central locking wiring

[mazza]

alright, i pinched the central locking motors out of an sr the other day but the wiring diagram in ye ol' haynes manual is a bit complex for my liking

theres brown, brown/white, and brown/red on the drivers side motor and black/red and black/green on the passenger motor. I read in the posts somewhere that you can wire them straight to each other but what wires to where :?

i may be wrong (cos i bought my central locking off the internet), but i think that the central locking motors should be wired to a control unit thing. Then the control unit only has a couple of wires (i think) to connect to the battery.
p.s. wuz only ?25 for my 2 door central locking kit an it's pretty cool.

drivers side is simply a switch - the passenger side is a solenoid thats activated by the drivers key. They run through a relay (or is that the windows... :? ) - theyre on the same loom usually...

Anyway - brown's earth - I'll try and get the rest when i get home - have haynes manual - can give you proper loactions etc then - sure red's live

The blue red/yellow red etc are the ones that go to the switch/solenoid.

As above

Drivers side is just a switch and pasengers is a solenoid. The control unit is mounted to the passengers under-dash shelf. Wire it up as the manual says, you needed to take the conectors from the donor car as well.
