  1. I believe that the problem is from remote or receiver because I did all the test about wiring. All confirmed. How can I recognize that the kit is faulty or not?


    I can just hear a click sound when I press learning switch on circuit board and not anything else when press remote button for programming. remote's blue light turns on and off at anytime when I press them. I made sure that the power is going through the main board. but I can't find out does the remote communicate with board or not?!!!
  2. Let me Explain something. my Car model is exactly this: 1995 Toyota Corolla CSi AE101R
    and My car has got factory default central locking like when I open driver's door or passenger's door by key, All other doors will open up.
    So, This kit should work with this equipped central locking, Right?

    Yes, that's pretty much the same as mine (mine is 1994 AE102). I am not sure what could be wrong.

    The only thing I can think is that maybe the wires are a little different between our two models?

    If you are careful, you should be able to confirm the wiring is correct by briefly making a connection between the common wire and the lock/unlock activation wires. Carefully and briefly putting a short piece of wire between these should lock/unlock the car as appropriate. However, I can't be responsible if something goes wrong from this. The only safe way to test it is to do what I described in one of my earlier posts; I disconnected the plug which carried the wires from the door, then used my multimeter to check the resistances between the different wires coming from the door; when the key is turned, the resistance should be become 0 between the lock wire (or unlock wire as appropriate) and the common wire.

    Isn't better firstly test the kit receiver then go for wiring? cos I think something should be wrong with connection between remote and receiver. but I don't have any idea how to test it !

  3. Yes It's exactly same kit. I've bought it from same link that you sent before in your post. remote has got that blue light when it pressed, I'll check the power inside it and will let you know. BTW I hear a relay clicking when I press that little switch inside the receiver but not while pressing remote.

    Okay, I looked up my instructions for the kit again (see attached). They say you should press the learning switch, then in the next 10 seconds you need to press a button on both remotes; when you do this, a light should flash on the receiver circuit board.

    It's strange. Something is wrong. Didn't work. As you said I tested the power and the Power is in system correctly.

  4. I did exactly what you said but remotes didn't have any reaction. I follow all your steps that you mentioned. Where should be a problem?

    Hmm. Do the little blue lights on the remotes come on when you press them? I'm assuming you have the same kit as me in which case there are blue lights.

    Do you have a multimeter to check that you have +12V across the correct wires for power to the receiver?

    If it's working, you should be able to hear the relay clicking on and off when the remote is pressed.

    If none of this works, I have no idea what to suggest next, sorry :(.

  5. Hey Behnam, it's been a while since I did this, but from memory there is a little switch inside the receiver. You might have to open it up carefully with a screwdriver to find it. Once it's connected to the car's power, you press the switch and then press one of the buttons on the remote. You then repeat the process for the second remote.

    I did exactly what you said but remotes didn't have any reaction. I follow all your steps that you mentioned. Where should be a problem?

  6. Thanks for all your help. In the end despite many hours of trying to find wiring diagrams and trace/test wires, I wasn't able to find the right wire for parking lights or indicators. But I decided that since my locks are easily visible through the car windows, I could live without having that extra visual feedback. I installed it without that and it's working perfectly.

    In case anyone else wants to do something similar, here are my instructions:

    1. Buy the remote central locking kit. I bought this one ( http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261535476778 ) for $14.90, which is a BIGHAWKS brand and took a few weeks to arrive (though the eBay description does not mention the brand). If you buy a different one the wiring may not match what I have below.

    2. I pulled out the orange, grey, green and pink wires from the remote locking kit plug since they were not necessary. I also could have removed the purple wires (for the lights) but in my case I wasn't sure if I might end up wanting them so I just taped up the ends and bound them neatly with a cable tie. I taped together the blue, yellow/black and black wires in a few places because they are all spliced to the same place.

    3. Open up the kick panel on either the drivers or passenger side. The same wires are available on both. I installed it on the drivers side in case I ever found the right wire for parking lights since that'd be the place to look for them. On the drivers side it helps to take off the panel above too (where the ignition is etc.)

    4. Find where a bunch of white/black wires are bolted to the car body. These are the ground wires and you need to choose one of them to which you'll splice the blue, yellow/black and black wires. The remote central locking controller should not be connected while you are splicing wires. See picture below:

    5. Trace the bundle of wires coming from the door. This will connect to a plug on the kick panel - from it find the green/white and blue/black wires. In my case I was able to get access to the matching wires coming into the plug socket from behind. You need to splice the brown wire from the kit to the blue/black wire, and the yellow wire from the kit to the green/white wire. See below:

    6. Find the very thick white wire(s) going into the middle of the kick panel wiring. This is the constant 12V to which you should splice the red wire from the kit. I didn't take quite as much insulation off this one and was careful not to ground myself or my tools to anything else in the car while working on this wire because the battery was still connected.

    7. Next I connected the remote central locking controller, opened it to press the microswitch and activate the two remotes, and made sure it was all working. It worked first time, so I cable tied the controller out of the way.

    8. I finished soldering my splices (since taking the photos above I made sure the solder was better applied to the copper wires on which the kit was spliced), and then I applied some "liquid electrical tape" to the splices to ensure they are well sealed.

    9. Restore the kick panel cover and enjoy your remote central locking!

    I'm sure I haven't done everything the same as an auto electrician might have, but I am happy with it.

    Hi mate,

    I've used your instructions but it didn't work. can you please explain more about step 7. how remote can be programmed ?

    Thanks
