Shaved door handle question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kballan · 11-22-2003, 02:34 AM

Hey guys. I need some help here. I bought a shaved door handle kit from AIM industries, and am wondering where to mount the solenoids to pull the handle/cable open. Also, which direction do I mount the solenoid brackets? Does it pull toward the front of the truck, or down? If any of you have pics of how they're mounted, please let me know. Thanks!

just put power to the solenoid and see which way it moves. a straight line is amost always best for the cable direction. I hooked mine up to the latch where the interior pull handle bar clips in.

I appreciate the replies. I don't think I was clear enough though. Sorry! What I need to know is which way the rod/cable pulls when you pull the handle (or push the button outside to open the door.) Does the rod pull toward the front of the truck?Which direction does the solenoid have to pull toward when activated? Thanks guys!
