How to Install Central Locking on the Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 141, MK 1 - Years 1980-2003
Part: Key

There are kits available on the market that allow you to install central locking on vehicles that do not have it as standard. The kit consists of two actuators and corresponding rods to control the opening and closing of the door lock. It also includes a control unit and a remote. The control unit can be positioned under the driver's side mat near the bonnet release lever, and from there, you can route the actuator cables through the existing holes in the doors. Then, remove the interior panels of the doors and secure the actuators to the bodywork. Be careful when securing the actuator pin that controls the door lock using the screws provided in the kit.
