I would like to add power locks to my 1992 Capri N/A.  At the present time I have the parts for the right door (actuator and latch) but not for the left (driver's side) door.  What else do I need?

Check out Dakota Digital. They should have every thing you need. The prices aren't the cheapest but they have it all.

This link should get you started.

I haven't had the doors apart much, I have never had the passenger door apart. But if the drivers side can be set up the same as the passenger side you might be able to get the parts off a parts car/junk yard from the passenger side and mount to the drivers side. There has to be a sensor on the drivers side to detect if it is locked or not. Maybe this can be replaced with an actuator. Then all you would need is the remote sensor and remote and probably a relay.

Just to help out a bit I did this research before when I was considering installing remote latches to my car.

Should help a bit, and bulldog security also sells the actuators.

I put in a system in my black 93 xr2 similar to this ebay item...

The actuators are universal, just fasten them in place, then connect to the plunger with the universal connections.  This system is nice because its a USA company, the door key will unlock the other door, as well as using the remote (and an installation dvd!)

Both my doors unlock when I use the key on the driver's door.  As long as the power switch is set to ON, and the battery is connected.     But yea, after changing out my front speakers 2 days ago there is a heap of room under those door cards for anything you want to add, what scares me is when I plan to replace my speaker wires and have to feed through that tiny hole.

[blueamber]

Yeah, speaker wires will fit through those holes, I'm working on mounting a pair of 6" OZ brand speakers in the doors, or rather in and on the doors, since they won't fit flush.

The remote door locks system is so nice, I also have the power trunk release installed.  

I bought an Audiovox system off Amazon for about $25, 2 remotes and everything I needed except had to add my own relays to power the actuators.  Instructions said I didn't need to, but I had a bunch of 30 amps ones laying around so used them.  Only thing missing is an inner switch to lock/unlock manually, but I don't miss that...

You only need to add the actuator to the drivers side.....The passenger one will lock & unlock with the drivers door.
