I used a 30 amp relay that I picked up from a stereo shop. It's not special, just make sure it can gandle enough amps.

You need a Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT) 30 amp relay.
It is eaisest if you get one with a wiring socket.
Like Raque said, any stereo/alarm shop should carry these.
Here is a 10-pack SPDT with sockets on eBay.
haha this install is not going nearly as smooth as id hoped.. could someone give a description of where to find the door relay? i was down there and couldnt find an orange wire down there, or lt green/black, maybe im looking in the wrong place? does it come out of the alarm?
finally got it.. for anyone trying to do this in the future.. the door relay is located in the drivers side foot well behind the kick panel
I know that I'm dredging this up from the depths of long ago, but I am trying to do this little mod so that I can open the rear door with the stock Isuzu remote.
I have the wiring diagram printed out and I'm ready to install the new relay for the popper, but I can't figure out which relay under the drivers side kick panel is the door lock relay. When you take the panel off there are three relays stacked on top of each other. Does anyone know which one is the door relay?
etlsport, I see that you where the last one to post on this regarding the location of the relay so do you remember which relay is which?
Thanks for the help.

Hmm, this sounds interesting, can I get a copy of this diagram? My email is in my profile.

In manual pics, it looks like the door lock relay is actually below those three black relays. Down at floor level, there are three (possibly more) white electrical harness connectors with foam wrapped around them. Most have male-female connections, but it looks like one of them is just a connector plugged into a relay. That one is the door lock relay.

I'd be interested in a copy of that wiring diagram too if you get a chance Raque.
Hmmm...saw the foam covered connectors and figured that they where for the doors. Didn't see a relay, but then again I wasn't looking for one down there. I'll head down and take a closer look and report back.
I see two white foam covered connectors and one foam covered metal cylinder with a white connector. Is the metal cylinder the relay? I've never seen one like that and I guess the reason that I didn't pay attention to it earlier was because I was looking for a black plastic cube shaped relay (like all of the others that I've seen). The cylinder does have the correct number and color wires coming out of it so I'm guessing that's it. Thanks Y33!
Also, I would totally upload the diagram, but I just have a print out from a while ago and I don't think that I saved an electronic copy of it. I'll look around, but hopefully someone else has it and can get it uploaded.
