Here are some of the ways that you can unlock car doors:
With a key
By pressing the unlock button inside the car
By using the combination lock on the outside of the door
By pulling up the knob on the inside of the door
With a keyless-entry remote control
By a signal from a control center
In some cars that have power door locks, the lock/unlock switch actually sends power to the actuators that unlock the door. But in more complicated systems that have several ways to lock and unlock the doors, the body controller decides when to do the unlocking.
The body controller is a computer in your car. It takes care of a lot of the little things that make your car friendlier -- for instance, it makes sure the interior lights stay on until you start the car, and it beeps at you if you leave your headlights on or leave the keys in the ignition.
In the case of power door locks, the body controller monitors all of the possible sources of an "unlock" or "lock" signal. It monitors a door-mounted touchpad and unlocks the doors when the correct code is entered. It monitors a radio frequency and unlocks the doors when it receives the correct digital code from the radio transmitter in your key fob, and also monitors the switches inside the car. When it receives a signal from any of these sources, it provides power to the actuator that unlocks or locks the doors. - Jak na to + styl
Deeply appreciated. I’m restoring a Porsche 944. Found one master actuator, wiring of this color code, controller and driver’s side actuator missing. You taught me what to shop for and how to connect it. 👍
This video is so impressive! I learned a lot with this video when installed my remote central locking on my MX-5. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this lesson reaally helps a lot to me
Very helpful video mate. Big thanks to you
Impressive video . I learned lot! Thanks.
Great video!
nice central locks
Thank you Martin! Another great informational product video! Thank you!

Cheers. nice video.
Awesome explaining!!!!! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
Great video... can I have one master lock? and will it work if I want to install an alarm?
Hi, great video very detailed. I installed a central locl kit in my car and when I connected it with my alarm system as negative triger, when K switch on the alarm the lock does nothing and when I switch off the ala the doors will lock. Any idea what I mighg have done wrong? Thanks.
UPDATE: I now have reversed the two wires to connect to the alarm and the lock will only ulock as I deactivate the alarm, it will not lock when I activate the alarm.
thx the video...do you have a video to uninstall the auto- lock /alarmed...thx
Thanks
thanks
Nice video brother very nice thank you so much

Purchased and installed a Scytek alarm w/central locking (2-5 wire actuators and 2 -2 wire actuators). Worked great for 3 years then my driver side actuator went out. Could not find the exact brand/model but I found a nearly identical uxcell actuator. Did not have to drill new holes , just removed the bad one and put the new one in it’s exact place. Problem is when I plugged it in (5 wire color code exact: green to green, black to black etc..) the driver door is doing exactly opposite what the other three doors are doing. When it locks all three doors unlock and vice versa? Any advise? Please help!
Amazing Video in respect to its information, got a link to purchase this exact lot with its module

Nice vid, I currently have a simuliar aftermarket kit on a 3dr car. However it randomly locked me in. Im trying to find a way to unlock it as the keyfob or solanoids have stopped working, I didnt install this system but im stuck on how to open my car doors n fix or replace the solanoids. Any ideas? Would I be able to shock the system to unlock it? Thanks in advance
Do you know lock actuators that are higher power than the standard stuff (By power i meant push force, not voltage)? 2 wires specifically but i'll take 5 wires as long as i can use it with a 2 wire setup.
gud vid man. best i seen so far. my nissan mirca has central locking but not working when i take the central control module apple power the car unlocked. so i gess the key faulty so i bought a hawk 240 lite can you please help me set it up to my centreal locking i got alarm working/ but cant get my doors working/ tryed but still cant cant get it to work. thanks cheers
Hi, thanks for the reply, but when manual switch used, all motors work perfectly, no wurring sound of sluggish moved of the lock/unlock pins..Its only when you use key (& remote) to unlock the 2nd turn sometimes does not unlock the other doors, and the crazy behavior of auto locking all doors when engine starts.Could be bad contacts at key switch, or bad relay contacts...or do you still think the driver motor is the culprit....thanks
I have question for you I have central lock along side window rollup module so when I lock the central triggers window do they rollup now I want roll down using another rollup module to roll down is it possible keeping rollup modul
So pretty much this kit already comes with 2 main actuators or that part is an additional buy?
