remote doors Lights

On my rv I have electric door locks but not remote locks. anyone have any ideas how to complete the system to make into remote locks. I bought remotes on the chance that the system is there but not active. Well nothing worked with the remotes. So I guess that some pieces are not installed, but I dont know which ones.

Also the F series has a headlight switch with daylight position for lights, the rv does not. Anyone switched the system? The F series has it that lights are on for in grill/bumper running lights stay on till high beams selected.

Again any help on either appreciated.

My 99 E350 headlamp switch socket had a blank opening, so I checked the tab out, it is what you are talking about, I shoved a blade in there and run it to a switch I have some off road lamps on, so I'll not run down the battery by leaving them on, as it only has power when the ignition is on.

Thanks will check how to get the switch out to see if still like that. Want to add some running lights (led) so that the rv will be more visible to oncoming veh's.

Pull the socket, I made certain there was a tab on the light switch in the blank hole, I'm sure yours is the same, I needed to replace the headlamp switch at the time, I think the conversion vans use it by adding driving lights, I swear I've seen them with driving lights.

Been a rough one, since the doctor told me how easily I can break my hip I've stopped hopping out on the ground, so I've been dragging out the jack so I can remove the wheels to get access to reach around and bleed/adjust the brakes, working harder on what should be simple. LoL
