Default Keyless entry

Does anyone have any experience with aftermarket keyless entry. I made up my relays for the reverse polarity and tried it behind the glove box. It locks and unlocks the lock in different directions. Switches work fine. I’m using the tan and gray wires.I believe the relays are wired correctly. Should I be using the wiring on the other side on the drivers side kick panel. We got orange /hot. Blue tan and gray wires. I’m having a hard time following the wire diagram. Two grays and two tans go in the drivers actuator one gray and one tan in the passages side. One black on the drivers and I believe three on the passenger that includes the one to ground on the door. Any thoughts? It’s a 1982.

I read that article after numerous articles and should have payed more attention to it. Some say behind the glove box was an easy pick. Not on the forum of course. The guys on the forum know how to do it. The blue wire lights as you test it with the switch on the passage side but not on the driver which led me to believe it was for a trigger to the factory alarm. I’ll have to investigate more. Two wire to the motor and two to the switch. Blue and black which is ground. Going to have to rethink. The alarm companies don’t help. They must have an agreement with installers. I guess it’s only fare just like any other trade. Thanks for taking a look and trying to help. I appreciate it.
