Door Unlock button (urgent help plz :))

[Ash]

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

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.

Cheers

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.

ok, and its a wire with brown, i kinda don't want to cut the wrong one for obvious reasons

How do the theives get to this swtich though? It's on the inside, and by the time they break the window, they may as well go through the drivers door...

[Ash]

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.

[Airzone]

Hrmm.. Good point. An alarm with door sensors will still go off though.

[Henros]

I have an alarm that will automatically relock the doors if anyone tries to unlock without disarming the alarm first.

[Jay95R33]

Coco - yepp, it's a R33 thing..

so does anyone know what wire to cut? what colour?

[Shell]

Didn't Jay just give you the answer? :confused:

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!

pa..who cares..that is what we pay insurance for ..

pa..who cares..that is what i have a pannic button for ..

[Jay95R33]

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.
