Default linking clifford alarm to central locking, S2 ERST

ok, following on from sorting my S2 ERST central locking wiring, which i have since sourced a sub-loom so now have wiring to the central locking motors in the doors.

i have a clifford concept 100 alarm system fitted to the loom, but it has never been linked to the central locking as iv never had it before obviously. my doors are now delocked, so i have no choice but to use the remote central lockin function of my alarm system.

now iv unwrapped the alarm wiring near the main control unit, and found the wires the installation manual tells me are

door lock output (+) or (-)

and

door unlock output (+) or (-)

now do i got about linking these to my central locking motors to make them lock/unlock. im assuming they go to the drivers door as it would be the master side of things, but to which wires i link these to, i have no idea

also, i need to wire up a solenoid to pop my tailgate, as that is delocked now. i have located the alarm wire 'aux channel A' which has the boot pop icon next to it, so my keen brain guesses this is correct lol. how would i go about wiring up a simple solenoid to pop the boot from the alarm fob? im guessing the solenoid itself simply needs a power and earth, and then this alarm signal feed attached somewhere also?

any help greatly appreciated

Would of sorted the wiring before getting it all delocked!! However on my after market central locking relay i have connections for an alarm system. I suspect if u have a multimeter just find the wire that trips negative or positive when unlock and do the same for lock then wire them into the clifford accordingly.

well iirc its a negative trigger so you need the

2 negative wires on the alarm

and if you look on the wiring loom you just put in then you will see

a yellow wire and

a white wire

i think yellow is unlock
and the white one lock

you would connect these wires to the together just behind where the glove box would be that way can't be easily traced or got to without taking dash out

also the boot you could use a central lock motor as normal but DO NOT CONNECT TO MAIN LOOM use the unlock wire and earth this to bodywork then connect the red wire i think it is and connect this with the grey aux channel a wire of the alarm system

hope this helps thanx alain
