shawdreamer Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 hi guys iv got a escort 1.4 freedom has electric windows but no central locking wondering how hard would it be to wire standard ford cl motors up thanks easier, quicker, cheaper and more practical to fit a aftermarket job..... added benefit of having the optional remote locking too if you so desire.

Its easy to identify the right place to hook onto, its basically the little metal looped arm that moves when you use the inside door handle (which overrides the door barrel whether its locked or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
