"can anyone out there with a 95+ model look up the power lock system in their manual and see how that switch is wired in and confirm that we would be doing it correctly?"
Mike 92 XLT: I can do that too.... The 95+ lock system is a little more complex. It uses relays to send 12V to the lock motors, instead of the lock switch controlling the motor (the switch sends the 12V to it). Therefore the switches are a little different, compared to the 94- system. Although don't worry, the 95+ switches can be converted to work on the 94 earlier system. This is how. (By the way, A liftgate lock switch from a 95+ will work fine.)
-Remember that Black/White constant 12 Volt wire that you can find under the dash, In the 94 and earlier system, that wire goes to the switches, while in the 95+ system, it goes to the Relays.(which are controlled by the switches) Even though the 95+ switches serve a different function than the 94- switches, they still can be converted to work!!
Here is how:
A 95+ switch will have three wires attached to it:
PK/Y - to door lock relay system
PK/LG - to door unlock relay sytem
Black - to ground connection <------
A 94 & earlier switch looks like this:
PK/O - lock (to motor)
PK/BK - unlock (to motor)
BK/W - Constant 12 Volt<-----------
So, if you wanted to make this 95+ liftgate switch work, you would have to use the BK/W wire from the 94- system and hook it up to the ground wire on the 95+ switch. (making sure the switch does not touch any ground source.) And then match up the different locks and unlocks color codes, that I have given above! (now use my previous relply to see where you connect this switch in to!)
This is WAY easier than it sounds!!
I am just trying to give a little background lesson on how the two different systems operate. (and that is differently!)
Let me know if you have any questions.
