Help!!!! Doors Unlock but do not Lock
I have a 99 camaro and i installed a viper 5204 alarm/remote start system. Everything worked for a few minutes after I figured out how to wire the 5-wire relays for the door lock and unlock to work.
After it worked for a matter of minutes the doors stopped unlocking and locking with the key remote and the switches inside the car. I realized that I blew a courtesy fuse and after i replaced it the doors began to unlock but they still do not lock. For those that know, the door actuator in the camaro lock with a negative and unlock with a positive charge. however with a multimeter i figure out that the lock wire going to my doors is negative and when i hit the lock button it produces a positive charge. I need to know how this polarity changed because it used to be positive and when i hit the lock button a negative charge.
Tested the actuators and they work and the bcm also works. The car is drivable and everything else works fine. I just i have to manual lock my doors now, but of course i can unlock them with the remote or the switches inside the car. I have tried everything under the sun including disconnecting the battery cables so things can reset and the relearn sequence for the VATs system. If anybody has anything to add please comment as I would appreciate it.

Let's copy this to "General..... F-Body Tech" to see if we can scare up some responses.
