OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS
TESTING: Door Locks
There are three basic types:
“Type A” Door Lock Test (Most GMs and some Chryslers)
Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch usally located in the driver’s kick
panel. Attach the clip end of your test light to a good chassis ground. Using the vehicle’s door lock
controls, activate the lock then the unlock, testing both wires one at a time. If one of these wires
tests (+) positive when lock is pressed and the other tests (+) positive when they are unlocked, your
vehicle has a “Type A” door locking system. Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock. Proceed
to Connecting Door Locks, Connecting Door Locks. NOTE: “Type A” and “Type C” locks will test the same,
until you test for ground. Make sure you run both tests before making your connections.
“Type B” Door Lock Test (Most Imports, some newer Fords)
Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch usally located in the driver’s kick
panel. Attach the clip end of your test light to +12V. Using the vehicle’s door lock controls, activate
the lock then the unlock testing both wires one at a time. If the test light illuminates when you probe
the lock and the unlock wires your vehicle has a “Type B” door locking system. Make sure to mark which
wire is lock and unlock. Proceed to Connecting Door Locks.
“Type C” Door Lock Test (Most Fords, some Chryslers, GM Trucks)
(Optional part #778 required)
Using your test light probe both the lock and the unlock wires usually located in the driver’s kick
panel. Attach the clip end of your test light to ground probing both wires one at a time while locking
and unlocking the doors with the driver’s side switch (usually the master switch). The test light should
illuminate in both switch positions. Now attach the clip end of your test light to +12V constant, probe
both wires one at a time again. The light should then illuminate again only in reverse order. This
tells you that you have a “Type C” reversing polarity system. Make sure to mark which wire is lock and
unlock. Proceed to Connecting Door Locks.

GM, some Chrysler vehicles.