Question I have an 07 Chevy Aveo 5 every time I lock and unlock my car, the door actuators go crazy, locks and unlocks could a bad actuator cause this problem. Thanks
THANK you very much for such a good video.
Can anybody tell me what you call that black box in the video, Is that a relay?
I am facing a problem that my car central lock does not lock but it unlocks normaly.
Yes, that is the relay control module. You may want to check if your master door actuator travels fully up causing the slave motors not to unlock, or of course that relay could of died too..
hi can you connect that to the siren/light? when you press the lock/unlock button??
If i want to install a lock and unlock button/switch into an after market kit where would i splice into by the relay orby the lead actuator? Thank you
I have a five wire master with blue, green, white, brown and black wires. When I hook up just the blue and green it functions with fob. Where do the white, black and brown wires go? I would like it to command the slave actuators when triggered.
Where does the remote send signal to, to make the relay work? Does the relay pick up the remote signal?
Got an existing set up but want to up change to a new remote system as mine is so old and can't get them how do I connect the new one to the existing wires.
Hi, i have a Nissan Almera N15, it already has central locking but not remote central locking, i found the mass unlock and mass lock pins, so in reality all i would need to do is soldering white to lock, brown to unlock, red to constant 12v power, and black to ground?
Hello Lessco.On your central module from left to right on socket i see brown-white-brown-white.I understand that 2 wires( 1 brown and 1 white) are ground trigerred.But the other 2 wires(brown and white) where are connected?To white and brown master`s actuator?cand you explain also what each 5 wires actuator are use for?
Can you use a central locking actuator with just a battery and a switch? Do they work like power on: extended, power off: retracted? or do they require power each way?
I’m installing something similar in a classic vehicle. The problem I am having is that due to mounting location limitations for the actuator and the way my door latch works, once installed my remote button will operate opposite what it should. The lock button will cause the actuator to pull down on the latch locking mechanism, essentially the unlock position of the latch. If I press the unlock button on the remote it will push the actuator up and lock the latch. I want to reverse the operation of the actuator so that it does opposite of what it does now. I have tried reversing the green and blue wires but that does not work. Any help you could provide would be appreciated.
I have a 2003 basic Xrerra with a Viper 1000 and only have actuator in the front doors. Can you tell me how to install actuators in the rear doors and trunk?
Thank you.
hi how would you wire up so the indicators flash when you lock and unlock is it possible?
Is there any modules or relays that will allow a constant 12volt out and open and close from a 1 second 12 volt pulse signal from door lock wire? My civic has a pulse lock signal, 0 on meter then flashes 11volt real quick the back to 0. I'm wanting to add a led scanner to come on with my factory alarm, lock and shut off when unlocked, since I don't have a constant 12volt signal from switch or a negative switch it won't allow the relay to stay open to send power to light, is there a pulse relay that will open and close with just recieving a pulse
Great video. I made this one. Though, I noticed that the master door actuator doesn’t close or open same time with the rest of the actuator. In fact it doesn’t move at all when I use the remote, however when I open it and close it manually it works and the rest of the slave actuators also follow. Do you have any idea why?
I am having same problem. Did you sort out?
I would like to make an 8 actuator system. Will it work on one module?
Hi body! I bought new actuators with one master but I connected to the OEM module, (civic 97) they work normally but master doesn't works, original lock has 4 lines, black for ground, two ones for the unlock/lock and one left, I thought this is for the signal of the master one but I don't know how to connect it to the white or ground lines... so it didn't work, maybe you can help me! Thanks!
would it be possible to add a fifth actuator for a rear hatch? the rear hatch has a lock separate from the handle it works the same as the other doors it is not like a trunk lock.
