Remote Central Locking Keyfob

Had a crack at this today but I'm stuck now...

 

It's all wired up. The central locking still works (which must be a good thing since it now passes through the Hawk box). The Hawk box doesn't work: press lock or unlock on the keyfob, nothing happens. 

 

There's a fuse on the constant live from the Hawk box, so I pulled it out a little so I could get the multimeter in and it appears there's no power. So I'm wondering if anyone can confirm a constant 12v live feed from around the fusebox. 

 

Instructions from Hawk say white wire behind fusebox is constant 12v. So I found one in a loom behind the fusebox, just out of sight in the picture below, but it give you a good idea of the location (bottom centre of fusebox):

This is a picture of the actual wire, connected via scotch lock to the red constant 12v from the Hawk box:

Does this look correct? 

 

It's a tricky one to get to, so it could just be the scotch lock not connected properly. But if anyone has any pointers I'd appreciate them.

Ignore the above. Got the power wires sorted now.

 

Still not working. So I'm thinking I may have tapped into the wrong wires for the locking. Which might explain why the central locking is still working with the key.

it should still work with the key no matter what

 

The central locking? Obviously it should still work if wired up correctly. But I tried disconnecting the wires again and it still worked. Which is a worry! These are the lock and unlock wires (or what I believed to be them!) fed into the door. Surely if these were the correct wires, the central locking would no longer work at all whilst disconnected?

 

I have no idea how to find the correct ones though. I can't even find the central locking unit.
