 Installing a 4th Gen Keyless Entry to Your 3rd Gen Fbody

 

Here is how the 1995 TRW Keyless Entry system got mounted into my 1984 Camaro Berlinetta.  The Power lock system is a little different on the later years so some info my not be accurate for 89? and up cars.  Berlinettas also have "timed" courtesy lights.  In order to tap into your courtesy lights you will need to tap into that system using a different color wire.  ( C2 Pin D will probably go to White rather then my purple ! )

Here is a picture of the 1995 Keyless entry system.  Don't be discouraged by the picture of the truck on the key FOB.....  I had this one installed in my 91 Blazer Sport.  The "Correct" key fob with be of the same exact style - but it will have a picture of a car on it !

** Hatch Cargo Light; In the early ThirdGens the cargo light did not work along with the courtesy lights and was only controlled by a switch on the rear hatch trim panel.  To connect the Hatch Cargo light to the Courtesy Light system splice the Purple Courtesy wire ( Probably White or possibly Orange wire on a "regular" Camaro ! ) to the Hot wire on the cargo light switch.  When this is done during the keyless entry install the user can push the hatch button on the key FOB and the hatch will open and the light will be automatically turned on for you.
 

**  This wiring description will cause BOTH doors to unlock/lock on your ThirdGen when the Key FOB is pushed. It can only be used with the factory TRW set-up to unlock the drivers side with one push,... or both locks with 2 pushes of the button.  This is inly possible if the factory thirdgen power lock system is modified so that each lock solenoid is wired independently.
 

 

Here are the wiring schematics for the 1985 Camaro Door Lock & the 1995 Z28 Keyless Entry for reference !  If you click an image than it will open "full sized" for you !
