'87 vw syncro vanagon westfalia manual

DEI probably sells more, but they make up for it by returned brains. I have done DEI starters a few times, and this is the second encounter i had that had serious problems.Ted

By all means ask, I'm obviously only familiar with right/hand drive but I think that vintage L/H/D was just a mirror image. Most of what you want except for door triggers and siren mounting is centred between steering column and fuse box. If it has central locking it will probably be of the single point type and will need an actuator in the driver's door. To test see if you can lock all of the doors with key in the front passenger door.

It's wired for power locks. I also just found the original window sticker and it had power locks installed from dealer. I opened the door panels and the actuators are gone. I bought a couple aftermarker actuators and plan on installing them in the front doors. The slider and rear hatch still have the original actuators. I believe the system works with the front doors as masters and the slider and rear as slaves. Hopefully I can just wire the new actuators in the front and the slider and rear will work. I would like to do driver's priority unlock. Any tips to make this easier. I'm sure I can figure it out, but suggestions are welcome.

Don't wire the front passenger door as a master, 2 wire only or you will never get the locks to synch. Buy a 2 motor set with wiring and relay, then tap the motor wires from the side and rear to the motor outputs from this relay. Only use a door lock specific relay module. You will need a second relay for priority unlock.

Hey howie....is there any diagram for this van's type of door locks that shows how to wire for priority driver's unlock??? It's 4 wire, and that's about all I know. I think I'm going to abandon most of the front doors wiring and run new wires for my aftermarket actuators. I could do a bunch of trial and error, but I'm sure you know something to save me time.
