How to Install A Power Lock (and Keyless Entry) On Your Van or Truck for $35. Tutorial

I made a step by step on installing a 4 channel remote power lock system on a Cargo Van as part of my camper van conversion. I believe I believe this installation can also be applied to most trucks and vans and some SUVs and cars.
Depends on your skillset and your setup, it may take you a few hours to a few days to complete this project.
This is my new van which is a 2004 Ford Econoline with a raised roof. The van is a base model and it did not come with the power locks and windows.

I would suggest an alarm which gives this option and the peace of mind, somewhat...good content.

Hey Bowties, thanks for watching my video. Alarm is a great suggestion. It was one of my first electric work/project on my van so I didn't think that far ahead. And I'm not even sure why I never even thought about installing an alarm on my van till now..

Thanks for the video, very detailed explanation on how to install power locks 👍🏽

[@smartvanlife1120]

I’m glad you found it helpful. You now have knowledge and power to add power locks to your own Van. Fly away little bird😝.

Are your power locks still working well? Do you think that it’s still possible to put a speaker in the back door with that actuator there?
