passenger one works but you need to put pressure on catch would rather just press the button and voila they open rather than leaning on door etc

My solenoids were £12 and they work really really well.
Sometimes it not opening is a problem with the button.

if its pulling the handle inside you need to change the rod its using as it takes less pulling, thats what i did anyway.

it only pulls the handle half way, as the solenoid only actually pulls in half the distance it should

i have a special lead to jump start mine, so as soon as i connect a battery to a plug i have on the outside of the car and disarm the alarm the door will open.

theres another rod in there somewhere, dont remember which one its been so long since i did it, but i had this problem solnoid was trying to pull but inside handle only opened a tiny bit and couldnt pull the rest, theres another rod that if you pull on it, it will open the door but doesnt move the inside handle

Nice one guys... I think I might steal Chumbly's idea with the side repeaters too... My dtm's look messy as at the moment because of those indicators they fit on them

passenger door pulls inside handle and works fine

im pretty sure no matter what alarm you have (just need to check wiring diagram) you can rig up a relay to cut all power to the switches when the alarm is armed, this is what i have done

i may look into getting this done. so the buttons would work aslong as the alarm is deactivated and wouldnt when alarm is on, would be better than a time delay i feel
