Default door lock switches, grounds?

Hi everyone, just purchased a 94 with 113k. Started out trying to figure out why the door locks were trying to randomly activate on their own, don't operate with the switches at all, and the alarm randomly going off. Just dug out all of the wiring left over from a second alarm system that was previously installed. Shimmed out the door sensor. Blowing the door lock fuse now.
My question, on each of the dock lock switches I have positive on the "B" pin, and ground at the other 4 pins. That doesn't seem right? If I disconnect "C", the wire is not grounded, only the pin.
Thanks in advance

I'm guessing you only have one switch removed. Your seeing grounds through the other switch and the CCM. You need to get a Factory Service Manual set. You really need the wiring diagrams for your model year to understand what's going on.

Actually have both doors took apart, along with both lower dashes. Found some further wiring snafu's, corrected, and now no blowing fuses. However, still not working. Cross checked grounds in between with my meter, one says 10ohm, the other makes the meter cycle between open and resistance, back and forth. Guess I have more checking to do. I'll get the fsm soon, just bought this car 2 weeks ago. Waiting on a new set of injectors so I'm going thru everything else that I can, fixing little stuff.

Where is the pke located?
I didn't even know the car had one. I don't yet have access to a schematic for the system. There was an alarm system added to the car at some point. I've been removing the excess wiring left over by it.

Hopefully I won't have to go into it that far. I haven't seen any sign of the pke functioning yet, maybe I'll get lucky and it's just a fuse. Thanks for your input.
