"It did not come with instructions... but we'll figure this out!" This is going to be my new go to line whenever I get asked ANY how-to question ever again.
watching your vid on 30th jan 2024 now this whole setup costs me 12$ i have ordered them from china.Mine also came with indicators flashing on lock and unlock. lol
update: i was re watching this because im about to do this on a brand new 2022 tacoma (and make a video) ... they still work perfect to this day.BUT THIS KIT has a huge parasitic draw that will drain your battery after a few days.. so keep that in mind if you get this exact kit
Wonder how long before the hole in plastic solenoid plunger cracks open and the rod falls out. The cheap plastic used overseas nowadays is beyond junk. Hope it keeps working for you and you get more than one season out of it. That motor really slams the plastic plunger into the metal rod. Something has to give unfortunately. Hope you bought the 4 door kit so you have some spares. I put aftermarket power windows in my '96 Silverado and I ordered 2 kits when I made the purchase. Good thing because the driver's motor crapped out after ~2 years.
@@chriscraft77022 Oh damn- thanks for telling me that. I was thinking of buying a 4-door set for my classic Corvette so I'd have two extra actuators. I could live with having to replace them but NOT a dead battery! Car only comes out for car shows and an occasional drive so I'll have to check for a more reputable setup. Thanks again for that input.
@@chriscraft77022 The reason this made sense to me is that my Corvette doesn't have power locks and when I take it to car shows things have gotten so out of hand with the lawlessness that I lock the doors whenever I walk away from it to look at the other cars and talk to friends. Each time I do that I risk of accidently scratching the paint with the door lock key. I figured everything would be out of sight so no one would be the wiser and it might mitigate an accident and/ or some malcontent just opening the door and getting in. Since you mentioned your battery gets drained and goes dead on a regular basis I realized that the electronic module that receives the signal from the key fob is always on and just waiting to respond to a key fob lock or unlock press. I started wondering why ALL cars with power accessories similar to locks don't have this problem and realized that factory units are designed for real cars by real engineers and the receiver circuitry used and designed for the unit has super low current requirements and are designed for this not to happen. These online Chinese units are probably some crude receiver that is normally used where external power is constantly supplied and they just stock that in a case and called it a day not caring if people get stuck. My heated seats failed 2 years ago and the repair was cost prohibitive so I bought a cheap pair that plug into the power outlets in the car. Turn them off and leave them plugged in and the battery is dead in the car in 2 days. Go figure.
INTERESTING...... kinda want to do that to my Sonoma there are versions that have that yes but this one doesn't have it and I like it for what it is I got it 👌cheap lol and running too needs stuff but what car/truck don't lol.
Hey I wired the 5 wire lock color to colors matched the drivers side was 5 wires and the other side has green blue But mine has 2 orange wires where do they get wired thanks
A jeep guy that actually does proper wiring? Didn't know those even existed. Honestly though, the only change I would make is at 8:05 I'd use uninsulated terminals and then use glue lined heatshrink on them so the crimps are 100% waterproof and wont corrode.
I installed the same kit on my car, but I found that it would unlock randomly. I could get it to lock but it unlocked sometimes right away or after a few minutes. I never hit the buttons after locking. Did you have this problem?
My 04 tj works like I expected. One thing I noticed is if I use the manual lock button on the inside drivers door unlocks both doors unlock but only locks the drivers door. Is that normal
@@chriscraft77022 I found out that now it works both ways. It just needed a little rod adjustment and now the drivers door locks and unlocks both doors. I hope the draw when it sits doesn't run my battery down.
Need help understanding is it supposed to like slow thief’s down or stop them from busting through the door handles just wondering because this happened to my 03 Tahoe last night and I need something that can protect it from being stolen
Anyone know for this specific kit with that remote; the brown and white wires what buttons they correspond to? Im trying to get the horn for panic and also the markers to flash at least for locking; I know this kit is cheap but I know im onto something
@@chriscraft77022 could you please elaborate? I have a 2017 Jeep Patriot and there are no buttons just locks that you push up or down. Is this still doable?
Not exactly boom, boom, boom, look momma I did it! You gotta have some knowledge of mechanics, wiring, electronics, and other things. Good job, though. Very informative, thanks
This is the video where a project including door actuators started to seem feasible to me, thanks a lot!
they still work perfect to this day
"It did not come with instructions... but we'll figure this out!" This is going to be my new go to line whenever I get asked ANY how-to question ever again.
This video gave me the knowledge to install these locks on my 1997 Dodge Dakota solid tutorial! They work great
The ending of the video with the train horn was lit. 🔥
Just stumbled here from your Saginaw rebuild. Finding your vids practical and heads up... even if the vehicles are older than mine. Subbed
watching your vid on 30th jan 2024 now this whole setup costs me 12$ i have ordered them from china.Mine also came with indicators flashing on lock and unlock. lol
Gonna spread the sauce friend?
Hi, May I please know if you can help me with the power door installation on 2023 wrangler? Thank you very much.

