Title: Adding aftermarket electric door locks/ keyless entry
Post by: anrkii on November 13, 2012, 05:05:26 AM
I added a keyless entry system to my car, and it was easy, that is once I figured out where everything goes:
I bought a $30 kit from ebay: (http://i01.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/502844549/Car-4-font-b-Doors-b-font-Remote-Central-font-b-Locking-b-font-font-b.jpg)

the front door was super easy, only had to drill one hole, its highlighted in orange.

the screws straddle the oval hole perfectly

back doors werent bad, either. I had to drill a hole in the bottom or the door to run the wires in and heres the solenoid mounting, drilled holes in orange:

anyway its a cheap and easy option for an upgrade or replacement of faulty original lock solenoids.

I just don't like when they jam. My factory one did on the driver's side and the key nearly broke trying to get it open because it jammed 1/2 turned.
