Another mod- cheap-easy-cool

I added power locks to my door last night. Super easy, cost less than $4.00 for some cable ties. I harvested the power lock soleniods from a old chevy van that I have.

Just drilled a couple holes to mount the soleniods, clamped the little round bar piece to the lock rod on the truck. I could have put a little spot weld there but Im out of gas mix. A couple shots of WD40 on the old hardware in the doors, hooked them up to a battery- and works perfect! I also harvested those springy-thingys that will allow the wires to pass through the door jambs and not get crunched. Gonna hook the lock soleniods to my alarm and to my neutral safty switch park and drive outputs. That way when I put the truck in drive the doors lock, put it park- the doors will unlock....And I can unlock my doors with the remotes..
