Hi, Mike,
Although I have no experience with installing the lock
solenoids and wiring, I do have experience installing
a remote system.
I have one on my 66 Lebaron. I got it from - don't
gasp - J.C. Whitney. I have had it for 4 years and it
has worked flawlessly. It also operates the trunk
release remotely. It cost about $30. There is a
small, black key fob thing that operates the
lock/unlock sequence for the doors and unlocks the
trunk.
It is a very simple installation and should be exactly
what you need, since it bypasses the switches. Works
great on newer cars, too. I had a 90 Buick Estate
Wagon that had one of these installed on it. Again,
it worked perfectly all the time I owned the car.
