Remote Popper - IT WORKS!!

[etlsport]

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.

Sorry guys, my computer crashed & burned, so I lost the diagram - trying to slave the old hard drive, if I'm able to recover it over the next few days, I'll send it to you. The description in my origianl post may help you, particularly if you have a wiring diagram handy. Also, the guy that bought my car may still have the original diagram - I'll email him & see.

I'm sure that's it. While it did look cylindricly shaped in the picture, I couldn't tell for sure because of the angle the picture was taken so I didn't mention it. Now we know though.

Did all of the wiring on this little project, but as usual, it doesn't seem to want to work for me. I got it so that both front doors unlock with one push of the button, but the second push doesn't do anything. Also, pushing the unlock button on the doors doesn't do bupkis, and when I push the door release button on the dash the dome light comes on, but the door doesn't unlock.

I've always had bad luck with automotive wiring, because things never seem to work right the first time. I have the rear door popper wired into a stock Isuzu door release button, and I ran an extra wire from the pin at the rear door to light up the "door ajar" light. I think this posed problems from the beginning because if one of the doors where open, and the door ajar light was on, pushing the door release button did nothing. If the doors where closed, or if I held the trigger for the dome light down, the rear door would work fine. I'm hoping that this has something to do with the new set up not working. I'm going to remove the wire from the rear pin to the door ajar light and double check my wiring to the new relay. Hopefully that will fix everything.

I'll report back later.

First post here mentioned glove box release for rear door. I do not seem to have this in my glove box.
Was this standard with the vehicle, where should it be in glove box?
