Thanks for solving the brown and white wire mystery. You saved my butt reminding me about the window clearance too. Love your succinct style, smart people like you make my life easier..
You never let me down. I just bought a van and I've been stressing out about how I'm going to afford to put power locks on it...ALAS MIKE SAVES THE DAY.
Brought the same kit to install it on my dodge omni. Literally took me two days straight to install all four keyless locks on my doors. Omg crazy amount of work and i had to stop by an auto store to pick up more wires, cause the ones that came with the kit didn't reach all 4 of where the electric locks were mounted at. But I'm happy with the results after. At the end of the day i spent like $80 with the whole installation. Still cheaper then paying someone to do it. 😉
I installed this same kit about 8 months ago on my Jeep with no issues so far Didn’t have the most confidence in this either so I bought another kit to have replacement parts for if and when things start break
I installed similar kit to my first car, like 15 years ago.. brougth back memories :D I remember it was a struggle to bend the arms the eay it locks and unlocks.
Good job! Back in the mid 80's I installed car stereo and other car electronics. I can't begin to tell you haw many of these I installed. Its hard to beleive they still make vehicles that don't have that already installed.
So I figured out how to wire the six prong switch. Connect the brown and white wire to the top and bottom terminal on one side of the switch then a ground wire to the center terminal on the same side of the switch. This will get the switch to unlock and lock the door at the push of a button
Just bought that kid including the power windows of the same kit, what a god damn nightmare. I spent 4 hours on it and managed to pull all my wires and loosely get my stuff where I wanted it to be. I got fed up with it cause its dark now so I stuffed all the wires into the door, stuck the panel back on and left them there till maybe tomorrow or the next day when I jump back in again. I came to your video to see how you rigged it up to your power, and I see you went directly to battery. My wiring diagram was telling me to go to a 10 fuse, but after all my wire pulling I realized my fuse box on this particular truck is located under the dash (New truck never looked before), and not where I assumed it was, behind the panel under the dash, thats when I gave up to try another day. Im glad I came across your video cause now I'm just going to pull the one live wire through the firewall and straight to the battery and I noticed you wired the blue/brown wire to a switch. My kit (Same as yours) said to wire to the alarm, but if it works on a button I'm going to do the same thing and install a button somewhere. Hopefully you did power windows of the same kit, gonna check your vids out now
Thank you your video is one of very few online that goes into detail for installing this saved me 200 dollars in the usa 50 in mexico but I learned how to do it now.
Such a bubbly personality! Thank you so much for the insight! The Video cuts were pretty funny too. I would have liked to have seen a little more of the handiwork without so many video cuts though
I have a 05 frontier SE and I know you mentioned you connected the parking light to blink when locked. Will you show that video? I cant find my parking light and just wanted to see what you did. Thanks!
I had no idea this was even possible. I have been toting my daughter around in my single cab, all manual (transmission, locks, and windows) truck for 2 years. These days I just get in the driver seat and put her in the car seat from inside the cab. The passenger door does not have a key hole to unlock from the outside. Too bad our next kiddo is on the way and I have to get another vehicle to tote both kiddos and myself or I would totally do this!
You showed that you can lock and unlock all 4 doors from the switch, key fob and drivers door lock pull, but will they all do the same as the drivers door pull??
Excellent video dude. Just one question, how did you install the lock/unlock switch ? I somehow bought exactly the same set up and can’t figure out how to work the switch.
Great video. How did you wire the inside switch to the control box? I just installed this same brand but can't figure out the wiring for the manual switch. TiA
i have Honda Civic 1998 model (sedan) VTI engine. in my car have power windows. i want install door lock central system. I don't have information" either i use actuator motor or without actuator" . i am actually confuse.kindly guide me.
I have a 04 single cab base model with manual door lock and also manual windows but everything else it’s automatic. I been trying to get some one to install a remote start system prestige model aps997z but it seens like every place I go they make look like its not easy to install so labor does come cheap and I have already installed the universal door lock actuators on both doors and tested.are you familiar with any of this systems ? Does it really require a lot of components to make the system work ?
