A lot of times PNP wont let you use devices with an open flame!
Just a thought.
Your state may have different laws.

I'd take it just in case, if they will let you use it!
Would sux to have to make a second trip!

ok there was 3 aspires, all sticks. like 4 festys, all sticks and 2 with motors, all of them were really picked over, one had the rear wiper hatch. and the wiper and motor was there, but dont think thats worth anything. but it looked almost shot so i dont think its even worth pulling lol.

after searching about 40 cars that had power locks but all was inside the latch (what holds door shut) but finally i found a 92 toyota camery that had an acutator and not inside the latch, but its all rivited together so i had to get the whole assy. took me bout half an hour to get the drivers side out, but once i figured it out the pass side took all of 5 min lol

anyway ill post pics of the assy later. and just let yall know everything for festy and aspires was picked over real good. 3 out of the 7 didnt have steering colums or the instrument cluster.

did you happen to look at the actuators in a mazda 626? theres one in my yard with power locks and i was going to take a look at the actuators tomorrow. but if there the type built into the latch i wont bother.

[warlocke]

wasnt any lol i looked around the yard 3 times.

I took my power window regulators and power door lock actuators from a 92 mazda protege.
After looking at several mazda cars all of the actuators seem to be the same,the only difference is the rod that connects to the lock.

^-- are the actuators out of the mazda cars stand alone? And how did those power regulators work? do they bolt up? i was going to try grab those too.

^-- are the actuators out of the mazda cars stand alone? And how did those power regulators work? do they bolt up? i was going to try grab those too.

1: Yes they are stand alone.
2: They bolt right up,but window don't go all the way down,up about 1"
3: Drill two holes about 1" below stock holes,Windows go all the way down.

[elcamino1]

Also grab the two rear door power window switches.
Haven't found a two door car with power windows that will work yet.
Waiting to see if festiva gtx will be able to get them from phillipines.

[muscle_Car1]

^ um the escort 2dr you can swap the whole armrest, including the swtiches.

[elcamino1]

Thanks muscle_Car1 I'll check that out.

just a suggestion for future trips-i always take a pair of offset LH (red handle) metal snips. even though i hate to butcher a car, they will easily cut out any sections of the inner door to give you easier access to the things you want or just cut out the patch of metal that things like window motors and such are attached to.

ok guys im looking at my acutator right now, its off of a 92 toyota camry
heres a pic of it




as you can see on the big thing thats the acutator, theres 4 wires, the rest im not to worried about. but ive done some research that model had a anti theft and 2 out of the 4 wires go to the alarm system,
the wire colors are as folows
blue/red
blue/brown
white/black
and blue/black

how do i find out which 2 wires controls the power and which 2 go to the alarm,

im still goin thro google but if you have any info let me know please

[warlocke]

ok this is the book on the wiring of the acutator. this is the one for adding a acutator it says


ok i did go to advance and look in the haynes manual for the wiring diagrams.

i got this info
white/black is ground
to lock its blue/red
and to unlock its blue/black.

and after l got to looking at the acutator in the sunlight, 2/4 wires look like blue/red instead of one blue/red and blue/brown like i thought but ill look better tomm.

my question is how do i wire this up this diagram confused the crap out of me.
