            Edwin, you noob, there is no such thing as a driver doorlock actuator for the 1st gen Protege. Canada may be an exception with the 95 BG's, but in the US, no. Unless your talking about taking one out of another door....as that, i'm not sure about.

            Escorts, i'm not sure about either, but most EGTs did not have power door locks. So, you may be able to use a 95 or 96 Escort 4dr actuator, as i *think* they had a true power doorlock system.

            the 1st gen Protege has a stupid semi-central system, the physical button/rod you push on, just activates a switch to feed the doorlock relay which feeds the other 3 doors.

            An aftermarket actuator is only like $15 retail.

            that diagram is from the EFSM, a handy dandy manual to have indeed hard to find, but ebay is where i found mine.

                So if you're converting from manual locks would it make more sense just to use aftermarket stuff instead of raiding the junkyard?

                  depends on how true the OEM game you are If you just want power locks, then ya, it may be cheaper, but at the same time, they'll take alot more effort to install.

                    I am not true to the OEM game at all... I want power locks and that's all I care about. Honestly I would be happy to have something a little more unique. What's so difficult to install? I was looking at some on ebay and all the aftermarket ones are two wires (that I saw anyway) so I could probably just run speaker wire through the door grommet, which I want to do anyway for my speakers.

                      the hard part (which really isn't all *that* hard) is bending the rods so they (A) have a linear flow (B) do not bind (C) do not stress the motor and (D) aviod as best you can NOT to mount the motor at the bottom of the door where water can get to it. Most are sealed for just this, some better than others but why tempt it.

                      sure, 14awg speaker wire would be best to use. It can be a bit of a bitch to get through the plastic connectors in the front door boots tho.

                      Yes, some are 2 wire and some are 5 wire. The 2 wire is what you'll want. Remember, you'll also need 2 relays and need a switch and/or an alarm to control them.

                      In fact, depending on when you plan to do this, i might be able to snap a few pics of an Accord i'll be doing next week. Atleast it will give you a good idea on how to do it.

                        are there any tools that can be recommended for seperating those bitchy plastic connetors?

                          Figuring out how to wire it won't be difficult... I'm good at that sort of thing. I am planning on using my alarm that I bought so long ago for control, but I would like to have a button mounted somewhere in the car as well (not sure where yet, I don't think I want it in the stock location). I haven't looked at the lock assembly itself yet though, so I don't know how hard it would be to get them working properly. I'm assuming that I would be able to tell if it weren't while I'm installing it though, right? So I could just test it until it worked and then move on to the next door?

                          Also, all the universal fit ones I found on ebay range from $1 to $4 apiece... why so cheap and is it even worth it?
