Power Door Locks
I want to install power door locks in my '82. I know about the solenoids and mounting position. What I don't know is the wiring (to the door locks, etc.). Help.

I have power windows but the wiring harness is different that what comes with the power door lock version.
I may be out of luck on this one unless I take it to a pro and spend lots of $$$$$.

PCFRED,
Depending on how you want to install the locks, either manual switch or remote control, you will need two relays. (one to lock the other to unlock)
I bought a wireless remote alarm for about $50. used it to control the relays. Both solenoids need to be wired the same way ie: to lock or unlock together (or you need 4 solenoids to lock and unlock each).
Then you need either an alarm controller or manual switches to control the relays.
There are a couple of articles on the archives about this.
Hope it helps.