What do you recommend now is a kit?
Great video Chris
Hey Chris. Nice job. That was so easy. Well easy once I see you do it. Thanks for sharing Chris. 🍁👍
Can you program a different key fob to it?
Nice, going to try mine today
Definitely installing this in my '05 TJ Rocky Mtn, Great video!
you cant go wrong, literally
Who’s the manufacture on your side steps/rock rails? By the way great video info.
I have a video on them I don’t remember the name
Great Video. Will help my installation go better. Thanks!
Hi friend,
Do you can still use the lock button that is on the handle?
Or you can only lock/unlock the car with the remote?

I bought the cheap ones because I don’t daily that Jeep. They still work perfect but will drain the battery if you leave it for a few days

Hello, I know you didn't like the remote. Can you change it? Like can you program an actual key fob or something to give a signal?
INTERESTING...... kinda want to do that to my Sonoma there are versions that have that yes but this one doesn't have it and I like it for what it is I got it 👌cheap lol and running too needs stuff but what car/truck don't lol.
Can you give nay more tips on the wiring part? That's the hardest to understand for me.
nice jeep and nice job!

Great tutorial 👍
Unfortunately #999 down on my list for my 88 pick up 😃
How do you run the wire from the driver's side all the way to the passenger door?
Great videos. Nice work.
can this increase likelihood of theft?
Excellent 👍🏽 liked and subscribed
Great video man 👌
think I'm going to bring my 76 gran Torino to the 21st century.
Thankyou so much
I'm ordering the parts. Could you possibly tell me what size the wires are?
excellent!
Thank you !

no

I honestly only use the key fob.. I have never manually locked or unlocked them.. I’ll check it out soon here

It WILL drain your battery completely dead in like a week.. happened to me 3 times.. I start mine up every 3 days and I’ve been good
@@chriscraft77022 I let my 2004 to sit for 1 week and went out today and it started normally and the temp here in Southern Indiana was 20 degrees.
In 1 week mine cranks slow 2 weeks kills my battery 100%
Very good video !!! Thanks
nice video thank you
You need a sleeved grommet
Need help understanding is it supposed to like slow thief’s down or stop them from busting through the door handles just wondering because this happened to my 03 Tahoe last night and I need something that can protect it from being stolen
Bro this for people without automatic door locks 😂 but sorry tht yo stuff got broke into but I always advise a glock it’s always a good anti theft
Anyone know for this specific kit with that remote; the brown and white wires what buttons they correspond to? Im trying to get the horn for panic and also the markers to flash at least for locking; I know this kit is cheap but I know im onto something
Didn’t do the tale gate? I was wondering if it had a trunk popper in it too. ( for my classic car)
the kit comes with 4 actuators.. i did not do the tailgate..
Hi Chris, does that brand comes with the parking light signals?
I don’t know what that is.. everything that came in the kit is shown.. so I guess not
Where can I buy one for my jeep?
Only issue I see here is - it’s not plug and play so it would be an issue taking your doors off from the wrangler
Can you do this on cars that you have to lift the handle in order to lock?
you should.. as long as the lock has a lever you can do it
@@chriscraft77022 could you please elaborate? I have a 2017 Jeep Patriot and there are no buttons just locks that you push up or down. Is this still doable?
Would you be able to program a different key fob to this
Did you hook yours to the horn
🤔
Well this work on a jk?
Will they work on a wrangler 2020
How are they doing now ?
they work perfect but if you don’t drive the car it WILL drain your battery in a few days
Where you located?
Not exactly boom, boom, boom, look momma I did it! You gotta have some knowledge of mechanics, wiring, electronics, and other things. Good job, though. Very informative, thanks
What brand did you go with?
I just put the link
Bought that kit and installed it on my 65 impala didn't come with instructions, but your video nailed it and made it simple
Will it fit a chevelle ??
yes
chevelle ?
I was wondering that too.
Chris,
What happened to your Chevelle?
@72SSAbody paint job coming this fall..
Ha ha hell yeah
This is a Jeep- they don’t need locks
I live in Houston, TX ... everything needs locks
Better Idea Remove The Lock And And Door Then Anyone Can Open It.
Oh no you get a big fucking surprise there's no batteries in the remotes....
You mean you got lucky and you got batteries with your remotes?
