Dumb central locking question

My brother-in-law is wiring up the central locking in his Zook, but he's doesn't know where exactly you connect the lock/unlock sensor wires to (They lock/unlock when grounded).

Any help?

G'day, those wires are so the central locking can be controlled by a remote unit or alarm. Does he have one of these as well? Need a bit more info.

Cheers

Matt.

No, just stand alone central locking.

Sorry, terminate them as in ground them or insulate them off at the ends?

Insulate the ends with a bit of heat shrink. Not a bad idea to tag them too though in case he installs an alarm later - he'll no doubt have lost the central locking wiring diagram by then!
