Power Door Locks?

Euclid · Feb 19, 2008

My jeep has manual door locks and I'd really love to have power/remote door locks.

How much of a pain in the ass would it be to do this? I assume the stock wiring is all there, could I just switch out actuators and the alarm control box?

Or would it be better to go aftermarket?

Thanks!

The stock wiring is not in the doors. The mechanism probably has a tie in from the motor, probably via a bell crank, which is not in an unpowered door either.

The motor, rod and bell crank piece would need to be slavalged from a donor vehicle. The wiring would be straight forward and using a momentary contact DPDT toggle switch could be easily wired up.

I'd want the remote functionality. Sticking a key in the door sucksss

xjohnnyc, looks like a plan.

Yeah, I've been contemplating trying out that power lock kit with the hatch option. Can't beat the price.

oh, didn't realize it was that easy. Picked up a 4door set for $20 on eBay.
I figure I'll use one of the 2 spare actuators for the hatch.

Resurrecting this from the dead, but how did you guys like those kits? I ordered one and should be installing it next weekend

I'd also like to know how the kit was? Power locks would be the only option I'd like.
