Hi all,
I've asked this question before recently and didn't get an answer :?: Can somebody please tell me what the 3 wires in the central locking are for [-o< [-o< They are black. blue . Green & white. :?: I want to wire up a remote central locking kit and don't own a multimeter.I have found out not to waste money on a flip out key as they don't do one for the bongo,even if the one supplied look the same and have the same reference no. as the original :!: Many thanks Dave

I'm sure there's a set of instructions in the members area for this?

I did mine about 4 years ago and long since forgotten.

PS How's the motor running?

Yup, there's a factsheet in the members area that shows the wiring.
You can get a cheap meter for a few quid, well worth the investment for faultfinding as well.

Hi Graham,
The fact sheet doesn't list the wires used or if it does I cant read the writing on my print out :?: The head issue was sorted after 3 heads :!: The block was skimmed by the head suppliers and cured the issue :D :D The final bill was reasonable and mr Taylor once again proved what a decent bloke he is to do buisness with :D :D Dave

I'm colour blind and I couldn't read them either :roll:

Glad it all got sorted, he's a good lad that Mr Taylor :D

I keep on thinking of ringing him to tell ours is going ok but I don't want to tempt fate...


Thinking of running a mini meet at RAF Cosford - tempted? I've asked them for available dates etc. Should be a bit better for facilities than Tackeroo in the winter :lol:

Great, I will sort a date as soon as I hear from the museum.

I just had a look at the copy of the factsheet I download in July 2005 :shock:

It's as per missfixit70 advice - you'll need a multi meter or a bulb holder and two wires, or pop up the A34 and use mine :)

unless you have factory fitted RCL then you dont have a motor in the drives door, so you accessing the vehicles wiring will only end in tears, configure your unit as direct motor control and add a motor to the drivers door, takes 30 mins.

Hi Julian,
Can you explain in simple terms please :) I can't get the indicators to flash as yet :?: So adding a motor might be too much work for me :?: Dave

By motor he means actuator as described in the fact sheet. Easy enough to do, hardest bit is finding the right position to mount it & that isn't particularly difficult, it can just be a bit of a bloody knuckle job.

There's a top tip of cutting the clear plastic film and taping afterwards rather than disturbing the black sticky sealant (from hell).....too late?
