8.9 ) Door Unlatch Solenoid Installation
Note:
The door unlatch solenoid comes with a large push button switch. Do not
use this switch in this installation.
Included is a heavy duty door unlatch solenoid that will give years of trouble free
use. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for installation. The solenoid
comes with an in-line 35A fuse assembly which must be installed between the
short orange wire stub on the System Power Connector and the included 15 foot
orange deployment wire.
Be sure to align the solenoid so that the pull of the piston is in a straight line with
the motion of the door unlatch mechanism. Also, be sure to avoid any part of the
window track or the linkage used in raising and lowering the window.

Placement
Note:
Cable needs to be adjusted so that door latch is fully actuated before piston
bottoms out.
Note:
Be certain to properly ground the solenoid. The door may not be a good
ground. Consider routing a separate wire from the solenoid ground wire and
attaching it directly to the vehicle chassis or body.
Note:
The above mounting location is only a suggestion for placement on a
newer-model Crown Vic. We do recommend that on a Dodge Magnum or a
Charger you locate the solenoid directly above the mid-door bracket and the
window motor on a horizontal straight line with the door lock. The Ray Allen Cruise
Eze™ door panels allow enough room for the installation of this solenoid in that
location.
