That's correct!

The kits from LMC are real cheap kits. Their are a lot better and more dependable ones on the market. Usually the ones from LMC have crappy instructions to boot. You can spend a little more and get a much better product. Some of the stuff they sell is good but this is not one of them. Just my opinion

I bought mine from www.electric-life.com It was a 2 dr. set = #95110 NEW 2-DOOR MES CABLE OPERATED POWER DOOR LOCK KIT WITH 4-CHANNEL KEYLESS ENTRY. $163
I haven't installed them yet But at least that is one site to check. I also got the power window set at the same time. Howard

Well, I took a shot in the dark and figured if it was junk I could just learn from it. But, I think so far, with the cheap instructions it's not going too bad. It's good for me, as I've gotta kind of think for myself. Yes, I would love something to tell me step by step how to do it, as it would relieve stress, but now that I've got the wire loom and grommets in place it looks really good, and feels better knowing I did it on my own. I'll post some pics up of here soon! I will probably next time go with a better kit, or if this one doesn't boot up return it and try something else.

Here's what I did with the wires. Only bad thing is you cant operate the windows or locks with the door open. I got my locks from LMC and didn't have a problem with them.

So, it's been slow going as I'm not to familiar with working on cars, drilling holes, running wires and now hooking them up. I've got the actuators wired up, and ready to hook up the ground and power wire. Any opinions on where I can connect my 12v wire so that it's constantly supplied with power, also a good spot for a ground wire to connect to? Preferably one that's already got a screw to wedge it between? Thanks!
