Yes, the rocker switch on the driver’s door will lock all the doors. What I was referring to is manually pushing the lock pins down on the driver’s and passenger door, and then the button on the slider.
Could you add another locking switch (like the one on the drivers door) elsewhere in the vehicle by piggybacking off of its wires?
I believe you can. There’s a thread somewhere about it. I seem to recall it has a resistor value one way and a different one the other way, therefore using only 2 wires to do the job.
That’s not the post about adding a internal tailgate switch, is it? If not then cheers, as having another would help when the bed is out and the seats are swivelled
No, it’s the lock/unlock rocker on the driver’s door. I’d like to fit one but haven’t got round to it. You’d only really need a “lock” option in the back anyway as you could double pull to open.
I believe you can just tap into the tailgate handle and run a momentary switch in parallel to make an internal tailgate switch.

This maybe a good use for these switches Capacitive Touch Switches
I think by trial and error, we discovered that pushing the lock button TWICE on the key fob seems to lock the van but disable the alarm.
But like others, we don't lock it on a campsite - only when wild.

You can risk locking yourself out with this method. we use the lock/unlock button on the inside of the driver's door when sleeping.
A second remote "lock press" also disables the DEAD LOCKING.
Sorry but am I missing a trick here.....
Push the central locking button by the mirror adjuster... doors lock...take keys out of ignition and go to bed...
Red lights by the lock button don’t flash but all doors seem to be locked...no deadlock or alarm.

This is the best method and the one I use.
The double press on the fob has a risk of locking yourself out.
What's wrong with the method that I use?

Unsure if deadlock is active but the alarm has never triggered.
Note: Key fob has never left my trouser pocket since I used it to unlock the van from the outside therefore the key is not in the ignition when I press the locking button.
Should I be using the Alby42 method?

That is the same method...
So what does this mean? Everything's still locked but dead locks aren't active? How secure is it without the dead locks?
