Default Power locks not working!

ok, so today I just finished a power locks, and windows swap for my dx... again... long story but anyway I finish it all up, and no locks... I know the windows wont work till I get a relay but what are some possibilities for the locks?

Also my car is a 98DX coupe and I got the floor and dash harness from a 97EX coupe. The door panels, wiring harness, lock acutators, and window actuators are all from a 99SI. anyway, some help would be nice.

So.... you have part from 3 years worth of cars......and don't understand why it don't work?
Was there any "hard wiring" involved, or was it all plug and play? Myself I cannot imagin all of
this simply plugging in! Where do you need a relay to get the windows to work?
And how are you attempting to operate the locks.... via the switch on the door, or a remote transmitter?
This is an offly wild project.

awfully wild project?? yeah you caould say that in the least! lol I called the dealer though and the door harnesses are the same for the EX and the SI, so they should be compatible. As far as the locks not working, the door switch in the car will not lock the doors... I do not have a keyless entry. As far as the relay goes, I did not know that there was one, but i asked the same question on Honda Tech, and they said that there is a relay for the locks... so I was curious as to where it is, and how I could get one. Anyway, this is one frustrating project and I just want to get it done! lol

Also the main reason for this swap is that I want to get keyless entry, remote start, and a good alarm... Thanks for the reply at least because no body seems to want to touch this thread, lol

if you just wanted keyless for your alarm you would of been waaayyyy better off adding a aftermarket actuator....
all you would of had to do is run 2 wires into the doors and mount the actuator inline with your lock rods and tighten the clamp .....2 $3 relays and you have power locks for your keyless entry...... it takes me about 1 1/2 hours to do these at work so if you cant figure it out give it a try.... hope this helps
