EDIT: Figured it out and it was all me. I was trying to lock the doors with the door open. It had nothing to do w/ the keyless door module and everything to do w/ Toyota not wanting their buyers to lock their keys in their car w/ the keys in the ignition. (Leaving my original commend below in case anyone else has a brain fart and does the same thing...) I have a similar Amazon aftermarket keyless door lock system and have a weird issue. I have it wires as such from the harness that came w/ the alarm... 1998 Toyota Tacoma SR5 (Electric locks, just no remote capability from the factory) Red (12V+) Black (Ground) White (Pin 13) (12V+ Accessory/Ignition) - With this connected, it seems to lock and unlock the doors when I turn the key to Accessory White (Lock) Yellow (Ground) White/Black (Unlock) Yellow/Black (Ground) The remotes work just fine. It's when the truck is running (or in accessory) that things aren't right. The truck will not lock. I have disconnected the White (Pin13) Ignition wire and I get the same results. So with this white connected. I unlock the truck, get it, start the truck, the locks cycle to locked and quickly unlocked. I cannot manually lock the truck. They quickly unlock again. With this White (Pin 13) disconnected, I unlock the truck, get it, start the truck, the locks no longer try to lock (so this wire is to lock on start) I still cannot manually lock the truck. They quickly unlock when I try. Any suggestions?
@@DeanoKelley hmm difficult to say for certain but. I will experiment on my truck when I'm not working. It sounds like a "feature" to prevent you from locking your keys in your truck when it's running is interfering.
@@DeanoKelley I can say for certain that if my truck is running, and I get in and close all the doors and hit the lock button, the doors do infact lock and stay locked
I've got a 98 base Taco (California) none of the junction box plugs look like yours and the wiring diagram from toyota's page of plug styles don't have my configuration either. I suspect there's a California-only addendum that is top secret.
Interesting. If you get a cheap test light you can mostly figure it out I bet. This truck in the video was purchased in California although now it resides on the East Coast. If you're probing around and end up needing to cut a wire to test it, just cut it in a spot that gives you enough space to solder it back together on either side and you should be good.
@@shelbybuxton6226 Check out a channel called "Overland Under Budget" he does a much better job filming it. Might be easier for you to see. Your truck does have factory electronic locks correct? If so the wires should be just below the fuses on the bottom row of the plug.
Maybe you could use a test light? Hook the clamp to ground, hit the unlock button on your fob and probe the wire out of the control box....see if it flashes the test light
@@bbevans07 haven't wired it up to anything yet. You could potentially buy a cheap flasher relay, and wire it to the horn for a panic button? Still waiting to come up with something more useful.
Followed your instructions and it all worked. Thanks for making this video!!!
No worries! Glad to have helped..welcome to the life of luxury!

Can i join the black ground with the orange and plug it to a chasis ground? Also why the brown wires are always in pair? Thanks for the video
Your my hero man!
Appreciate the feedback, it means a lot!

I have a 2000 4x4 taco and I’m having issues installing/locating the wires I need to hook it up.any help out there?thanks for your time
@@shelbybuxton6226 which wires are you having trouble locating?
@ lock and unlock wires to make it work at first of the video
@@shelbybuxton6226gray and purple?
Yes!

Instead of lights flashing, can this be setup to honk the horn?
Should be very doable. Just trace the wire back from the horn and figure out which one gets energized. I'm just guessing though, I haven't tried it
Psa: watch the video all the way before following instructions. I wired white/black to grey and white to purple before he corrected himself haha
Damn my bad dude. I hope you got it working. Its a little difficult to keep track of all the different colors ha
lol don’t feel bad; I’m just poking fun. Your video still saved me an hour and a half. I got it fixed and the keyless works like a charm now. Thanks!
I did everything the same as you, but the unlock is not working. Any idea?
Maybe you could use a test light? Hook the clamp to ground, hit the unlock button on your fob and probe the wire out of the control box....see if it flashes the test light
Can you put a link ?
Yes added it now
Have you found a use for the extra button on the remote?
