Adding pwr pass. lock to S model? - Honda Prelude Forum

red92s · 03-19-2002, 09:28 PM

The lack of having pwr door locks is really starting to piss me off. Does anyone know if the door wiring harness in the S models has all the necessary wiring for the power door locks? Could I just get the actuator assembly and switches from a wrecked Si or VTEC and swap them in without to much hassel? When I bought the car, the previous owner already had a power drivers lock put in (aftermarket) with keyless entry. . .so my key fob remote only opens the drivers side door! Grrrrr. I know there would be additional wiring to add the passenger side lock to the keyless system.

S models (at least early ones) have power windows and mirrors but no power door locks. Newer ones (95-95ish) may have them.

Lets see.. it's not hard to add it passenger side. I'm not sure how hard it would be to take it from an SI all I'm thinking is the button the solenoids from the doors and a harness. I'm not sure bout that one though. To do it with the alarm is a lot easier. Just get the solenoid for the door put it in the door tie it to the rods in the door. Run 2 wires to the alarm brain where the other wires from the other door are and spice together. I think the keyless entry way easier.

i added power door locks to my S. Its not that hard, but i had someone who knew what they were doing helping me...
its just a little cylinder behind the door panel
i dont have a switch though, the doors automatically unlock with the alarm.

On my S i added my own power locks, doing this should be easier than to rip apart any other lude, get two new actuators and you run two wires through the boot of the car, you can hook it up to a switch and your alarm or starter, takes about an hour and a half to do

Hey ShadowZZ, how do you go about running wires through the door boot?
