hey guyz.. 94 del sol si - manual.... power windows.. but no power locks.. and the trunk has to be opened with a key?

here is my question... is it possible to take power locks off another car that has power locks and put it on my sol? my parents have a 94 dodge caravan .. and i'm sure i can pull the power locks off that thing? but i have no idea how or diagrams...

can someone plz help me?

 

well if you can find a sol with power locks then i would go for it. but it would take lots of retrofitting to put a caravans locks in your car. i would search, this is prolly covered by someone.

 

does anyone know what cars power locks are swappable?

 

Whatever you dont get locks off the van. You can buy some actuators at your local radio stores for about $20. I actually get them for about $10 but I know the owner.

by radio stores .. do u mean radio shack?

thanks

 

i also want to do this dude. What kind of acuators will work? what kind of wiring is necessary? switch location? etc?

 

I meant like a car audio store. I seriously doubt "Radio Shack" would have them. I actually just have mine set up with my alarm so it unlocks and locks with a push of the button.

Car stereo & Alarm shops install door lock actuators for cars.

I just bought DEI door lock actuators at Fry's for $20 a door (just parts).

To install them you will need some skills.... Best Buy charges $100 a pair of doors ... I think....

You need to run wires through the door and it is easier if you have an alarm....

I would not recommend a DIY, but look for a good shop....

 

would it be possible to walk in to a junkyard and take off used actuators off a similar car?

thanks