Did you research how to install one of these kits on your particular truck model before you started? Had you had experience doing this before? Great job! - Joseph
I've installed aftermarket system also. How do I get the horn to toot and lights to flash.? My module has the wires but can't figure how to wire them. Any tips?
I know it’s been awhile since you posted this but, much like other comments, I would like to know how you wired the switch. I just installed this on my Tacoma but when I probe the white and brown wires to ground I only get a response to the position the actuators are already in. If the doors are locked and I probe the white wire I hear a click but the doors remain locked. Then I switch to the brown wire and nothing. This video got me through a lot of issues and for that I give it 5 stars but I sure could use some help on the switch thing.
No I never got it to work. After having the locks installed for a week or two I realized the switch is completely unnecessary and never messed with it again. Over 2 years in and the system still works great though.
best video i have watched, and the only one that shows the manual switch installed and working, but how do you wire it in as both wires are negative and i cant get my head around it. thanks
i may be answering my own question here, but im guessing you buy a 6 prong switch and wire the 2 negative wires to the negative prongs and wire the +/- to either the battery or a constant live fuse, and negative to either the battery or a bolt on the chassis. ?
I NEED HELP POWERING IT!! So I installed this kit but when I go to connect the power wire to the battery, the locks go crazy unlocking and locking non stop til I disconnect the power wire. What could it be ? I have the ground connected to a dash existing ground.
My 04 tj works like I expected. One thing I noticed is if I use the manual lock button on the inside drivers door unlocks both doors but only locks the drivers door. Is that normal
I bought a keyless entry kit, I thought the brown wire was for horn & the white wire was for lights? Had an estimate to install, guy said $600 on. My s10
Yeah I'm a big fan of the dei brand (viper) they're not much more then generics but if they are semieasy to get too go cheaper. And try to get the motion in a straight line. Saves lots of wear and tear
Great video! Any word on how it's holding up 2 years later? My girls car has manual everything except transmission and I wanna do something nice for her.
Thanks for solving the brown and white wire mystery. You saved my butt reminding me about the window clearance too. Love your succinct style, smart people like you make my life easier..

+Gantra haha that's awesome! Good luck!
I remember my first car with power locks. Felt like a huge upgrade!
Brought the same kit to install it on my dodge omni. Literally took me two days straight to install all four keyless locks on my doors.

Great Job!!!! So great to see you work through the process. Also, the talking silhouette at 4:31 is fun new artistic touch.
Good job! Back in the mid 80's I installed car stereo and other car electronics. I can't begin to tell you haw many of these I installed. Its hard to beleive they still make vehicles that don't have that already installed.
i did the same on a chevy colorado work truck model. took a few hours, but well worth it.
keyless entry is so nice to have, especially in bad weather.
+C.D.K. It makes such a big difference!
So I figured out how to wire the six prong switch. Connect the brown and white wire to the top and bottom terminal on one side of the switch then a ground wire to the center terminal on the same side of the switch. This will get the switch to unlock and lock the door at the push of a button
I belive brown is ground?
My diagram says 2 wire
Just bought that kid including the power windows of the same kit, what a god damn nightmare. I spent 4 hours on it and managed to pull all my wires and loosely get my stuff where I wanted it to be.

Had no idea they made this type of kit. Thanks for the video.
+SyberPrepper I was really impressed, it's worked perfect so far!
I'm really surprised at how cheap that kit was.... hope it holds up over time! Let us know if you have issues later!
Instead of hooking up the park lights like the manual said I tapped in to the headlight wire and that worked too.
glad I'm not the only who screws something up and has to cut or redo it..!!!..nice job
+steve schmucker haha it happens all the time 😁
How do you setup the parking lights I will appreciate your help got everything ready except for the lights and the horn
Super easy to install and they work spot on but what I'm wondering can you add additional remotes
Super cool and helpful video. Thanks Mike.
i did this on a base model Titan and added power windows also.. lots of work but nice when they are done.
