Default power door lock? Trailer hitch, AC?

Ok, i know three of the four have door lock solenoids, now, i also understand why there is no solenoid in the driver door, there is no one needed, however, mine is an 87, as most of you know, you can only actuate the power door locks by locking the driver door. So, my question is, did any of the 240 later models, have power locks that were actuated by the driver and passenger locks, for example, could you lock all the doors by turning the key in the passenger door? if not, does anyone know of a homemade solution to put a door lock solenoid in the driver door. I want to do keyless entry in my 240 wagon.

I got bored the other day and did a little hunting, i found a universal kit, but i dont want to do that, too much welding.

Also, what is the largest class trailer hitch i can put on the thing? i'm assuming a class 1.

Last one,

Also, i'm sure many of you have done the R12 to R134a conversion, is it worth it? Any snags/tips anyone has to offer? I would rather not go into this blind, i've got my AC certificate and all, i just want to make sure there are no know problems with it.

thanks guys

Just by a universal kit and bolt the actuator somewhere and put the ron from the actuator to the lock rod in side the door and wire that actuator to the keyless entry system. Thats how I see it done all the time.

Im not sure about the hitch.


With the A/C it isn't all that bad.Remove the R12 and if you can flush the system and install a new orface or expansion valve and install ester oil and charge with the 134a.
