Door lock switches provide the ground path.

I think it would be considered a three wire system. Of course, it also might be a reverse polarity system...... would have to see how they define their terms.

In the 01 service manual, on page 8W-61-2 is a wiring diagram for the power locks. have a look. (you can get the manual from the FAQ section.)

Too much modification has been done on this rig , for anyone to give you an accurate diagnosis. You installed the power accessories yourself(or should I say, someone else did after it didn't work).?

Now, who know's what color wire's do what and go where. I say bring it to the shop that fixed the first F up , and let them install your new alarm. You'll most likely going to end up doing that anyway.

i took it to the guy to fix the seat belt being locked up, because i was simply being lazy. he told me what was wrong, he didn't fix it, i took it home and finished everything up. yes, it took me a week, but i did it all myself. i can take the panels off and figure out this question, but i thought id see if anyone knew off the top of their heads before i go ripping **** apart again. sorry for ASKING a FORUM for a hand to save me time.

I would like to think you could tap into the harness where it comes into the truck from the drivers door...... if your alarm module can complete the ground circuit, Orange with Black trace will lock, Pink with Black trace should unlock. Provided the wires are the same as the wiring diagram shows.........

Sorry there bud, Didn't mean to get your panties in a bunch. Maybe you should see if Omega has a site, with a forum and maybe a FAQ section of there own. The odds of some one here installing the same thing, is pretty low. Just saying. Hope you getting working .

The circuit is always powered. Hitting the switch provides the ground for the actuators. Need to figger out which wires provide GROUND path on the alarm module, and splice into the wires as outlined above.
