remote central locking

Post by **45punkbus** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 9:04 pm

Hey, i was after fitting central locking to my 45 series troopy and was wondering if most central locking kits would work?
thanks for any help

Post by **mickyd555** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 9:18 pm

i bought the cheap arse one from brisbane car sound, and it was a piece of piss to fit and worked well untill one of the moters shit itself, but a whole new kit was only about $40, so i bought that............ but i dunno about the back door on a troopy, depends how the lock works i supose..

i was happy with it thats for sure

yeah so it will work remote and all, i saw remote kits for 80 or so the other day at hi fi supermarket, was wondering if that would fit, for the back door i know for a fact wouldnt work, its just a little cog thingo that locks the back, but i only wanted fronts,
cheers thanks for the help.

i bought central locking kit, but can not seem to get it to work, i think the indervidual door locks do not seem to be strong enough to move the cars original door locks, any ideas?

is your locking kit working yet?

Post by **mickyd555** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 9:25 pm

dude, if its a kit like the one i had, you have to make sure that the moter is parralell with the OE locking mechinism...i had to play around with it for a bit b4 i got it right.........

i had no door skins for about 3 weeks....... :armsup:

yeah if u have not read my other posts, i could not get my window winder off so mounting the motor was kinda tricky, i gave up till i can get the window winder off, maybe monday,
thanks for ur help again.

Post by **mickyd555** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 10:10 pm

window winders are easy, theres a little clip on them, sorta like a circlip style thing, i just ese a small arse screwdriver to push it parralell with the door skin, then the winder comes off.

sorry if i just gave you info you already know, but i was here so i thoguht i mightaswell just tell ya how to anyway...........good luck

hey thanks for the window winder clip thingo i just found out like a min b4 you told me, thanks anyway, i was told to pry it off by my dad, that didnt work...
thanks again

Post by **mickyd555** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 10:19 pm

quik update to that, if they have been put on right, you should be able to prise it off from the more open side of the winder ( the side under the actual crank part......) if there back to front, then its gonne be real farken hard......youll see what i mean when you get it off. and make sure you put them back the right way, cause your gonna be the next one that has to take them off again...................
:armsup:

prying them off, did not work, we bend a screw driver, but ill look for the clip, i had a quick look the other day for one, but i am impatient u see,

. ill try it out monday and see how it all pans out, cheers

you can by the proper thing to get them of from the srare parts shop or get a bit of flat steel about 40 mm wide and cut a u piece out of it then just push it so the two side pieces go around the winder and push both sides of the clip at once hope this helps :idea:

Post by **mickyd555** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 11:06 am

a tool to remove them...... :cool:

what will they think of next......thats unreal. im gonna buy one of them, thanks for that bugger man :twisted:

Post by **Ice** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 2:28 pm

in the past ive done the screwdriver thing

then used a proper tool

but what really works the best out of all of them ive found is an old rag lol

you just wedge the edge of it in and saw it back and forth till it picks up the clip... its so easy

sometimes though there will be a washer type thing in there.. depending on how it was put together you might need to put the rag on one or the other side of it

using the proper tool somtimes damages door trims...

got all motivated and decided to finish doing the central locking in my 70 series

anther tip... watch out for when the spring clip comes off the window winder... they generally fly anywhere and can be a PITA to find

yeah cheers guys. tomz will be the ultimate test to see if ur info helps, but im sure it will, i have worked the past two days and couldn't be botherd trying them out when i got home.
these tools sound interesting, but ill try everything else out b4 i go all ritzy and spend up all my hard earned cash,
anyway thanks again fella's

Post by **Ice** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 7:41 pm

try the rag you might be suprised how easy it is

if it doesn't work one way do it from 180 on the other side

or if that washer thing is there on the other side of it etc

hey i got the winder off, geez face washers are great, thanks heaps, now i fixed my window and think i have figured this central locking crud out,
hey mickyd555, where abouts did u mount ur motor for the central locking? as in where in the door?
thanks

Post by **mickyd555** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 8:33 pm

dude, mine went in a banger 2WD b4 i relised what a 4b could do...
but i used heaps of packers and stuff to get the moter to run parralell with the rod that actuated the lockin mechanism........

what type of lock mech is in your rig, do you have the ones inthe same setup as the internal door handle or is it on top of the door for the world to see if you forgot to lock it??

Post by **45punkbus** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 10:02 pm

its the locking mech that the world can not see, therefor the ones where the handle and lock are in one, but i think we have it sorted just could not be botherd running the cables...

Post by **mickyd555** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 10:18 pm

yeh, if you push the locking mechanism and it doesnt disturb the moter too much, then it should be preety ok......., did you manage to work out a way to be able to mount it in the rear door. or is it a completly different lock...........

glad to be of help too........

does your window wind down past the lock motor?

Post by **45punkbus** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 8:04 am

for the back door, it is a different method all together, not even like the locks u can see, but i have figured away but i will not be able to hide the motor so ill have to either mount it to the door so u can see it or just not have it for the back, ill play around with it and see how it all goes,
adam (bad_r) were you asking me if my window goes down, answer to that is yes, plus i fixed the other problem i had when i did that bolt i didnt know what it did, so now my window goes down straight and goes up straight, YAY no more ratle in my door.

cheers,

Post by **45punkbus** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 9:45 pm

HEY i got it to work, so stoked, not on the back but that is my security door for if it messes up i can still get in, thanks to all the people who helped me with it cheers,
