Installation:  Safety Disable Switch

WARNING!  

If using any type of motor, such as a window motor or a door lock motor - add a Disable switch 

to prevent the door or window circuit from operating when vehicle is in motion.

 A disable switch should be installed in any application to deny operation of the motor when a vehicle 

is in motion.  However, due to changes in automotive electrical design and the addition of computer controlled 
circuits, it is no longer advisable or safe to tap into or cut wires to disable automotive factory circuits.  To 
overcome this problem, you must install an electro-mechanical switch which will determine gear position, thus 
safely disabling the circuit while the vehicle is in motion.  Below are three options for installing a Safety 
Disable Switch.

Safety Disable Feature

Older models of Caprice and the Crown Victoria cars still have a Park/Neutral switch or output located near 
the steering column of the vehicle.  However, many of the newer cars do not have an available output to sense 
the gear of the vehicle.  The outputs that can sense the gear of the vehicle are logic level and directly 
connected to the computer, (ECM, Electronic Control Module).  

If any wires or switches are attached to the 

ECM harness or computer outputs, the vehicle warranty may not be honored.

Installation:  Electrical - Door Unlock / Lock Circuit

5)   Install Door Lock Circuit

A) Determine which type of door unlock circuit operates in the vehicle.   See page 7 for a detailed 
explanation.
B)   Locate the lock and unlock wire color used in the vehicle.   It is usually easiest to remove decorative 
panel around drivers switch and pop switch out of the door.
C)   Locate the switch and unlock motor in rear door.
D)   Determine if the wire colors in the switch match the wire color on the rear door lock motor for lock 
and unlock.
E)   CUT the wires between the rear door unlock switch and the rear door unlock motors.   Choose a 
location that is easily serviced.   (See diagram 13d)

F)   Install a whire between relay terminal #87a and the cut wire going back to the switch.
G) Install a wire between relay terminal #30 and the cut wire going to the motor.
H) Reconnect power and test factory switch, then test button ‘a’ to verify proper unlocking of rear 
passenger door.
