Actually you were right. The constant 12v works there so I hooked in the violets and the red there and the dealer suggested it might be the ground so I put all three of those together on the ground. Still only locks and doesn't unlock or vice-versa. So close.

Does it matter that the ground isn't a ring? I got one of those U-shaped connectors. I can buy a ring if need be but I didn't think it was a big deal. Otherwise I'm just cruising forums looking for someone with the same problem.

Should I try using the violet wires or the brown/black and white black as the lock/unlock wires instead? That doesn't really make sense but the manual says polarity could be the problem so... I'm lost.

I don't understand what you mean by "I put all three of those together on the ground". Do you mean Black, Brown/Black and White/Black? (since they are the only wires that should be grounded).

A ring terminal doesn't matter as long as you are on a solid ground (for example the bolt under the driver's kick panel).

With the actuators, are they two wire? If so, Blue/Black should go to one of the two wires and Green/Black to the other.

Yeah, sorry for not being clear. I wrapped black, black/white, and brown/black and put them into a u-shaped connector and then connected it to the ground bolt.

I'm thinking if maybe somehow there's not a good connection with the pink ignition cable, maybe the remote is programmed incorrectly. I'll figure something out hopefully.

And yeah, they are two wire actuators.

I don't think so on the programming.

Disconnect the blue/black and green black wires from the actuators and measure the voltage between them.

It should be 0V with no button pressed and the +12 when one button (lock/unlock) is pressed and -12 when the other lock/unlock is pressed.

Hey, good news! I got everything up and working. Turns out the tap splice to the ignition wire wasn't a good connection so while I had thought I had programmed it, I obviously hadn't. So once I got that programmed it now locks and unlocks. Hooray.

Time to tape everything up and put it back together.

Now to name my first child CT or Scott, kidding...

I got mine off fleabay but if you're going with A1, you'll need this kit I'm pretty sure (LINK) if you have a sedan; the two-door version if you have a coupe.

The yaris has cable-pull locks so you need special brackets to hold the cable sheath stationary while the actuator moves the cable (see the first post). That's what all the parts are for.

Good luck.

Bought this kit and it came today. Took me four hours to do the first door, lol. Do the doors not lock or unlock after you have the kit completely assembled and tightened down? I only have the rear left door done, and the lock doesn't move when trying to do it manually.

Well I got all my actuators, etc working. My question is. Where did you connect the red power wire to? The battery or is there somewhere under the dash I can connect it?

Basically I can't figure out which open spot in the fuse box, under the dash to use to get the constant 12v of power.....???

Check out my remote start DIY for a good location for a high current constant +12:

Well I finally finished installing the power locks and keyless entry. So far so good. Just hoping the lock cable doesn't snap anytime soon.

How much more difficult is it to install the security system if I ordered the package from A1electric with it?

I just recently installed a power lock kit with remote entry from A1electric and a power window kit from another vendor. Installing the actuators is the easy part, as compared with installing the keyless entry, remote start, or alarm module.

From pictures, the actuators do look simple enough to install! The choice of installing an alarm, along with the power lock kit, is tempting! I *feel* like I can install the actuators, however, when it comes to an alarm, that is where I'm a bit weary. I think I'm going to order the power window kit and the power lock kit from a1electric sometime this week. I figured if I have the door panel off already, why not do both at the same time? At the same time, am I biting off more than I can chew?

It definitely makes sense to do them at the same time, and the wiring is really pretty easy. I can walk you through any questions that you run into.
