how to fit central locking STICKY???

Post by AWESOMEAUTOMOTIVE »

this may take quite a while to write
first off i will not bore you with how to remove your doorcards as i'm sure most of you would of had them off at some point
the main 12v+ supply can be picked up from the ignition barrel and it is a thick red wire
earth can be taken from any existing earth point behind the drivers footwell carpet
so here goes

step 1
with the drivers door open and doorcard removed push the door lock into the closed position
Image
now push the door lock pin down to the lock position
Image
then get you clamp from you motor kit and fit it as low down as you can
Image
now fit the rod to the motor and push it up into the same point as the lock pin
now line up the motor on the door skin making sure you have not tightened up the clamp on the rod(this helps to make sure the motor can line up square on the door)
Image
make sure the motor is in its shortest position and the rod is vertical (you will see that there is a slight kink in the rod this is to allow the rod to pass over the door handle rod without fouling it)
when you have it lined up correctly you can mount it by drilling 2 3mm holes in the doorskin that line up with the motor holes
now you need to run your cables into the door
if it is a central locking kit with a five wire motor then you will need to run the five cables into the drivers door and connect them colour for colour
usually as follows

blue
green
black
brown
white

copy this procedure for both the front doors

rear doors
push the lock rod down first
the clamp needs to be connected in this position
Image
the rod will require a bend to be put on it to be able to connect to the lock rod
fit the clamp to your locking motor rod first then you will find it reasonably easy to clamp it to the cars lock rod
the motor goes in this position making sure it is fitted again in its shortest position
Image
you will see i have had to use 2 metal straps and the rear doors (if you have them use the 2 wire motors
thats basically how you do it
if you need more pics or info please ask
hope this helps

cheers
