I just came in from the garage finishing my install. Like you I followed
the insructions and it didn't work. I ended up pulling the cover for the
kick panel and found a harness that has the wires I needed access to. I
think it is the middle harness and you need the blue wire and the orange
wire. I've already got everthing back together so I can't run out and look
at the colors for you. When I tapped these mine worked. Use a multimeter or
test light to verify that you get voltage when you hit the lock/unlock
button. BTW I've got an '01 QC also.
