Power Door Locks

[LUCKY_LARUE60]

This is not an IDI but maybe I can get some help here as not many people are on the powerstroke board.

Here is the problem, my truck was a bank repo when I bought it. I guess when it was repoed they broke the door lock on the drivers side to get in and destroyed the lock and the rods inside. I was using the passenger side to get in after locking my doors, now the passenger lock will not unlock with the key so I can't unlock my doors from outside.

I have tried to get new rods at the stealership and they want BIG bucks for them, and I have to buy everything. I have power locks so I got to thinking what if I put remote or key-less door locks on that way I can just push the fob and unlock the locks. I have found many to convert manual locks to power but I already have the activators that push the rods so I don't want to replace them as they work fine.

How would I wire up the remote to my existing system to the new system?

Here is a digram of the system any ideas, I would like to wire this to my system.

Go to a junk yard and get some door guts for about 1/10 of what ford wants

The junk yards around here, if the have any Super Duty's, don't want to part out a door, they want to sell the whole door.

Even rotted out ones that are only good for scrap? Im sure OH has em lined up just like PA does

a totalled super duty in a junk yard is hard to come by around this side of the state, let alone Ohio.

Nick, That would be great, if you can find the rod and the cylinder I sure could use all. My cylinder on drivers door was destroyed and would be great if both doors would be the same. My tailgate lock don't work either BUT I don't care.

BTW
Hows the wife and baby, bet the baby has grown a bunch.

 

[Double-S-Diesel]

witch side do ya need.
wife and baby are good, shes 5 alraedy and in kindergarden.

[LUCKY_LARUE60]

Nick, I need the rods for the drivers side but I could use both cylinders so both doors are the same.

Has it been that long WOW, baby is 5 now.

Yep still working pipeline but laid off right now, last year I worked in Ky, Ala and Wy.

 

[Double-S-Diesel]

Jim ole buddy! Man would be great if you could make the jog up the road a bit to come to the event listed in my sig. Plus by the sounds of it Nick could bring the parts for your door locks....

Jim,
I would hate to have to rely on a watch battery and weak RF to get in my truck! I think I'd have to fix those keylocks.

You would be suprised by the # of guys removing the locks all together to prevent theft.
SDs are really easy to break into
