My donor car was a Nov 1991 and as far as I can tell from the door looms the central locking motors have two D-plugs, each with 2 cables.
Is that correct, and where will I find a pair?

Does anyone have a picture of how the motors connect to the door locks, and will it matter that the donor would have cable-operated locks and I'm using rods?


If I can't make the Ford central locking fit, can aftermarket remote central locking kits be programmed to work with a standard Ford 3-button key?

Alright mate.
I have sierra sapphire central locking and barrels in my 3 door as it has a saph loom in the car.
The central locking motors mount to the door in a different position than original 3 door ones. All I did was transfer and mesure the original position on the saph door over on to the 3 door.
And are you sure that you defo have cable operated ones cos I thought they were all push rod?

the motors will be the same but the wiring will lock/unlock on the opposite sides if that makes sense

the later motors are also sheathed in bits of plastic to make them harder to get into with a jemmy but it all dependso n what you are going to be using them as, the cable operation is much easier and less snagging as compared to the rods, and you may be able to simply lift the whole system over

if you currently have cables then you can simply swap themotors over and hopefully you can see if they work the right way or not and then simply chop/swap the wires over

Seems to be cable-operated on later cars from what I've read - sadly, I never thought to strip the doors, thinking the bits I already had from the F Reg would work, but they are different plugs and only one cable, so I don't have the right motors ATM. I got some from ebay but they arrived with the same earlier plugs I had on my own motors.

And no idea where/how they attach!
