Well I eventually want to get an alarm system, and it would be kind of stupid if you disarm it via the remote and then have to unlock the doors with the key. So I want to convert to power locks so that when I get an alarm I can get it to unlock the doors as it disarms.
Is this possible? How difficult is it? Is there a kit or something I can buy and just do it myself ?
Buy a central doorlocking system. Their not fun to install. With most cars i took the doors off so i could get the wires threw the gromets so it looks 110% factory. The kit consists of a few actuators and miles of wire, in some cases you will need to lengthen these wires. Its a good 1/2 day job with a buddy for a newb at wiring.
if u have power windows u should have power locks, when u unlock the drivers door does the passenger unlock too? if it does u have power locks, but i still used aftermarket actuators… i got them for free by jackign them from a honda in the junkyard… all an door lock acutator is, is a motor that pulls the rods that lock the doors…
it’s most likely broken lol, as you really should have them haha, but inanycase actuators are really easy to come by, they aren’t difficult to mount at all, just running those wires is a bitch as has been mentioned
Im the same way, I have power windows, but not power door locks, and like you my passenger side is hard to open too. I have to turn the key towards the back of the lock first, and then forwards to unlock. That works for me, give it a go.
