Fortin Evo All Remote starter with aftermarket doorlock problems
I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK with aftermarket doorlocks that I installed. I bought the EVO All remote starter thinking this was going to be an easy install. So far this is worse then the installs I used to do in the old days.
Here is the issue. I talked to Fortin and the power lock and unlock for the Fortin key fob is on the 20pin connector it is the - green and - white wire. I tested this and it is true. I was told that for the door actuators you need to reverse the polarity. They gave me a diagram. I setup the relays just like this. Here is the out come and the problem. When you have everything hooked up and you hit the lock button the door will lock. When you hit the unlock the door will lock twice. I thought maybe I have the 2 - 30pin on the relays mixed up. So I switched then around. Now when I hit unlock it will unlock twice. when I lock it will unlock once.
It is like it won't switch from side to side. I either can lock the Jeep or unlock it.
NEED HELP WITH THIS!!!! I'M GOING TO LOSS IT SOON.

Try this might help
Disconnect EVO from the relay pack. Make sure the relay pack is powered up (where did you get the power from??) Then ground out the lock wire. Did it lock? Then ground out the unlock wire. Did it unlock?
If it worked the way its suppose too then the EVO is the problem. If it didn't check your wiring. Also check the outputs from the EVO. Are they sending out a ground(neg) trigger?
