Keyless entry wiring

Hello I have a keyless entry system I'm installing into my 1985 sport camaro and was wondering if there's a specific power wire I should tap into since I can't seem to find a harness for a 85

The fuse-box should have a "BAT" slot or 2 ready and waiting to be used; the schematic below is for an 85 Camaro. You just have to find a fuse-block connector for it, many early 80's - early 90's GM's used these things so that's what to look for in the local junkyards.




Wire will be ORANGE and the BAT plug itself will be black and look like this:

I think I had to put one of those in when I put in power windows it ran from the fuse box to the distribution block is it the same thing?

You could 'tap' into power from the distribution box too,....... just need to use a different plug.

Re: Keyless entry wiring

Would anyone know where the wires for the parking lights under the dash are?

Re: Keyless entry wiring

Depends on the car you're working on. Since this thread is about keyless entry,.... you should start a new thread.
