Smartlock system Ford Falcon 1994

Answer 1

The XG smart lock unit is located beside and below the central heater controls in the dashboard. Remove the heater knobs and switches, also the plastic facia, radio and ashtray. Behind them is a U shaped mount bracket which you must remove too (tis a simple operation). Now, you need to remove the glove box compartment also.

Once done, there's a compartment between where the ashtray was and the lower passenger side glove box (nearest the centre console btw) ...get a torch and look inside this as there's a smallish hole (inch by and inch and roundish) directly in the front of this compartment which hides within it the smartlock module.

Now the bad part... they were fitted without access to remove them. So simply cut away a hole it will fit through (5 inches long and 4 inches wide) on the astray side and beside where the module is positioned within. Once done, you'll see two screw plugs fitted with screws to maintain the mount onto which the SL module is riveted. Use a pair of long nosed plier and simply wind the tips of the screws in the loosening direction... remember, you're working backwards as the screw heads are from the inside to the outside of the dash front. They will both remove to a point where you can simply and easily pop the screw plugs too and out comes the whole unit, brackets and all!

You'll need to giggle it at angles to get it through the hole.
