Any ideas? I dont really want to leave wires just hanging between the door and bodywork incase they get trapped or crushed between the two.

Cheers


Hi,

Firstly, unplug it, then twist the clip to take it off.
The plug and the clip is simply glued on with weak epoxy, use a sharp knife to cut the contact point.
Then reconnect plug.
Now wires can pass through :D

Parts needed:

- 2 x front doors motor + lock + latch (in one piece)

Hmm... that's it!
Of course you'd need some wires, and preferably you'd have a fusebox installed.

Err, you can't - not easily. You need the right latches with the c/l connecting rods.

Superseded, overcome, bettered, rendered useless :cry: And I thought this thread immortalised me on FT.com. Little did I know it was just a worthless string of text, merely to be deleted by a power-happy gay-named Channel 4 reality TV presenter :cry: Al, you suck willies. I thank you.

You need a alarm to the car and then connect up the central locking to the remote function on the alarm. :)

got a pair of central lock

one of them is of a fiesta mk3 and the otherone is probably from a fiesta mk4. every thing is the same apart from the inside handle which i can use the old one.

when it comes to the wires i found a small problem

the mk4 lock:
white purple
yellow black
black
red black

mk3 lock
white brown
yellow brown
brown
red yellow

i figured out that the white purple must go with the white brown
yellow black with yellow brown

now ...

black with brown (PROBABLY)
red black with red yellow.

am i right regarding when connecting the wires together ?

and thich one is the earth and live ?

black with brown (PROBABLY)
red black with red yellow.
