99 Windstar - wiring for universal actuator/remote ket

To resolve the unreliable door lock actuator problem on Windstars as discussed here, especially by garysync, I bought a universal actuator / wireless remote kit. No problems installing the actuator hardware on doors, sliding door (only one on this Winnie), and rear lift gate. The problem is how to connect the wiring.

Attached is a drawing of the aftermarket kit and a rough diagram of the driver's side Lock/Unlock switch (relays). I just can't figure how to wire the kit to the Lock/Unlock switch in such a way that the wireless remote will work. As the drawing indicates (please excuse my poor graphics) the kit has a wirelss receiver that is designed to be hard wired to the actuators. What I want to do is to put the receiver in the door itself and "piggyback" on the existing relay wiring.

Just to get this thread started, any ideas?

The schematic is too small and fuzzy to read. I installed a wireless in my 96 by the door lock switch in the back. There is plenty of room behind the panel to mount it. On the 96 the switches supply a ground to the lock/unlock inputs. The information with my remote was generic so I had to figure out what it was doing so I could wire it correctly. I also had to run 12 volts to it from an unused connector under the drivers seat. If you are replacing the actuators also then wire them to the wires that the old actuators are connected to. Hope this helps.
