You can pick up the accutators on e bay as a kit for about 25.00 but there is a electrical supply that sells them cheaper ( i can't remeber the name of the site). I had already bought my kit off of ebay before I saw that thread. You may go to this site http://www.the12volt.com/ they have alot of good info. As far as the install I have only installed a alarm with the power door locks. The door locks are really not that hard the alarm was more of a pain. You can also find the Power Window kits on ebay. Good luck

I've installed both door and window kits. Door locks will work easiest -w- an alarm. Actuators can be installed in the doors. Electric Life sells an excellent window kit that slides over the manual crank gear. It's easy to install. Good luck

I found the webiste http://www.partsexpress.com just search for power door locks they are 3.85 each. On ebay they carry a power window kit made by Stahl that is supposed to be pretty good. That is next on my list.

What type of switch did you use for the door lock? The standard rocker or one straight from Ford?

rocker switches
I just used a standard rocker switch, I picked them up from a mobile electronics store here locally for $5.00.

Just wandering, if i convert to power locks and buy an alarm system with remote keyless entry, i was wandering how the remotes are programed into the car to tell it to lock and unlock. Dont they have to be programmed into a certain code? I just dont quite understand it.

If you're converting your standard locks to power, you'll probably going to use aftermarket motor's (actuator's). You'll need to use a keyless entry or alarm system to power them, or use relays and rocker switches. If you use relay's & switches, the keyless can hook into the relay system to power the locks.
