i already searched and didnt see anything official.

im looking to get power locks in my 92 S. i saw that there are "unversal" power lock kits but didnt know if they worked.

basically my question is has anyone converted a non power lock S to power locks? if i were to find a lude with power locks that was being parted out, what would i need to get from it and put it in? or has anyone bought one of those universal kits and put it in?

 

buy doors from an Si wire it up...

ok now i have that option (which idont want to shell out the cash for the doors or try to find them inmy color, black) is there a way to just take the stuff out of the doors and put them in mine, and if so what do i need?

also what about those universal kits? noone has tried them..?

 

You could buy some actuators off of ebay... And simply put them in and you have power door locks... Minus the ability to control them...

If you have an alarm you could wire them up to work with it... Then, you could realistically have power door locks controlled by the alarm... Which is just as good as an actual switch in my book...

I put power door locks into a friends 1992 S model for a grand total of $11... It took me almost 3 hours to do properly and the car had a Viper alarm already on it, but it currently works like a charm and has for over 2 years...

 

yeah i have a jdm door lol mine was damage so i bought one from ebay and it was off of a bb4 but ne ways it had all the guts for power locks. the easiest way i can think of other then replacing the whole door is to buy a si door and take it apart and then replace all the guts on yours that way you dont havta worry about the paint job.

 

bumping my question back up cause im actually getting the doors with the power locks soon. is there ANYTHING else that has to do with the power locks other than what's in/on the doors? i know theres supposed to be wiring to and from the fuse box and to the module and actuators but just want to make sure before i go ahead and do this.

i looked on my 1993 Honda Service Manual and it doesnt go into detail about the power locks and it looked like most of the guts were in the door so im just double checking myself if anyone has done this or knows what im talking about.

any help is appreciated!!

 

Yeah my 92 S has remote power door locks but no power lock switch on the inside. Whenever a friend gets into the car i have to unlock it by leaning over. Or turning of the car and hitting the switch on the key. WOW. Thought they all came like that...gotta keep those doors locked riding around in the mean streets of Dover, Delaware.

 

I did power windows/locks in my old '93 Si, this should be similar since I have do do it on my prelude also (its a Si but the passenger door was replaced with a non-power door ). I haven't looked in my prelude's door panels yet, but if its like the civic setup then the components to get it in are:

-both power door lock actuators
-the driver's door had a control box, looks like a big relay
-the switch itself.
-both door wiring harnesses (at the very least, you'll need them for the clips/pins), also (optional but helps a lot) pins that will fit in the inside-the-car-side of the door harness so you can run the wires cleaner (like oem).

You'll need a service manual for the wiring, to make it sound simple - you'll have to run the +/- from door to door so you can control both actuators, then setup the grounds and then a +12v to the relay-control box. If you use the door harnesses, it makes things a bit easier (and cleaner). If you get the pins for the interior-side, you can just figure out which wire is which on the door harness-side and then put the pin on the other connector and run the wires easier. On the inside, I used a "piggy-back" fuse holder, basically it clips into an existing fuse spot, allowing that fuse to be used and has a second spot for another fuse and the corresponding wire to run to your destination. I put that into a spot that had 12v all the time so the door locks would work like they normally would. It'll definitely take some time, but that way works in my old hatch and my friend's cx that I did (3+ years now). Should be pretty similar for the prelude.

 

nice

 

this is funny because i actaully went thru the trouble of disabling the power door locks in my car.. even when they were wired up i never used them.. i guess the only benifit is for an alarm , but i always manually lock my car.
