I have a 1991 Chevy stepside. It already has power locks. Can this hook right up to the current power locks? It only has two doors.

I'm quite sure that it can. I'm pretty well versed in wiring and electronics, but this unit proved to be too hard to figure out how to install.... so I paid local company $100 to install and works great!

I bought this unit a few years ago and installed. I didn't have the range issues like other users here. Make sure you route the antenna as high up under the dash as possible. (The antenna is a thin wire, like the others.) Back to your question, however, you mentioned that your car did NOT come with remote door locks. I'm assuming it does have power locks. If so, this unit will work great. Bulldog even sells harness kits if you don't feel comfortable cutting, splicing, and soldering ignition wires under your dashboard.

I had a similar one on my 2002 Silverado for almost 10 years until it broke last year. No one ever messed with it. Keeps stuff out of sight, out of mind. I installed a different tailgate latch that included a lock as well.

Hi,This lock is more for trucks that do not have a key locking tailgate. If you already have a key locking tailgate you probably don't need this lock.Thank you,Steve

You should have no problem making this motor work with your vehicle. The only thing you would want to check is to make sure that the lock system on the vehicle now is solid metal rod driven and not cable wire. These aftermarket door lock motors will only work on solid metal.

i will work , but its not a perfect fit. here's the trick, either use a couple of washers to space it towards the inside of the tail gate or bend it to allow free movement.you will know its right when the key works freely. I wired mine to the left hand passenger door so it works with the second press of lock button (use the two striped wires, test for proper operation, if its not right just switch the two bullet plugs at the lock) slit the rubber plug at the rear of the door sill to get the wire in the cab, there is no need to drill holes to get the job done. worth the effort !

Because it appears a mess I will answer. The thing will take 12 volts in so hook that up and then run the (correct) wires to your 2 wire door lock. The rest is lights on, horn beep, trunk release so go figure. Took me 2 weeks to make the door locks work and then the unit crashed after a few uses so I bought a hawk in the orange box with the car on it. It has better directions and the thing has taken multiple drops and extreme midwest cold and has continued to work. This stuff is a bit of a nightmare and the lack of instruction from most makes it almost impossible for the uninitiated. I bought 4 from 4 companies. Got one to work. So don't feel like the Lone Ranger. Good luck.

My van is a 2011 so it came with both power sliding doors. I can only assume that it will work with just one power sliding door. Good luck

Not sure where you are going with this. It locks and unlocks with your key fob wired to your door locks. If it fails, you could open the tailgate from inside by taking off the tailgate cover.

If your vehicle comes pre-wired for a remote locking system, it will work. You must first check if your doors all have motors in them that switch the door locks. These must be present, otherwise you have to install them as well. This system simply triggers those motors to lock or unlock the doors. Cheers bro

I'm not sure as there is only one place to plug in the lock unit to the door opener itself on my opener. Sorry I can't be more help.

I'm not sure why you would want it if your slider is not powered . But it should still work for door locks. would be better off to have your old wire restrung.

The only cars it doesn't work on would be those without electric locks. If your doors don't unlock when the battery is disconnected---you've got electric locks.

Yup! Thats what I put it on. TacomaWorld has an excellent write up on install so that it only unlocks when u hit it twice, like you would to unlock all doors.
