Subject:HOWTO: Installing aftermarket power door locks in an '85 vanagon westfalia
From:Audin Malmin

I just finished my power door lock project.  Thought I would write it
up:

http://jupiter.okb-1.org/vanagon/power_locks.html

        This page generally details how I installed power locks in my
non-power-lock 85 westy.  I will be adding more images as I come across better
ones.

        All four locks are powered (two front doors, slider, and rear hatch).
All operate automatically with the alarm system remote control.  Also added is
a dome light switch to the sliding door, and a second dome light.

        Hope this is helpful to someone.  It is a decent amount of work, but
only about $40 without the alarm, and $80 or so with.
