type G: positive (+) multiplex
This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors.
DETERMINING THE PROPER RESISTOR VALUES: To determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key cylinder must be isolated from the factory door lock system. For testing, use a calibrated digital multimeter that is set to ohms.
note: To ensure an accurate resistance reading, do not touch the resistor or leads during testing.
note: Please refer to the Door Locking Systems document on
1.Cut the output wire from the door lock switch/key cylinder in half.
2.Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door lock switch/key cylinder wire to a reliable constant (+)12V source. Some good constant (+)12V references are the power input source to the door lock switch/key cylinder, the ignition switch