I have the same set up with a UK kit from Rightclick. Two masters and two slaves. Now I have set this up with a 12v battery outside of the car to test before I install it. However when I power this kit up the the actuators just constantly click and pulse. However if I remove the brown and white cables from the masters the kit works fine apart from the fact I cannot lock all the doors buy pushing down on one of the master switches. It does say in the manual to make sure that the white and brown wires are not connected to the ground at the same time but I am not sure how this can be achieved. Can you please help? Cheers
ok I installed a kit in my car and the main 5 wire actuator is the driver side. When I actuate with remote they work perfect, but if I manually lock/unlock the driver side door the passenger door doesn't follow command like your video! Did I do something wrong?
what happen if u invert the lines of the master lock? i mean if u invert cables of the master lock if u push the unlock on the remote only the master locks and the others actuator unlock? hope u can understand what i mean, sorry for my english 😄
I'm looking to add power door locks with an alarm/find horn to an 08 Rav4 that has a basic key entry (base model). It has a factory key system that opens all doors on the second turn of the key in the drivers door.
What am I going to need to for a complete install including 4 doors plus tailgate ? I don't think there is a factory alarm since there are no fobs, also can the exciting actuators be wired into the system.
Question, I purchased this vehicle used, how would I find out if there was a fob associated with it ?
Hi, How do you wire them? In my kit (not Omega) I have a white, brown, black that don't go anywhere..where should I connect them to? I assume the red with a fuse goes to the battery. Thanks
Where i can get like this. I need one because my car has been broblom in drive door lock model
can you help me hook up a viper remote stater with door locks in a 2006 Chevy silverado ? I need to know what wires on the silverado to hook up the wires to. it is a viper 5101
what is the brand name of the central lock system that you've used in your video?
To Lessco Electronics,I have a Ford Courier 2.6 ltr 2005 petrol.my central locking is not working properly.I have changed the battery in the remote and the light is flashing.It wont unlock from out side the car with the remote.however when you do get in the car and start the car you can operate the central locking with the remote.Any chance you can help me?Jason
I have the Megbadyne ALA-DL1 Programmable Relay Pack w/ 5 door locking actuators, non of the actuators are the "master" actuator so I can't lock the car from inside once I unlock it with my aftermarket alarm system unless I arm the system from inside the car (kinda silly) my question is do you know how I can wire in a relay switch to lock the doors from inside the car?
In one set of lock door there's only 4pcs. But i want 5pcs to my avanza car can i add one on back door can be in one system
Hey man quick question how do the brain systems for power locks that have voltage output for window control connect I have looked everywhere. some brain systems have outputs that roll down/up windows with the remote
Ps thanks your videos have helped me a lot
Is there a model youre talking about specifically
hi
please can you help me I have got an ML270 I was driving in the highway one day an heard a load click when I stopped my car I discovered the central locking system will not respond to the remote I have changed the battery but that didn't help the remote has been tested its fine you can lock and unlock the car from inside but not with remote.
only the driver door opens when i press the unlock button on the remote or use the key to open the,however if i open all four doors plus the trunk and gas tank cover and then press the the lock button all 4 doors ,plus trunk will lock together but wont open,what should i do
I've got everything hooked up except the white and brown wire. I've hooked up to 85 and 86 and doesn't move door locks. It comes with an alarm system but it doesnt have wires to connect these two wires. Any idea?
I have a master lock actuator which has a 4 wire setup but my control unit has 5 wires - how would this work?
great video -- thanks. Question for you: could you adapt a keyless entry kit to control one simple circuit, such as the fuel pump? I am thinking of installing something like this as a theft deterrent on my motorcycle -- just use the remote to actuate the FI system. Would that work?? Thanks
Sure, your only limit is your imagination, thats a big reason I love this stuff
What do the white & brown wires do? Thanks
I have a 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix. The car does have power door locks and windows. Is there a kit that I can use to lock/unlock the car and possibly even open/close the windows like on newer cars? I am also planning on ditching the carburetor somewhere down the road and would like to add remote starting (if possible) after I install a fuel injection system. If yes.....where can I buy the necessary components?
Hi, great video. I'm installing an identical kit.
Do you wire the main 12V power wire (the one with the fuse) and ground wire directly to the battery? Or can you tap into another constant power supply from under the dash?
