hey everyone

i have decided to invest in a keyless entry system. I bought the Valet 712t from Circuit City for $60.

I am having a little trouble install it. I have it wired up to the vacuum pump in the spare tire well. There are three wires on the plug for the pump...ground...
yellow-12v (when unlocked)...
blue-12v (when locked)

I have 6 lock/unlock wires

Violet - unlock #87 normally open (input)
Blue/black - unlock #30 common output
brown/black - unlock #87a - normally closed
violet/black - lock #87 normally open (input)
white/black - lock #87 normally closed
green/black - lock #30 common output

I have it wired like this:


Now, when i press the unlock button..the pump will cycle..unlock the already locked locks but then keep running and re-lock them

when i press the lock button nothing happends.

can Anyone help?

Thanks

Kris

Since there is NO vacuum actuator in the driver's door on 1rst gen. 126 chassis; only a key/int. knob actuated switch (to vacuum pump in trunk); you must use an electric actuator in the driver's door. This electric actuator will be activated by the keyless system and in turn activate the pump and in turn the pump activates the vacuum locks in the other doors and trunk.

No wiring to pump in the trunk needed (or wanted) in 1rst gen 126.

I agree, I have a keyless system in my W123. The keyless system operates an electric actuator that was added the drivers door. The rest of the doors just follow the drivers door using the existing vacuum system.

i came to this realization and decided to toss the whole project in the trash..as i dont have the $ for an actuator or know where/how much they cost etc etc..thanks for ur help thou guys..much appreciated

They only cost about $8.

I can get it for $8 at Pep Boys.

craig could u enlighten me on how you installed the actuator (where on the door) so that one could get the panel back on? As I remebmer the door panel has a flat back.
