Ionstorm66 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) So I figured it would be easy to add remote locking to my Loyale, seeing as it already has central locking. At first I though I would just pull an actuator from another car and install it in the drivers door. Sadly you would need one from a LHD car, because the arms are riveted to the actuators. Oddly they are just clipped to the drivers door switch. So I got a pair of $10 lock actuators off Amazon and made a simple bracket out of the metal that came with the actuators. I then added a cheapo waterproof connector incase I needed to ever replace it. The hardest part was fishing the new wires though the door grommet. I gave up and will pull it though this weekend when I have the fender off to clean some rust. Edited October 1, 2020 by Ionstorm66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Can you pry the grommet out, fish the wire, then reinstall the grommet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really isnt enough room. Even tried to pull half of it into the door, still couldn't get it. Also sadly those cheesy brackets that came with the lock lasted all of a day. I think i was a little to narrow and the window track was flexing the brackets when it went all the way down. I ended up remaking it our of some 1/8 aluminum. Just have to leave enough room for the window to come down between them. Seems to be working fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
