[DMCForum] Re-wired lock module

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well today I followed Elvis Nocita's lock module upgrade procedure 
sucessfully.

I like his procedure over the others because it keeps all the guts 
inside the module box. Some of the others may work as well but they 
involve "outboard" relays and diodes. Elvis claims to have done 
several in this manner with excellent results.

If I understand what I'm reading correctly, heavier-duty Darlington 
transistors amplify the lock/unlock sense signals better to overcome 
the 10k ohm resistors which replaced the 1k ohm resistors. The 
purpose of the new resistors is to reduce the standby current which 
kills the battery.

I tested the module with a 12v power supply and a toggle-switch in my 
basement and it works perfectly.

My driver's side door solenoid is shot and needs to be replaced/re-
wound. Once that's done it should all work perfectly.

If the finished product works as it should, I'm willing to assist 
others for the cost of shipping and parts as time permits.
