Does the car have power locks, and you want them to lock/unlock with ignition or are you simply trying to add actuators? Please be more specific and we can help.

You wil need to buy a special kit, probably from Spal because the locks are actuated by cables rather than rods, there is a diagramme in the relay section showing how to give ignition lock/unlock which is what I believe you were asking for.

I have the actuators but when I put them on the door I can not find a place that will work for them. I put them on the lock rod and it is not strang enough to lock and unlock it. So I put it on the lack where the cable is and the door handle does not want to go flush with the door.

Look at www.power-locks.com or google MES locks, they do type specific CABLE actuators inc. the Ford Focus. Can't help you anymore, ALL the UK Focuses have power locks and windows.

It's just something you have to learn as you go, I can't help, lok at the site I mentioned, they might have instructions, how many times over the years have I had to learn. I wish this site was around 20 years ago!
