Mind taking a picture of your kick panel wiring...found a light green black stripe wire, but it's not working...also do I connect the 2 relays to 87 or 87a to 87?

I don't know how much these will help, but here are a couple of shots of my wiring behind the kick panel. I can barely make heads or tails of this and I know what I'm looking at. If you give me a little bit of time I'll try to get these into photoshop and note them up.
Close-up of the Isuzu relay and the plugs for the two doors. The Isuzu relay is in the foreground wrapped in foam.
A better overall shot. The two new relays are kind of head-to-head. One is right side up, the other is upside down and they are both held in by the same bolt.

I'm not quite sure if I understand the question about the relays. You actually connect one relay to the other so that when you push the button on the dash it opens the first relay and allows the higher voltage signal to make it to the second relay, which then triggers the solenoid. Confused yet?Originally Posted by ojmagg
I'd be happy to call and talk you through this. Have the diagram handy and we can figure it out.

That helps....but the indicator light is always on...maybe my pin switch is grounding out...
Do I need the relays connect on post 87 (the diagram arrows say they do, but the wording says 87a to 87...)

Not sure what is going on with the pin switch. I ended up not using mine because I have the pin switch for the rear door connected to the wiring for the pin switches in the other two doors so that my dome light comes on when the rear door is open. I think I posted this before, but for some reason, when the indicator light on the switch is lit it nullifies the switch. That way when one of my doors was open, the indicator light would come on because the dome light was on, and the switch wouldn't work to open the rear door.
Actually you connect post 87 of the four post relay to post 87a of the five post relay (per the diagram). That way the high voltage/wattage output from the four post relay connects into the second relay to power the popper.
I hope this makes sense, because when I read back through it, it sounds like complete bunk.

Cool...you prob did post it before...I've a bit of ADD...crystal clear now, thanks for beating a dead horse!

No prob. That's what we're all here for; to help each other out.....and get in some good natured ribbing every now and then.
Let me know how it works out.

So...I have the Tgate switch working...but, the 2nd press of the fob does not activate the popper. Could it be the Realays? My 4 post is 40 Amps and the 5 post is 30 Amps...I know the connections are correct...
