Hey...

I have an 84 Monte and it has power windows but no power locks, I would love to be able to use keyless entry...

Has anyone ever done this?
If so, how would I go about doing this?

Thanks in advance

Surprise AZ.
I got the lock linkage, wiring connectors brackets and switches from a junk yard Monte Carlo. Bought new actuators from Rockauto.com.
Bought a wiring assortment on line. I also scored a Big Daddy Rivet gun at a pawn shop here in PHX.
Looked Up the Wiring schematic on line. There are alot of little parts.It takes alot of wire to run back and forth, I also did it while I had the interior out.
Also got the relay from the Monte and a Aftermarket Keyless entry Kit. Its a lot of fiddly stuff but I am glad I did it.
