Hi, at Unique Autosports day i was told to cut the wire that does the auto lock of the doors as people who are stealing the car flick the lock switch and unlock the door.

anyway my friend has taken the door switch part off my door however we cant work out which wire to cut :) and i dont want to cut the wrong one :D

what colour is the wire that i cut?

Thanks!

G'day dude,

Yepp, it's strongly advised to do this.

I did mine and from memory it's a brown wire that you cut. Or a wire with a brown stripe on it.

Cut it so you have enough left so you can join it back up. So if you do cut the wrong one you can still join it up again.

When you've cut the right wire, the button will still lock the doors, but won't unlock the doors.

wait....i'm confused:confused:....so how'd you get out of the car? :confused:

:confused:you mean the switches on the inside?:confused: how'd those thieves flick it from the outside? :confused:

Aero - there is a switch on the drivers door that you press and it will lock/unlock the passengers side door.

I'm not talking about the the drivers door lock, I'm talking about the other one that is there.

If you cut the wire to the button, you can still just unlock the doors manually etc.

Cutting the wire does not affect the central locking in anyway.

you can put an unbent coat hanger through the gap where the glass touches the roof and flick the switch, then u can get in the door without breaking the glass, and maybe w/o setting off the alarm. but hopefully it should go off as soon as someone inside the car moves.

Is that switch on the right hand side meant to lock both doors?? Or just the passenger one, because my switch only locks the passenger door.

That feature in my car comes in handy simply because I drive the car a lot by myself. Whats the benefits in disconnecting the lock. I thought it was quite a good function.

And how can people trying to hyjack the car, unlock the door? I'm a bit confused here!

NismoGirl - with the wire cut you can still lock the door, but not unlock the door.

You can still unlock the pass' door by unlocking the drivers door and the central locking will then unlock the pass' door.

I personally would my car as hard as possible to get into, so I have cut the wire. Sure my alarm will go off as soon as they open the door, but I'd like to make it as hard as possible to get the door open in the first place !

For an explaination of what can be done have a look at a5h's post above.

Cheers

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
