Google...wonderful thing...Possibly find it locally...Or similar...! Most shops would use relays,some use converters...Heck...the biggest shop close to me makes ALL of there bypasses with key.passlock,etc...I have seen these converters fail and send a constant signal to the door locks(key would'nt even turn in cylinder...doh)...Yet to see that with relays...

Call...Ask for door lock converters...! Crystal ball is malfunctioning at the moment...But if you put in where locally is...Maybe someone would have a suggestion...Otherwise...HOW the heck would we know if they sell it around you...? (sensing a bit of rudeness...ask myself...why post a question for help...then get mad...i dunno...)

Didn't mean to seem rude, I was pretty much just asking if they're a pretty common item or if they're hard to find locally.

Hit-or-Miss...Give it a shot...If it is hard to find locally...Any shop can order you one...Just ask them to do it during their next parts order...Might save you special order charges,shipping...Just stop in a week or two in advance of the install and ask...

Problem is I'm an idiot and I've been doing the install on and off for the past 3 days while still driving the car everywhere with a missing glovebox and a mess of wires hanging out. So yea, time is important.reverse polarity without relay - Page 2 -- posted image.

well then...It is already "messed up"reverse polarity without relay - Page 2 -- posted image....i Have no more suggestions...Might have them,might not...If they dont...two relays or transistors...I'm sure a shop will have one of the three... Then have it special ordered...1-3 days and probably 10x the cost of relays...

Who is this guy, taking Craig's name in vain? I've got loads of 451s also we don't call it mad cow, it's Danny Crane after a recent wonderful TV show. KP 5/10amp SPCO minis, great for small current jobs and space probs. 48p (or 75c) each from RS components UK, chuck a diode across the coil, great for mirror fold.

Beam me up Howie. Not only Danny Crane's, but he also reckoned in his last post that HE is an idiot!
Such insolence! He has not yet earned the right to take the Idiot name. Kodi has made a brave attempt - but Mad Cow?
So sir - not yet.
But MC will soon learn.
Resistance is Futile. And V/I. And a V rooting on top of its Power base.
May the Farce be with you.

Such was my comment about taking Craig's name in vain! V is being remade by the way. Didn't my sister wave to you? She's on a world cruise on the Queen Mary, just done Melbourne round to Perth and now approaching Borneo, from where she phoned me at 5:00am this morning. Danny Crane again forgot the time diff.
Over the years I've had reliability problems using transistors to flip the polarity. Maybe I should stop de-soldering them from defunct ITALIAN alarm boards, probably made by the people who make the electrics for Alfa Romeo and Lancia. Shame really, the current Alfa's are so beautiful. Kevin, I was always told 47k on the transistor, any real difference?
