I just finished my power door lock project. Thought I would write it up: http://jupiter.okb-1.org/vanagon/power_locks.html This page generally details how I installed power locks in my non-power-lock 85 westy. I will be adding more images as I come across better ones. All four locks are powered (two front doors, slider, and rear hatch). All operate automatically with the alarm system remote control. Also added is a dome light switch to the sliding door, and a second dome light. Hope this is helpful to someone. It is a decent amount of work, but only about $40 without the alarm, and $80 or so with. -- Audin Malmin - audin@okb-1.org |
