I'm not sure. I'm only really familiar with the kit I used which seemed really straight forward. Whats the model name of the kit you're using?

The button should just pop out. On the back are the lock and unlock leads
along with the ground that they each need and a dash light lead.
Sounds like you've got a good handle on this bit of fun.
All you need is a ground for lock or unlock.
These PDF's may help.

If thinking you weren't abused so far, I will try harder now. ;)

I ordered one of these (omega REC-43T) and installed it today.

Super easy. You get your power and ground from the wires going to the headlight switch, then tap the other harness into the two lock/unlock wires going into the lock switch. I did it in about 30 minutes, and I soldered all my connections. Just mount the unit down where your wiring harnesses and relays are with some heavy zip ties, and tuck the antenna wire above the plastic trim that covers the knee bolster. Set your jumpers on the unit to "on demand", then program the remotes.

I'm getting about 25ft. of range with it. Not bad for $25.

I don't suppose range is an issue with these gadgets, you did well on price, too!
