Don't be a dick...how would you like it if you had a question and you were patronized for it? I mean, the guy's a newbie (at least by his status here)...I know it took me a while to figure out exactly how to do the job.

Not tryin to get on your case, but you can offer advice w/o belittling others!:)

Anyways, sorry I didn't get that pic today...to distracted on campus ;) I'll try to do it tomorrow!

Some Accords came with power locks...I've seen the actuators before, but obviously I didn't need them. You'll need something to trigger the locks to lock/unlock them. I have a remote start/keyless entry thing I got off eBay for $26. It's made by Bulldog Security. Both the features have worked pretty well, though when the engine's cool sometimes it takes two crankings to get it started. It may have also messed up my main relay...not sure.

So back on topic...if you have something to control the lock/unlocking, it's really easy. Mine involved a relay or two. I'd offer to get pics of the relays, but they're a real pain to get to. If you need more of the mounting, let me know. Good luck!!! :)

Yeah, you could try and run it through that same access tube, but I tried that and it was a pain, so I just ran the lock wires along side of the tube and zip-tied it so it was secure. There should only be two wires...well, some kits have 3, not sure what that's about, but most kits come with a wiring diagram anyways, so you'll figure it out. I can't remember how all the relay wiring was. You could go to a stereo shop or some place that installs alarms...maybe even RadioShack...they could probably tell you how to wire it.
