I've been updating my electrical wiring and adding microcontrollers to give my El Camino some modern features. I replaced the door lock/ unlock relay with modern bosch style 5-pin relays. I created a diagram and attached it as PDF. The OG relays are a bit harder to find, and when you find them, they are expensive. I hope this can help someone save some time and money.

I pulled the brown and gray actuator wires, the orange-black power wire, and the blue and black switch wires from the original relay in the passenger side kick panel into the glove box area.

I removed the glovebox and mounted the relay to the body to the right of the glovebox. There's plenty of room to open and close the glove box.
