Re: Correction to door locks/zillas/solenoids

[srubano@xxxx]

I want to correct something in my last post. The vendors that sell 
the LockZilla have the OEM type harness/connectors for it in stock, 
you don't have to send them your old one. I was just made aware of 
this from another DML member. But as I said before, if both plastic 
connector housings are melted (as mine were) I would suggest getting 
the LockZilla without the OEM type connector and crip it onto the 
main harness. The Delorean vendors can instruct you on what to do.
