[carguy6702 10+ year member]

what do i need? how do i do it? i knida have an idea but not sure how did you do it? what did you do?

 

[project f-150 10+ year member]

there are plenty of kits available that contain everything you need. I think the name of the company i used to use for windows was made by spal or something like that. and for doorlocks you can get actuators and switches just about anywhere

ok i'll look for the window kit. do the actuators need to be a certain psi and what kind of switchesyou talking about

 

[project f-150 10+ year member]

no the actuators are electric. you can pick em up from like a best buy or circuit city.

the switches i am refering to are if you want to have lock/unlock switches in the car. You will need these unless you are just wanting to get keyless entry.

this is an actuator. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=330-010.

now to install this you need to decide if you just want to operate it by switches, by keyless remote or both. and that willdetermine what else is needed.

thanx sorry for the misunderstanding i will use a swith

what kind of tools do i need?

 

[carguy6702 10+ year member]

i want keyless entry later on when i add an alarm system

 

[carguy6702 10+ year member]

ok so i get an actuator and a swith do i need realys or anything like that?

where do i get the power from

 

[project f-150 10+ year member]

yes you will need 2 relays. and as far as tools you just need some wire strippers, a drill to mount the actuator, and something like pliers to bend the rod it comes with the correct way. you will get power from either the battery or from the main ignition harness.

ok i know what i need but not how to do it.

where do i put the relays

 

[project f-150 10+ year member]

where do i put the relays

that depends on where you put the switches. because it will determine how many lines will need to be run in and out of the door. but most installs i out the relays under the dash cause there is also an alarm/keyless module going with them.
