Fitting my remote central locking/alarm unit

than ran a twin flex across the door and in to the cab

Here's why I didn't mount the actuator higher up; mainly I liked the access at the hole, as I recall the door lock that was there was in the way of mounting it vertically and finally the rod was just the right length at that position. It would make for a quicker job if you don't use a bracket.

Did you pass your wire through the rubber sleeving that the existing harness passes through.

yes ran the flex through the rubber sleeving or boot

All finished now and for the money it is excellent.

that's good to hear

Except it has a feature that is driving me nuts. It is called "Warning for temporarily parking car". The direction lights flash for 8 seconds every single time I open the door. Not only does the tick tock irritate me but it means I can't jump in and drive of from a parked position in the high street. Also I am forever opening and shutting the door to fiddle with the motor so it is tick-tocking for hours which can't be good for the battery.

I think I may have to disconnect the flashers from it which is a pity. There is nothing else I can do about it. If these alarms are all like this I would not automatically recommend one and that's a turn about isn't it.

Drove me mental so sadly disconnected the flasher leads from the unit. It still clicks away but ear plugs will cure that.
