1957 Camaro Project Keyless Entry / Shaved Door Handles
Once the various problems were sorted out on Camaro I began to prepare it for the kit conversion. Having already decided to not have exterior door handles I installed at shaved door handle kit. The kit included a 5 channel keyless entry module. I chose the channels to be:
-
1. Unlock Doors
-
2. Lock Doors
-
3. Open Drivers Door
-
4. Open Passenger Door
-
5. Open Trunk
Since this 1995 Camaro Z28 came with factory keyless entry I had to remove it and tie in to the wiring already in place. Besides the keyless entry module I needed 5 relays to get the functions to work the way I desired. The factory module is located behind the passenger kick panel. Since I had a lot of work to do in that area I chose to remove the glove box and a couple other trim panels. 
As can be seen in the photo a jumble of wires were needed to be installed and connected to various circuits in the car.
After removing the interior door panels and raising the windows I was able to install the solenoids that pull the door latch open. 
I disconnected the exterior door handle rod and removed it. A custom bent rod went in its place to connect to the solenoid. The door unlatch reliability but did not open if the car was on a slight hill. To solve this I installed a spring loaded door popper. Finding a place to install it was a challenge because the body is doubled walled at the jamb. The problem was solved by drilling from both sides to provide clearance for the popper.
