smudgerhtc Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Thin white and purple open thin black and yellow close and it's positive pulse hope fully you have both the connector plugs in door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demented Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 If no wiring loom to door lock motors, wouldn't it be wired up as if using door actuators rather than positive locking?I initially sent the 6 wire installation guide by pm. I guess as the initial post was at beginning of Oct, it may of been sorted by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ced950121 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 On my scorpions installation book it says you use two wires for the motor unlock and lock and then there is two more wires that you connect to either a constant +12v or earth, I tried both ways and still doesn't work.

Yes, that's the 6 wire configuration for acuators (door motors)2 wires for lock & unlock ( one wire = lock, other wire = unlock)2 wires for 12v positive or Earth2 wires not used. The above configuration will not work if you have fitted the entire Ford locking system complete with Ford control module.If Ford control module is being used, only 3 wires from the alarm are used, two wires for lock and unlock and the third wire is a locking determination wire, which is connected to a 12v positive or an Earth depending on the type of locking system. I believe and its also been suggested by another member, the Ford Escort has positive locking, so if the Ford locking module is being used then the determination wire is connected to 12v live (positive).

demented Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I've made a mistake, I've just had a look at a wiring diagram For actuator locking use all six wires2 wires to door motors2 wires to live2 wires to earth If you have connected like above and that is the same configuration stated within the instructions and the locking motors are not operating via the alarm, I can only assume that the alarm or the alarm locking module is faulty.

ced950121 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 All I've got it the complete door motors but no loom or central locking module, so I will need to use the brown wire off the door motor plug and earth it? Then I need to find out which other wires are lock and unlock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demented Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Yeah, if your using Ford multiwire door lock motors, it's a little more complicated as the motors are designed to operate other door motors when operated independently of any alarm. I believe there are tiny micro switches inside the motors which disconnect contacts. Firstly connect the alarm wires using the 6 wire configuration and test that the correct output is being given at the ends of the lock and unlock wire using a test lamp, so test lamp lights when locked, test that other wire lights when unlocked. The Ford multiwire door lock motors may need a permanent live and or earth, unfortunately I can't remember. It's a long time since Ive done this. Ideally, the alarms lock and unlock wires provide an earth to the door actuators from the wire not being used but when using the Ford multiwire motors, I believe the micro switches inside the motors disconnect the contact of that wire; so in theory, only one wire is connected.
