I took off the door pannels to discover vacume actuaters, (not sure of the correct term) but can't find a rocker switch in the car. Did ford put the vacume controllers in the doors, and didn't offer it as an option? Can I just get the rocker switch I found on E-Bay? Does my 65 have the switch in an other place. I don't have her up and running yet, and can't get everything to work,yet. I'm in talks with a local installer of alarms, and he tells me that I can get remote entry, if I have the vacume locks. Am I going to have to find new/used parts, for all the compenents? Thanks. | ||

It is located on the instrument panel below the air vent controls. | |||

Well, just went to pics of her, and don't see anything. Did the power window controlls have a lock out switch? My friend says that that must be it. I dissagree, but who knows? | |||

Thanks Josnuff. Took my friend to see that I was looking in the wrong place. I thought that it was under the heater/air, controlls. And I guess it would explain the "D" on it. I sure have a lot to learn. I'm sure I will be getting my manuals, and all from John, soo. Peace | |||

I don't think a remote control on the door locks is possible since they are operated by vacuum. | |||

Thanks again Josnuff. I'm under the same impression, but I found a place out here that's trying to figure out how to do that, with a 66. He's going to get with me on that. And I took the piece that holds the door switch, and cleaned/painted all the bezals. They were in bad shape, with a lot of pitting. So I painted the sides, black, and left the front edged chrome. It looks great. Again, thanks for telling me where to look. I almost bought a switch, and all the compnents. That would have been funny, to say the least. Peace. | |||
