dalelc16 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Try turning key left then right. If it has cl then it should have deadlocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mex Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 My GTI had it but not my Finesse doesn't still habe all the parts from the GTI but need to know what I need to swap over. I bet it won't be something simple like swapping the controller module over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezz Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Think the actual door lock motors are different plus the control module ... Maybe more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawdreamer Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 iirc (its been a few years now) the absolute only difference between a door with deadlocking and one without on a escort all boiled down the the actually latch mechanism, some had the deadlocking feature built in while others didnt. again irrc the door lock barrels were the same, the link rods were all the same and the way the rods connected to the latch were the same. as for changing wiring and control module? well afaik the deadlocking feature is purely a mechanical feature and all contained within the latch unit itself. so in basic terms, aslong as youve got door latches you know came off a car with deadlocking you can swap your own current latches out for them a tada you have deadlocking (its really that simple and easy to do too) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Great stuff. I already stripped one of the doors down so I can have a go at that sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
