Power door locks

[AZPete]

I installed the donor power locks actuators to the door latches and a controller from Amazon (Docooler Car Remote Central Lock”, $16.99). There are two key fob remotes. I mounted the lock control module under the hood on the left side with its 12" antenna hidden. It works from at least 50 feet away, maybe further.

Wiring:
• Orange – ground
• White – to “close” (white, top post on actuator)
• Yellow – 12 volt power (“battery” fuse block)
• Orange/black – ground
• White/black – to “open” (blue, bottom post on actuator)
• Yellow/black - 12 volt power (“battery” fuse block)
• Black – ground
• Red - 12 volt power (“battery” fuse block)
• Brown – for parking lights, not used
• Brown – for parking lights, not used
• Green – for trunk release, not used

I have no key lock in either outside door handle so I added a manual unlock in case of a dead battery. I ran a narrow cable from the driver's door lock forward through the front of the door into the wheel well so I can pull it to unlock the door. It's a secret unlock so don't tell anyone!

Tnx Pete, I think I still got the actuators, although I'd prefer the door lock to be manual only. Worst case those OEM actuators with pigtail harness are about 30-50 bucks each.

Wire to the wheel well? Sounds like a familiar idea!! I like it!

@AZPete, I notice from your first image, your latch mechanism is mounted quite far inwards - the inner edge of which is almost in-line with the inner edge of the door skin.
I am mounting my door skins, and find to make it all fit, I end up with similar alignment as your picture. .

Regarding the exterior door handle - did you have to modify or lengthen the internal connecting brackets (that connected the exterior door handle to the latch mechanism)? Mine do not reach yet, so interested if you had a similar problem and found a solution.

Thanks

EDIT:
for those with similar issues, I found extending some of the various levers with thin metal brackets worked - a lot of tweaking to get the movement / geometry right, but seems like its the only way!
