Power Lock button??

[cyberfrogg]

Ok, so I got my car used. And it was advertised to have the power package. Power locks, windows... But when I saw it, it didnt. So we had the power windows installed with the switches and later on we got power locks.

But they only lock and unlock with this:

Now, I saw that I have these two in the middle:

One's going to be for the fogs and I was wondering if there was ANY way I could add a lock/unlock switch in there. Its very annoying to have to look through my keys to unlock the door for someone from the inside... Any help would be much appreciated! thanks.

I installed my aftermarket power locks and wired them to my Python alarm. They only power lock/unlock with the remote, too. I'm wondering the same thing: if it's as simple as throwing an inline switch in there somewhere?

[CTScott]

Look at the installation manual for your remote entry manual. Look for the lock and unlock outputs. You will either need to ground the output through a switch, or pull it high (the manual will show if the outputs are positive or negative.)

I was going to point you to the keyless entry lock/unlock wires in the driver's kick panel, but then realized that your cars started with manual locks, so those wires are probably not used.

Your door actuators are probably only 2-wire when they should be 5-wire so that all doors will Lock/Unlock when you flip any lock on any door.

i didn't know about that feature! lol

[Shroomster]

those two dead spots...one of them is actually where the o.e.m switch goes....

No its not.....I have a Sedan with the power package and the OEM switches are on the doors.

This is a 2-wire Actuator:

This is a 5-wire Actuator:

http://a1electric.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=AEOS&Product_Code=W16F

The 2-wire is only to able to Lock/Unlock itself while the 5-wire is able to Lock/Unlock all doors including itself.

No its not.....I have a Sedan with the power package and the OEM switches are on the doors.

The liftbacks with the power package have a switch there (part number 84930-52050). It's a two way lock/unlock toggle and it's about $60 from Toyota).

This is true....but he has a Sedan

[CTScott]

Correct, but he's looking for an easy solution to add a lock/unlock switch to a non-oem system. It seems to me that using the liftback switch in the center console would be easier / less expensive than adding the OEM sedan door switch module.

[cyberfrogg]

yeah. I don't want to add the whole door switch, I'd rather just use the one in the middle.. Would it have been easier with the 5 wire actuator? =/

With the 5 wire actuators, you wouldn't have needed to add a switch, as unlocking the manual door lock on the driver's door would have unlocked all of the other doors as well.

Do you know what brand/model your keyless system is?

[cyberfrogg]

xD duh thats true... lol oops. Ah well my mom took the car. I'll check what it is later.. I remember it was K-9 or something like that. I'll check it out when she gets home..

Yeah, K-9 Mundial SS (I should have recognized that from the remote).

In the image below, look at the three pin connector with the Green (-Lock), Red, and Blue (-Unlock) wires.

Tap onto the green and blue wires as they leave the module. Run a wire from green to one side of your lock switch and ground the other side. Do the same for blue with your unlock switch.

[cyberfrogg]

woah seriously? Is that all I need to do? I guess now all I need is a lock/unlock switch that will fit in that hole in the middle... Do you know where I can get something like that? thank you thank you thank you! lol :biggrin:

[CTScott]

Yeah, that's it.

For switches, the slickest one would be the liftback one I mentioned above, as it would fit perfectly in one of the slots and would even have the lock/unlock labeling to it.

If you want to save cash, you could just use two momentary normally open switches from Radioshack (for under $4 each). You could find two that will fit together in one of the knockouts.

[cyberfrogg]

sweet. =] Are you sure radioshack has em though? anddd I was wondering if I could get the liftback switch at a dealership or something.. And if I could, do you know what the part number would be? thanks so much for all your help! :thumbup:

From Radioshack, you could use any normally open push button momentary switch Like this for example (for $2.69 each):

The OEM Liftback one is Toyota Part Number: 84930-52050
You could definitely order it from any Toyota parts department or TRDSparks.com

Looks like the one in this picture:

[cyberfrogg]

Awesome!! Wooh!! thanks so much! :D

holy smokes! I just saw the switch is like 47 bucks!

ahh I guess I'll go with the momentary switch.. still, I'll have a designated lock/unlock button! lol thanks. =]

[cyberfrogg]

Wait, would this one work? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3097458

or this one? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3165064

or maybe this one? lol http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103602

sorry im such a noob and I hardly know anything about wiring and electricity..

[CTScott]

No good on those three. They need to be momentary, rather than latching (spring back, not click).

Ideally, you want a single momentary-off-momentary switch. Check these two out from Digikey (A real electronics supply place).

This one is $7 and looks like it might just fit in one of the holes:

Here's an illuminated one for $18 (hole would have to be lengthened by ~3mm):

[cyberfrogg]

Oh I see. I like those better. lol Just out of curiosity, would it be possible to go to a junkyard and take off a lock switch of an older toyota?

[CTScott]

Maybe. Nothing but Yaris Liftbacks used that particular part number, so you'd be looking for something that would fit in the knockout. I have no idea if any other Toyotas used a similar switch.

[cyberfrogg]

alright cool thanks. =] I'll go look for one in a junkyard and try it out and if it doesn't work, I'll get the one you suggested. thanks. :D I'll post pics when I'm done.

[Shroomster]

good luck! :D