TENGO EXACTAMENTE LA MISMA CAMIONETA ...HOY RECIBI LOS POWER LOCKS Y LOS VOY A INSTALAR GUIANDOME EN TU VIDEO .....GRACIAS
I did not know this was available - interesting.
Cheers, Patrick
I remember when I used to drive head first into projects like that... not anymore. lol
$25 bucks says this hits 100k views because you're the best and hi.
+CheapAssReviews haha thanks!
Heres your 25$ 💰
Pay up
Ambiguous project? I think you mean ambitious. 😃
How did you wire that switch!!? That is so cool I've never seen that before
Can you share anymore on how you wired up the switch?
I am curious too. I am going to add a switch too
Great vid tutorial. Are they holding up?
This is awesome!
Thanks a lot for this Mike! I've been looking a few of these kits on amazon. I think I'll pick this one up now. :)
Awesome, let me know how it goes!
It worked out great! Everything is running just fine. Thanks again.
I have a 05 frontier SE and I know you mentioned you connected the parking light to blink when locked. Will you show that video? I cant find my parking light and just wanted to see what you did. Thanks!
How did you add the switch to lock/unlock the doors without having to use the key fob every-time?
I had no idea this was even possible. I have been toting my daughter around in my single cab, all manual (transmission, locks, and windows) truck for 2 years. These days I just get in the driver seat and put her in the car seat from inside the cab. The passenger door does not have a key hole to unlock from the outside. Too bad our next kiddo is on the way and I have to get another vehicle to tote both kiddos and myself or I would totally do this!
6 years later how did the locks hold up?
THXS MAN BUT You did not explain How to you hookup the switch ?
What type of switch did you use for central open and close?
And how did you wire it so it opens with the door lock lever?
Thanks!
So I’d like to know how far does the transmitter work from ? 10 ft 5ft? Nice vid well done btw thanks
Also door actuators break easier when they arent unlocking and locking in a straight line
Great nice but , Hey can do a video of how you wired the parking lights please
You showed that you can lock and unlock all 4 doors from the switch, key fob and drivers door lock pull, but will they all do the same as the drivers door pull??
Is there anywhere else I can wire up the positive wire instead to the battery
Very cool! I'd be hitting that unlock switch with my leg all the time though haha
when you tested the 2 wires to unlock and lock with your switch, did you just short out the white and brown wires to lock and again to unlock?
Excellent video dude. Just one question, how did you install the lock/unlock switch ? I somehow bought exactly the same set up and can’t figure out how to work the switch.
Wondering this also. Would assume a 2 terminal switch would wire right up to the kit, did you have to buy a plug to plug into the switch? Thanks
excellent. Installed mine last week and still work fine
3:52 main 12v lead direct to battery.
How long did they last. I got one and it lasted 6 months. Debating on whether it was just bad luck or thats the life of them
Im proud of you, i will try it next week
I saw the link for the switch..Thanks Which prongs do you use to hook up the switch?
What wires did you hook up to the parking lights? Is it the brown and white wire??
It should show on the diagram that comes with the kit. I got the same one and the parking lights should be two purples coming out of the electric box
Great video. How did you wire the inside switch to the control box? I just installed this same brand but can't figure out the wiring for the manual switch. TiA
you didn't really show much but I want to know how you put that switch
Probably saved yourself $500.
Need to stall one too
I think I could play with it during 20 minutes at least 😁
I got the same kit and I like it
if this kit for whatever reason fails can you still use your key to open the door?
Can you program a different key fob to this
I'd like to know what model year your Dodge is?
Did you add power windows and if you did how
Great 👍job by the way, could you give a little more install info for the switch.
Awsome job bro. Kudos
can you tell me how you connect the brown and white to switch and hot to connect also the wire to make a light when you lock and unlock please
i have Honda Civic 1998 model (sedan) VTI engine. in my car have power windows. i want install door lock central system. I don't have information" either i use actuator motor or without actuator" . i am actually confuse.kindly guide me.
