The switch plug is tied back behind the Instrument Cluster along with the one for the fuel door release(that is also doable to if you can be bothered and you get a door of a sedan or wagon - the latch points on the fuel door are different between the ute and sedan/wagon).You need to get a plug C396 off a sedan to steal the violet pin(84) out of the plug as it is not installed in the ute(the connectors are AMP so you could possibly get one from an auto electrician). My wrecker had a front cut and the plug you need is part of the loom that is cut when the chassis is split so that was part one sorted.I pulled out the cluster and fed the plugs down to the switch. I then grabbed the switch and removed the fuel release switch as I wouldnt be needing it, and fitted a blank off the BA ute from below the driving light switch. You then plug in the boot switch and tape back the other plug to prevent rattles and fit the assembly into the dash.Next you remove the RH kick panel and undo the orange connector C396 and take the Lidlok open wire(Red) and disconnect it from the Common Door Unlock(Red-Yellow) and solder it to the pin off the violet wire in the sedan plug removed earlier. You then fit the pin back into the empty slot(84) in the ute plug and reassemble the connector. Refit your trim.Finaly, you pair the sedan remote to your car using the procedure in your owners manual and that's it! (Note - you need to pair all remotes for the car each time you do this procedure or the others will not work until you redo them....)My Lidlok now opens off the boot switch in the dash and the boot release on the remote. It also locks off the remote lock key and the button on the ICC as it used to. I will probably do a instruction sheet with photos once I get back to work next week so I can PDF it and make it a sensible size. I think this is a better way of wiring it up as the lid can be unlocked separately to the doors and vise-versa.The best part is that the parts only cost $50 from the wrecker. I have connected to the car and there are no codes generated so it would appear that the BEM does not expect a reply from the Boot Ajar when the Boot Unlock is used.

And I had only just convinced myself that I shouldn't be so lazy and just put up with the keyed locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
