Devilchild Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Surprisingly fitting central locking is quite simple. It just a matter of finding two motors from a scrappy, then find out the unlock and lock wire for each motor and connect these, then locate the earth wires (and earth them ) and run the power wire (with inline fuse) to the battery. So haynes manual is a nessecitiy to find out the colour of the wires. To upgrade to central locking the easiest way is to buy a really cheap aftermarket alarm and connect its unlock/lock wires to the corresponding wires running between both motors. hope this helps steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