Go right under the dash for it
A question how can I do Power Doors Lock work with the transmission when it is in parking unlock and when you start it is locked as in the new cars
there are pulse generators inside the control unit apart from the relays
Just wanted to say thanks for the amazing videos, i have been out of the game for a while, used to do this for a living for some time, and now do little side jobs at home and all your videos have been great refreshers.. quick question , i will be working on a 07 toyota yaris that has no power locks or windows, and i am doing a remote start/alarm system on it, its a code alarm ca5663, would i need something like this to add power locks to all doors? i bought 4 separate actuators for the doors, can i still use those? also what would be the easiest way to wire them to the alarm if i do use the separate ones? sorry for some reason i have this feeling i need diodes or something for this method.
all you need is 2 relays to power the actuators
Thanks. I will look online so I can refresh my memory as to how to wire up the relays. You don't have a video or website to reference that do you? Sorry I don't have access to this information like I used to before at my old job. I'll try and look at the 12volt.com.
With a central locking already in but needs to be open with the key from the driver's door. Can I put in just one actuator to make it unlock the driver's door only and then boom it should use the original and open the rest
Does anyone know whether a 2015 or 2016 F150 has a signal anywhere that indicates whether the vehicle's alarm system is armed?
hi hello i just install a prestage alarm and i cant seem to get the central locking to work with the red and green wires direct to the master actuator what am i do wrong
I'm installing these on a 2 door pickup with manual door locks. Can I install a master on each door? That way the passenger can control the driver door too.
I doubt it, I never tried that though..
Is there any documentation on how many cycles an actuator like this is good for?
On average its 100k cycles
@@Lesscoelectronics -- Which would mean that in a typical scenario of you taking a trip to go to work or run an errand, it would last over 68 years (if you don't lock your car while driving). This is assuming a scenario where you go out to your car, press the unlock button (#1), drive to your destination, press the lock button (#2), spend time at work / go into the store, return to car and press unlock button (#3), drive home, get out of vehicle, press lock button (#4).
If you lock your vehicle while you are driving, then the number of activations of the lock probably doubles...
-- Go out to car, press unlock button (#1) to get into car.
-- Start driving, press lock button (#2)
-- Arrive at destination, press unlock button (#3) to get out of car
-- Lock car (#4) after getting out of car while you are at work / in store
-- Come back to car, unlock it (#5) to get into car
-- Start driving, press lock button (#6)
-- Arrive back home, press unlock button (#7) to get out of vehicle
-- Press lock button (#8) so that car is secure at your home
That brings it down to 34 years... Maybe half that again to take into account those trips where you stop to get gas or run multiple errands on a single trip.
Just kind of reinforces how a simple system can be pretty reliable. I've never had a car's power door lock system quit working . The same cannot be said for the power windows or powered radio antenna.
I am not able to lock or unlock my doors with switch or remote, when I do I here a click under the dash. What do you think the problem is...
Hi,I have got a fiat linea 2010 model.The car was involved in an accident,so it has been standing for more than 8 months.Now,it is moving but the problem is the central locking system is not working properly.It,s enither it locks one door or none
What does the brown and white wire connect to??
Great video,I have a central door lock system I tried installing in my 2013 Jeep Wrangler. I installed it per directions. The problem I'm having is when I hit unlock on the key fob the actuators go unlock to lock. If I hit lock on the fob nothing happens. I have 1 5 wire and 2 2 wire. There is 2 extra brown and white wires that they say go to alarm. I do not have an alarm so do those wires not get connected?Thanks for the help
sounds like the driver door/master motor is in too tight, loosen the linkage and it should act more normal.
quick question; will this kit work with an aftermarket alarm system? i have an old toyota which i want to install power door locks alongside with an alarm system. thanks in advance.
