Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and own a mitsu Pajero exceed '99. I'm looking to add the keyless remote entry to the car as currently have to manually turn key on drivers side. Becomes quite frustrating! Can anyone guide me as where I should look to buy the necessary parts and what the process would be for installing it?

Thanks all!

Mine's a 1996 MkII so maybe a bit different to yours.

I bought a cheap alarm with central locking HERE

It has 2 wires that goes to the central locking module which on mine is behind the plastic side panel next to the driver's foot, just in front of the door.

If I remember correctly there are two wires on the module that connect to the two wires on the alarm. If it doesn't work the first time then just swap the wires over.

The alarm was cheap at less than £25 but it has worked faultlessly for three years now.

They also sell just the central locking system without an alarm.

Don't be fooled how cheap these are - they work fine. The buttons on the remote break after about 2 years but they sell new remotes for about a fiver.

Welcome to the club!

Very easy to fit keyless entry to a Pajero. You'll need a kit such as the ones from this website and also a door lock solenoid such as this one.

If you take off the door card from the driver's door, you'll see metal rods that connect the key barrel and the button on the top to the lock itself. Fit the solenoid to the convenient bit of metal at the bottom corner of the door and clamp its rod to the rod from the button so it can push and pull the button up and down as required to lock or unlock the door. Then run the wires from the solenoid through into the footwell. Locate a suitable permanent 12V and ground supply (plenty around the fusebox area), and the indicator wires (from the stalk). Connect the keyless entry control box to those wires and the solenoid as shown in the instructions that come with it, and fix the module somewhere under the dashboard (they come with a big sticky pad, so any flat surface will do). Job done Smile

Optionally most kits also have outputs for closing the windows or unlocking the boot (on a saloon/hatchback) - you can wire these up if you like. I've never done the windows on a Pajero, but I suspect it'll need a couple of extra relays.

I will have to take a pic but it probably won't be until the weekend when I will have a bit of time.

No problem

quick question, could this alarm be connected to the mirrors to auto fold them in/out as well as to activate the central locking? and if so, any idea how?

Cheers

Andrew

Never tried to do that - I'm in the habit of folding them every time I park.

Regarding folding mirrors, awhile ago someone posted a very detailed step by step guide on how to wire mirrors so that each time ignition was turned off mirrors folded in and visaversa when key was inserted in ignition. I was not brave enough to try it as I am carp at electrics, but would pay good money to get someone else to do it for me Wink

It can't be too difficult to do - just needs a relay to replicate what the switch does.

I'll put it on the list !

Still wiring a reversing camera, incident recorder and subwoofer into my new head unit.

And my central locking has gone iffy Shocked

Wiring info as promised last week:

The central locking has two wires behind the triangular kick panel next to the driver's right foot.

They are in this connector - sorry about the insulating tape - but you can see the two yellow wires from the alarm.

The two wires you are looking for are Black/Red (Lock wire) and Black/Blue (Unlock wire)

Earthing one locks the car - earthing the other unlocks it. Test this by earthing one then the other, before you go any further.

The wiring diagram for my alarm shows:

First job is to earth the white and the white/black (common) wires

Connect the Yellow/Black to the Black/Red (Lock) wire

Connect the Yellow to the Black/Blue (Unlock) wire

Test locking with the fob - if the unlock button make it lock then swap over the Yellow and Yellow/Black wires
