Yes, this was dumb, especially since I'm dumb when it comes to electronics. Moving on.
I got inspired to try to shave some more weight from my car, and I began eliminating wiring I didn't need--stereo, ARC, etc. For some reason I also decided I wanted to remove the keyless/remote entry system, and now I can't get my power locks to work. I have an EVTM an I'm trying to figure this out.
In the driver's door, the door lock actuator (C510) has two wires running from it: Red/Orange and Pink/Black. R/O runs directly to the keyless entry module. Pk/Bk splices into the passenger side actuator connector (C610), which also uses Pink/Orange. The other ends of all of these wires run directly to the keyless entry module (C455). There are no other splices, and they don't connect anything else.
How can I wire the door lock actuators to work without the keyless entry system? Some of these cars came without keyless entry, so there has to be a way to make it work. As far as I can tell from the EVTM, I just need to run these wires to the door lock switches , but so far I haven't been able to make it work.
Going by the EVTM diagram for non-remote entry cars, I thought I should be able to run the R/O wire from the actuator to the Pink/Light green (unlock) wire on the driver's side door lock switch (C514), and the Pk/Bk wire to the Pink/Yellow (lock) wire on the door lock switch. That didn't work--does it matter that I was only trying to connect one door? Do I need to fully connect the wiring for both doors, or am I going about this all wrong?
The schematics are in sections 110 and 111 of the 1994 EVTM if you can play along and help me out.
