Constant 12v power locks
I am going to be installing power locks on the two front doors of my 2008 sedan. It is a universal kit with remote unlock and just wondering where I should get the 12v from. I would like to put the module on drivers side panel. Thanks

Use the location on the under dash fuse panel that I show in my remote start DIY. Power locks require a significant amount of current (15+ A), so using that location works well, as it has the ability to feed up to 60A. http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24860

You can use one like that however be sure that you pick up the one with a sheath. What gauge wire did your kit come with or what gauge do you plan on using?

I just compared the wire to another i have and it looks like it is 16 gauge. So do i connect this to top pin or the bottom on the fuse panel spot that ctscott said to put it.

The top one. The bottom isn't connected to anything.