I have a 04 single cab base model with manual door lock and also manual windows but everything else it’s automatic.

Does it really require a lot of components to make the system work ?
Did you hook up the ground wire to the battery or ground spot in the cabin?
I was wondering if you can just switch the whole door out to have auto locks and windows...
Did you research how to install one of these kits on your particular truck model before you started? Had you had experience doing this before? Great job! - Joseph
+One Big Happy Nope. I went into this blind. I have installed several car stereos though so I'm familiar removing the door panels and dash.
Anyone with a little general knowledge can do this it’s not bad at all. Good job!! 👌🏼 I have the same kit 😎
I've installed aftermarket system also. How do I get the horn to toot and lights to flash.? My module has the wires but can't figure how to wire them. Any tips?
Thank you for uploading this, just want to know how to do the wiring of the switch? Which pin should be connected?
It depends on your car and if the locks "Push" or "Pull." I hooked mine up backwards initially then just switched them.
Next, should be a switch that that unlocks when you push it into park.
Still holdin up?
I know it’s been awhile since you posted this but, much like other comments, I would like to know how you wired the switch. I just installed this on my Tacoma but when I probe the white and brown wires to ground I only get a response to the position the actuators are already in.

Hey man did you ever figure out the switch issue? Wondering the same
No I never got it to work. After having the locks installed for a week or two I realized the switch is completely unnecessary and never messed with it again. Over 2 years in and the system still works great though.
I lock and unlock front door but other door will not ... so what i do ???? which wire is responsible for that ??? please guide me ...
What are the basic tools you'll need for this project?
Very good effort,
best video i have watched, and the only one that shows the manual switch installed and working, but how do you wire it in as both wires are negative and i cant get my head around it. thanks
i may be answering my own question here, but im guessing you buy a 6 prong switch and wire the 2 negative wires to the negative prongs and wire the +/- to either the battery or a constant live fuse, and negative to either the battery or a bolt on the chassis. ?
@@veedubgamer5177 did you ever figure it out
Would other similar units like this unlock each other?
what amp switch did you put in for the power door locks?
I NEED HELP POWERING IT!! So I installed this kit but when I go to connect the power wire to the battery, the locks go crazy unlocking and locking non stop til I disconnect the power wire. What could it be ? I have the ground connected to a dash existing ground.
You have one of the wires backwards
How did you get the wires through the rubber grommets through the doors?
Hy there
Could you please sir tell how you hooked it to the park light
Please🙂
My 04 tj works like I expected. One thing I noticed is if I use the manual lock button on the inside drivers door unlocks both doors but only locks the drivers door. Is that normal
How are they holding up now?
Mike is the most "ambiguous" man on TH-cam!
Just bought the kit how'd you connect the lights to flash?
What's the kit called?
I bought a keyless entry kit, I thought the brown wire was for horn & the white wire was for lights? Had an estimate to install, guy said $600 on. My s10
Does such kits actually last? I want to install one.. I've been thinking whether to go to the dealer or install such kits
Yeah I'm a big fan of the dei brand (viper) they're not much more then generics but if they are semieasy to get too go cheaper. And try to get the motion in a straight line. Saves lots of wear and tear
how do you connect the last free white and brown wires?
How do you install the switch
Great video! Any word on how it's holding up 2 years later? My girls car has manual everything except transmission and I wanna do something nice for her.
Awesome video. Thank you so much man
On the white and brown wire you just connected to ground correct mins not working for some reason
next project! nice video whoooo :D
how long did this particular take to do? at least the installment to where you could use the key fob
*ambitious
+brian faini check the video again ;)
+Mike and Lauren Yeah, should be a much more ambitious project, not ambiguous. I agree with brian faini.
That footnote went by so fast. 0:16
B. Winky Ah! Did not see it, even when expecting one, till you pointed it out. Nearly subliminal, like he didn't want to admit his mistake. Haha!
If i used this kit and bought door panels that had the auto locks and widow switches in it how much of a mess would that be to wire up.
How did you hook up to the parking lights?
how did you add the switch??
