[Chrysler300] Power Locks-1963-Imp, only & 1964 all =Fire By Wire

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

>From the 1964 Chrysler Service Manual:  

POWER EQUIPMENT

ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS

The electric door lock is operated by a push-pull

double action solenoid attached by a connecting rod

to the door latch locking lever. By pressing the single

pole double throw switch mounted on the right and

left front door trim panel, a solenoid in each of the

four doors is actuated, moving the latch locking lever

into the lock or unlock position.

All doors may be locked or unlocked either mechanically

or electrically. To lock mechanically push

the front door handle to the forward position and

depress the rear door locking button. To lock electrically

depress the switch to lock or lift upward to unlock

the doors.

 

The wiring diagram includes a diagram showing the switches in the front
doors connected to a door lock relay that then feeds solenoids in all four
doors.

 

The options list shows the power door locks available on all 4-drs and
retailing for $56.00

 

The 1963 Chrysler Service Manual indicates a similar system to be available
on the Imperial, only.

John,

Sounds like the changeover to electric was from '64 to '65. It would make
sense since the basic body shell (and first unibody) was used from 1960
through 1964. The sheetmetal changes from the Virgil Exner influence on the
'60, '61 and '62, and the Elwood Engle influence on the '63 and '64 were
quite major. I think Engle should have spelled his name with an A (Angle)
since most of his work was rather straight and angular. Exner was the
flamboyant one. The '65 was a totally new design.

I have a 1964 New Yorker Salon (they were all four-doors) with vacuum door
locks.
