Default To all you guys out there who have removed your power locks...

What exactly have you done? And if you have keyless entry via an aftermarket alarm of some sort, has it messed it up at all? I dont really want to hunt down some RS door handle trims. I'd rather just disable the connection to the passanger side lock and rig the drivers side one to only work when you hold down a button (just interupt the circuit with a switch). Anyone done this? Run into any problems? As for the people who have totaly removed their power locks - what have you done with the wire running to the switch?

I got the RS door handles...but if memory serves you can unplug the power lock switch from the harness rendering the switches useless. It is not bad reaching over to unlock the passengers door and I had no issues with my alarm/keyless entry.

I also replaced mine with the RS door bezels. My keyless entry still works, I just like the wire dangle in the door.

Ah, thanks. I just want the drivers side door still usable. Never know when you're gonna want to lock both doors and the trunk real fast. I'll just unplug the passanger door and interupt the drivers side door wire with a switch located in the door pocket or something.

A very easy way for thieves to gain access to your car is to reach a coat hanger down your door jam and unlock the doors by hitting the power lock button. To eliminate this some people (like myself) have installed Integra RS (which came without power locks) door handle covers.

I have a pic somewhere on this board...let me search and see if I can find it.
