Default Power Door Lock Conversion

The 84 parts car I just bought has power door locks and my 85 doesnt. The buttons on the switches were bad so I didnt think much about it until I saw OEM NOS switches on the 'Bay. Will the door harness on the '85 already have provisions for the PDL's or will I hafta pull out the harness in the '84 as well.

I think you are going to have to take off the panel and look. C4s without power locks are so rare, I would be surprised if anybody knows. I think it would be cool not to have the power options. I Just like having something different.

Yeah I remember a post a while back on the PDL's or lack there of. Apparently the PDL's were the ONLY option the '84 had, you would like it for that. I dunno, with the new buttons and other cherry picked pieces my '85 will look much better. Most lettering and button heads in my '85 are badly deteriorated like it sat open to the rain for a while before being restored. Even the dash VIN plate is rusted.