Yes sir, Like a champ
How do you hook this up for the park lights to flash when lock or unlock to aftermarket 4105 viper
You will need to connect the white output to the 12V trigger wire in the vehicle
Questions please
"Brown wire from ACTUATOR LOCK, where/which wire connected to ?? Please
Do you have a video on adding a simple switch to a two door lock system that is used with an alarm. Unfortunately there is no switch on the car and I want to add a SPDT momentary switch so I can lock and unlock the doors manually. Of course I want it to work only when the key is in.
easist way is get a 2 way rocker switch like the ones well for 7.00 that throw ground when pressed up or down, connect that to the alarms -negative outputs
Greetings,just like to ask...my main actuator is not working ,when I press lock from the remote all actuators locks except the main one,when I press unlock nothing happens,what's wrong with it? Thanks :)
I need help I can't get my prestige asp997e alarm to unlock and lock door s on my 1997 suburban with rear barn doors so for now I just hooked my aviral 3100 to the door lock wires to unlock and lock doors separate remote please help no video on 1997suburban with I think is 5 wire positive or negative door locks
I need a diagram easy to understand, I'm trying to install 2 door actuators on my ranger but besides the red, black and the blinking lights wires I haven't a clue about the rest. My actuators are both two wire only. Solenoids explained please!..."NO-NC-COM"? AAAHHH!!!
I have a 69 lincoln with vacuum locks , can i add an alarm with keyless entry and electric actuators
im looking for tutorial on mechanical part not the wiring, well anyway nice vids maybe some people looking for this
so where am i suppose to wired the white and brown wire??
nice video. can this be wired to automatically lock the doors when the car is put in gear and automatically unlock doors when car is put in park?
youll need an alarm pr keyless entry with that programable feature to do that, its a common programmable feature
when you install this kit do you have to put the power wire directly to the battery?
no, you can grab it anywhere it's convenient. It's not a big amperage draw.
What are the motor specifications?????
will it still work if there's no remote controller? i just got a 5 door central lock system to be installed but it doesnt have a remote. any suggestion?
+Russel Helendro Daoang it'll work all the doors by moving the driver door up and down by hand but thats about it without remotes.
+Russel Helendro Daoang get a keyless system like this one we have and tie it into the master (driver door) motors wiring: www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-Proline-REC-43T-3-Channel-Rec-w-Transmitters-REC-43T-/140433999764?hash=item20b284c794
Can I just buy a remote for the lock kit that I got off eBay

Eeco car 5 door Control door lock sestem hea or price
I have an issue with one of these. All was working but now the drivers side does not control the other doors. I also note only the lock works on drivers door using key fob and I notice resistance when using manual switch on unlock. I also hear a click from the box on lock but not unlock on drivers side. I have a 5 wire for both front doors and the passenger controls all doors fine including unlock and lock on drivers door. I do note the “pro” install has all 5 wires on both doors connected and it is going to an alarm, which I thought meant 3 of the wires were not used (instructions say they are for controlled switching without an alarm so I don’t know).
I have researched this for hours tonight and you seem to be the only person who understands all the parts and how they function. So I am hoping you have some ideas for me that do not require getting under my dash and trying to follow this guys wiring.
I appreciate your help and time. I have no idea how to see a response but I will come back here and look for a response. Thanks.
the master (driver) side actuator isnt fully traveling, or the brown or white leads are loose or disconnected to power the slave motors.
Hi, thanks for the great info here. I have a question. Is it possible to add a 5th actuator as a slave? so it would be 2 masters and 3 slaves. or is a second relay necessary for that type of setup? thanks
yes, just tap into any of the existing slave motors and it'll be just fine.
Could you add a diagram of how to add an internal (in vehicle) rocker switch to activate all actuators. unlock/lock button
Brad Keys pretty sure a switch connects to white and brown
I have a problem with my accent 2012 with the master actuator, the place where you hang it by the screws is broken, the same hole i mean, which is plastic but anyway is there a way to fix that or should i get a new one and how to restore its balance to be able to lock all the doors using the remote. thank you.
+Ahmad Alghamdi It'll nevere be right until you replace the motor. It'll always loosen up
hi if u were to cut /disconect one of the locking system wood the other 3 still work help plz
+Grant Smith you can cut out any of the slave motors, but NEVER the driver door's master motor.
if i need to add one of this on my central locking (adding it to existing system) can i connect one of this motors only with power?
Man I have a big problem
In my car only master actuator is working and all 3 slave actuators are not working . Please help me
sir how can i buy this iteam?
Does it draw current from battery when it is sitting (car locked) or only when you push button to lock/unlock..
It will only draw current when operating
Those 2 wires... Brown and white what are they for and where do I connect them in the car?
those are for adding slave motors
