remote power door locks

Just install the kit as supplied with the set screws. Mine works fine. No problems.

Speaking of which has anyone come across factory power door locks on a Pantera .. it was rumored that they did come with them in the later years .. never seen them though.

In the catalog--

The Red 1986 GTS that maximus was selling ahd them ... but when Ricky owned it we could never figure out how to use them ..there was no button in the interior ?? I have not checked 9138 but she does have some buttons I dont know whats they do?

i ended up attaching the rods together with some small cable clamps picked up at the local hardware store.

the cable clamps move the rods much closer together, with no binding.

Ron,

I suspect that is a European trait, until I came to the US I never encountered a car with power locks that had a button inside! It still never makes sense to me, why do you want to lock the car from the inside, then you can't get out?

with older style 'central locking' in the UK one used to unlock the driver door with the key and the 'central locking' unlocks all doors simultaneously. Subsequent versions went to a remote key fob with a button, hence the term 'remote central locking'. Usually a UK car will auto unlock when you close the door in the locked position to prevent inadvertently leaving your key in the ignition (key in ignition warning buzzers are another US only trait), but you can force a UK car to lock by holding the door handle up while closing the door.

" why do you want to lock the car from the inside, then you can't get out? Big Grin "

Drive thru Harlem and you will be locking those doors from the inside. Actually its a good idea with the button ... for many reasons, like if you have small children, to lock all the doors at once prior to leaving the car, or unlocking all the doors for a bunch of passengers upon arriving at the car.

Anyway I have to check out 9138 and see if it has this option .. I have never had the door panels off.

This is the system in my '86 5-S. When you turn the key to unlock the door, both door locks pop open. The reverse is true when locking. Same thing when you lock or unlock the door from the inside.

Does anyone know where to get replacement solenoids, or from which car they originally came? (Roland, might you know?)
