Adding Power Locks to a Sport - Success !

[Patsfan5433]

Just wired everything up and the switches work now. So seems everything works. Thanks all.

Attaching the spreadsheet I used.

Could be a market for "plug n play" connectors. $$$

and yet another question. did you run the wires from the drivers side xy315 to the passenger xy650? or did you use the passenger side xy315?
TIA

 

[Enclavet]

I ran the wires to the driver's side. Don't think there is a XY315 in the passenger side.

Curious if anyone was ever able to get the tailgate locks working. Looking to tackle that next. Judging from the diagrams 2 wires might be required from XY551A to XY511A.

Do you have diagrams ?(!!!). .... Only ever been able to work it out based on the connectors.

I've added the actuators and the wiring harness in the tailgate but I'm missing wiring somewhere. XY511A was my next place to look and trace from. Unfortunately, my Gladiator is in the shop running down another random electrical issue so I'm stuck until I get it back.

Hey guys. I'm new here and have been reading through this thread. Awesome information! I have a 2023 Gladiator sport and am wanting to add power and proximity. All seems straight forward until it comes to the custom wiring.

Couple of questions if I may,

Any new developments on the custom wiring that may be required for 2023 and newer? Anyone selling this pre-made by chance?

I'm assuming there is a lot of standing on your head to reach the connectors to patch in...

How is the function of the locks working out? Any glitches, etc. Can you also lock with proximity?

To be sure, are there any parts needed, other then the wiring harnesses, jumpers, latches, and switches listed in the OP for the 2023? No controllers, etc?

Not that I'm aware of. @Enclavet did the 2023 work and seems to have figured all the custom wiring out. We seem to be a pretty rare group to do this work, nobody that I'm aware of has built pre-made harnesses for sale.

I'm assuming there is a lot of standing on your head to reach the connectors to patch in...

Yep.... often easier to just pull the front seats.

How is the function of the locks working out? Any glitches, etc. Can you also lock with proximity?

Working great, no glitches so far and yes, you can both lock and unlock with the proximity handles. I still haven't had time to figure out the tailgate wiring.

To be sure, are there any parts needed, other than the wiring harnesses, jumpers, latches, and switches listed in the OP for the 2023? No controllers, etc?

No controllers are needed. You do need a Tazer or JSCAN etc to do the programming. If you don't have the body harnesses (seems unlikely in a 2023) you will need some wire and the pins to insert into the existing connectors. Enclavet had some luck tracking down the correct pins.

still a struggle with my 23 willys. The speed locks are working (auto lock and unlock). My drivers side front and rear door ajar is not working ( tested the wires from the door to the bcm, so no bent pins at the door. Lock/Unlock drivers switch not working (only installed 1 on the drivers side) Waiting for my Prox handles to arrive and hoping that ties everything together. still being positive that i can get it all to work.

So.. this is still a work in progress but here's where I am so far.

My 2020 Sport has full body harnesses running to the doors so I started with the assumption that there was some way to add OEM Power Locks.

Benny over at @AllMoparParts.com set me up with the basic door harnesses and the powered latches:

Add to that the two lock switches

Left Door - 6AC61DX9AC
Right Door - 6AC64DX9AC

And the jumper harnesses

Left/Drivers = 68351129AD
Right/ Pass = 68351131AC

The wiring is basically the same as the JL. Lots of examples floating around including this thread:
https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/installed-power-door-locks-to-my-jl-sport.16398/

Wired it all in and enabled "power locks" using ALFAOBD and voila .... the lock switches work and I can instruct the doors to lock and unlock using the BCM commands.

So that just leaves a remote key of some sort.... And I'm trying to keep it OEM and avoid splicing in an aftermarket alarm for the door controls.

I ordered a black three button key (lock/unlock/alarm) and after some frustration and a call to a locksmith who could retrieve the PIN, I could program the key but the buttons don't work. I suspect that's because the Sport doesn't actually have the receiving components in the RFHub.

I also tried ordering a Remote Starter kit.. that comes with a new RFHub and two keys. Swapped that in (breaking a bunch of plastic on the rear interior trim in the process). Sadly... I can't retrieve the required PIN to marry the new RFHub with the jeep. ALFAOBD retrieves a pin but its not the right one. Sadly the locksmith I use for the first key needed the car in RUN to pull the pin.. So he can't pull the PIN from the new hub since you can't turn on the Jeep yet... So, I while I think that will still work, I'd probably have to breakdown and find a dealer that was willing to do the install and program the various sales options needed. The first couple I talked two won't do it .. "Sport can't have remote start".... I've seen a couple of threads with people starting this process but never heard the results...

Now, while I was playing with ALFAOBD, I noticed there is a function to location your key fobs ... Sure enough that works.... more interesting, it appears my Gladiator has sensors in the B pillars and the Jeep is able to detect a key fob outside the door. This leads me to believe the passive door handles might actually work and since the door harnesses above are the same ones used with passive handles, I've ordered a passive handle to see how that works... Should be here Tuesday.

Stay tuned to another installment of "how to make a Sport a Sport S" .......

First, let give you a big thank you! I just finished mine and your instructions were perfect. I changed out the door wiring harnesses and latches with the OEM ones from your parts list. However, I used an aftermarket alarm for keyless entry and haven’t figured out how to get the door switches to work, it only works with the aftermarket fobs. Any suggestions as to how to wire the switches at the door connector? I’d appreciate the help.

If you have the doors working with the aftermarket fobs then I think that's all you are going to get. The switches and and the proximity handles work off the Canbus .. they send a signal to the body computer which then sends the lock/unlock back to the locks. I'm guessing you've bypassed that by splicing in to the lock/unlock with the aftermarket alarm.

 

[danowhit]

Thanks for the response, I didn’t splice in but I had to add pins at the door connector which the go to the lock and unlock of the aftermarket unit. I was thinking I’d have to add connections to power the switch but maybe not?

It might be possible.. but yes, you'd need to add some more pins. It depends on your aftermarket alarm .. if it has inputs for some sort of switch then maybe it will work.

I went the same route as you on an 2014 JK. The little Vipre unit I had didn't have any way to tie back in the door switches so I never figured it out.

 

[danowhit]

Okay, makes sense. I’ll let you know if I figure it out but thanks again for your post!

 

[JTruck23]

I got too focused on just the door and wasn’t looking at the door panel. Drivers side is installed, toughest part was pulling the trigger to cut a hole in the panel for the door lock switch. On to the passenger and back doors.

Is there a blank or something on the back side of the door panel that gives an indication of where to cut the hole?

Nope .... I used the switch as a template, purposely made the hole smaller and then worked my way around trimming carefully until it fit
