If my door switches were working, that's exactly how I'd do it. Unfortunatley they're not, so I'm going the direct-to-pump route.
Turns out my pump is bad at the circuit board -- the motor/pump work prefectly. Last night I pirated it and soldered two relays (lock and unlock) and bench tested it. So far, so good. Cool thing about that is all my new relays/wiring will fit nicely along with the pump in the old housing.
The remote I got from AutoZone only provides short 300ma pulses for the lock and unlock functions. I think I may need a timer relay to provide more time for the pump to do it's job.
That'll be clear once I mount the unit on the car.
