keyless entry in 90q20v update

[Andrew Lundy]

Dan--

I've installed this system in two of my cars.  One in my 80q and one in my
90q.

If your alarm deactivates when you unlock it with the "lock knob" you didn't
design it correctly.  I already have a wiring diagram drawn up for your
EXACT car.  If you'd like I can e-mail it to you....it only requires 2
5-prong relays and 2 4-prong relays to set-up!!  And the alarm works as it
should!!  I have everything from hooking up the pump and alarm to doing the
lights (which requires 2 more 4-prong relays).  All of the drawings are
designed down to the wire color for your car!!!

I'm curious what method you used to "design" your system.  I had a couple
crap designs before I got it right!!  Are you trying to control everything
on the Green/Red wire???  Can't do that...you have to go over to the alarm
system!!  Your also not going to want it under the backseat if you use my
diagrams...in the trunk will work way better!!!

Shoot me an e-mail back...I'll explain where your set-up went bad. (I'm sure
I had that design before)
