(* snip *) I was just going to mention something to that effect. I sort of have power locks in that my locks are controlled by the alarm. I have the solenoids in each door. Now it's just a matter of me getting around to installing some switches that will operate the doors (which, as you can probably tell, has not been a high priority of mine since I installed the solenoids back when I got the car in 1998....). Anyway, I don't think I've *EVER* used my outside door locks. I wonder if they work? :^\ The solenoids, at the time, were $30 (USD) each and I programmed second button on my alarm remote to lock and unlock the doors. It took me about an hour to do each door. I probably could have done it in less time but I was also installing the alarm system. I got the solenoids from a local stereo/alarm type shoppe. Since we're on the subject, has anyone added a power lock for the rear hatch? Easy? Hard? Robert K.
