Central Locking!!!

[Wizza]

I have decided to fit central locking to my car... I have bought the kit from a company called http://www.rclick.co.uk... Very good prices...

Tonight I decided to look what I need to do to fit the kit... So I striped the inside of the door and got to this point...

Know does anyone know wht is the next step I must take... I am going to look through Google to find any step-by-step guides coz there wasn't any in the damn box!!!

yup. You need to attach the motor to the door pin. i used the metal wire stuff just under the door pin and then mounted the motor straight down accordingly. you'll have to run wires as well i just drilled a new hole next to the puggy wiring going out the door and put a gromet in

[Lacky]

if you dont get that i understand haha but il try draw you a pic or something if your struggling

[Wizza]

Yeah i get ya... Not too sure about the mounting though...

Cheers is you can get pics though...

I'm fitting a remote Unit and Alarm after this!!!

Just thought I would add... I am fitting one to my Boot aswell... My car has 3 doors!!!

[Wizza]

I have managed to fiqure it out... Only problem is afixing one to the boot and the wring...

It will be a nightmare when I get round to doing it!!!

Try to look at a 106 with central locking at your local breakers. Maybe you can get some idea or parts that could help you.

i installed central locking to mine, it was quite easy once i got my head around it. i think i managed to work it so that i only had to drill 1 hole in each door. pretty str8 forward, and well worth it.
i didnt fit it in the boot, coz i have no room in there anyway. so i dont open it much.

[Wizza]

Ha... I can see why you don't use the boot... I'm fitting a sub and amp this week along with 6x9's... You may not use it but it would keep that beast you have secure!!!

[Lacky]

the boots the easyest bar getting the wires down to the lock

[Wizza]

Yeah but I do I connnect teh solenoid to the lock... That's what I can't fiqure out... The little metal poles won't do it!!!

[Lacky]

if i remeber correctly i bent the end of the wire (two 90 degree bends making an s if you like) and slid that through the slide (theres a little loop bit yeah?) and connected it as before

If you want; send it to mee through MSN!!!

[Lacky]

cool pm me ur addy

[Wizza]

Right... Managed to get teh solenoids in place and its all wired up... Well it was until a damn fuse blew for teh Cigarette Lighter... I looped teh red cable onto teh lighter... But it only takes a few mins and teh fuse blows... Anyone know what to do!!!

I have already earthed the kit but finding it hard on what to do!!!

[drift_spec04]

if your desperate, i can pull my door card off and take some photos of how we did mine? maybe you have a loose wire somewhere making your circut broken.

[Wizza]

Nah the circuit is full... I have earthed the circuit but I don't know how to connect teh red wire to the back of teh cigarette lighter... (Without blowing a fuse)... Already blown 2!!!

[drift_spec04]

maybe run the wire to somewhere else that isnt the ciggy lighter. if u run it to the battery what happens?

[Wizza]

Yeah got it to work... Made an extension throught into the bonnet via teh gromit and connected to the screw under that little box north of the battery!!!

[Wizza]

Also managed to wire it all up ... No wires on show; except for the boot, but its hardly anything!!!
