Subject:      HOWTO: Installing aftermarket power door locks in an '85 vanagon
              westfalia
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

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.
