I have been working on this for a few days.
Will post when I have fully figured it out. If the linkage is to "tight" the lock will not work.

Any luck? I gabe up and decided to use the oe electric locks paired to my alarm and run a release cable if the battery dies
Just got to this stage ourselves this weekend. Did you guys figure out anything. How are you connecting the metal piece that turns when you turn the key to the actual lock mechanism in the door? They are about 2 to 3 inches apart and I don't see anything that came with the kit to connect them.

I just did one and I flipped the key cylinder upside down from the instructions, made a new straight link to replace the FFR"L" shaped link and it works great.

Could you take a couple of pictures, Wayne? I never made mine work.

Thanks Wayne!
Is that linkage screwed down tight or did you allow it to rotate freely?
