Is there a Mac friendly version for us IBM deprived (by my choice I

I am currently (basically finished) creating a 2 year calendar of
DeLoreans that will be at the DCO table in Cinn. (plug) for all to see
and order coppies if you like it. I also will create the same images to

Subject: DML: Doors & Locks?
The topic of door locks & stuff has got my head wondering. I'm not
one that requires the luxury of power locks. I was wondering if anyone
has or heard of normal non-power locks being installed in a DeLorean.
You know like the kind where you/ your fingers pull up the knob to
unlock & lock. Is that feesibly possible? Would this eliminate any
electrical problems of the doors keeping you locked in? Would it just
be cheeper to get the LockZilla from Mr. Grady, since that has basically
a perfect record?

MODERATOR'S NOTE: You can disconnect the power lock module in the relay
compartment to render your power locks unpowered.

The DeLorean locks already work fine in non-power mode. Just unplug
the wires from the solenoids and you have normal, non-power locks.
You should know that there are practical, non-luxury reasons why the
DeLorean has power locks.
First, the DeLorean has a wide body and a high center consol, making it
very difficult to reach across the passenger seat to lock or unlock the
door.
Second, it *is* possible for unlocked DeLorean doors to pop open on their
own. I think the factory knew this, thus the "Lock Doors" warning light at
the bottom of the A/C control panel. In over four years of using my
DeLorean as a non-winter daily driver this has happened to me only
once. While driving 65 MPH on the Ohio Turnpike, my unlocked driver's
door popped opened all by itself, scaring the bejeezus out of me!

Subject: DML: Cincinnati Dress Code
In coordinating the Trans-Ohio caravan for the DeLorean Club of Ohio,
my wife and I have been speaking to a lot of members who do not
subscribe to the DML. Every one of them has asked the same question:
"What are you and Patti wearing in Cincinnati, Mike?"
This really surprised me, since I never thought to ask the question
myself, but 100% of the couples we spoke to brought this up!
If Ken Koncelik has something special in mind, I invite him to please
respond. Otherwise, we plan to go casual all weekend. This is what
Patti and I have told everyone:
To the Friday dinner my wife and I plan to wear the same thing we will
wear when we travel, probably shorts and a nice casual shirt.
Saturday we expect to be at the museum all day, so we will not count on
a chance for a complete change of clothes between the Car Show and
dinner. During the show we will wear theme T-shirts, Patti is wearing
something called a "skort," and I will be in casual slacks. If it gets
cooler
in the evening Patti may throw a sweater over her shoulders and I might
put a Hawiian print shirt over my T-shirt.
Sunday, the warehouse *definitely* calls for rugged jeans and T-shirts.

I fixed the link to the patch for the DeLorean Desktop Theme and it
is now downloadable, If you downloaded DeLorean 95' before 6/9/98, then
you need this patch to get the backgrounds. This is the only and the

Well, There is an easy way and a hard way... The easy way is to buy a
door-pop kit from an auto parts place (i.e. JC Whitney) and install the
solinoids to basically pull the handle of the door for you. The torsion bar
and strut on the door should open it the rest of the way. The only probable
downfall could be if your t-bar/struts aren't adjusted properly (like mine)
the door opens too fast without someone guiding it up, which is bad for
the door mounts. The only other thing that I could see getting in the way
of this is the timing to pop the door -after- they are unlocked. You'd have
to rig something up to check that the doors are unlocked before the
door-pop solinoid would kick in.
The hard way would involve removing the door-latch mechanism, the
and the torsion bar, replace the gas strut, with a hydrolic cylinder that
would open/close/lock the doors. I think this is more of a pipe-dream,
and is most likely not feasable.
Good luck, and let us know how it works out, I've been wanting to do
this for a while, but I don't have the time/money to tackle it...

There is a local owner in my area that has told me he owns an 80
DeLorean. The first thing that came to mind was,"Is it a prototype?".
The answer he gave me was no. He told me that was the year it was
built. I told him it would have to be an 81 but he refuses that to even
be a chance.
MODERATOR'S NOTE: The build date of the car should be clearly marked on the
ID plate mounted on the driver's door sill directly above the rear door

Subject: DML: Re: Power doors?
Jeff,
Remote operation of the door locks is doable. Unlocking the doors
independently would involve extensive circuitry modifications and
additional relays. Remote opening and closing is also feasible but requires
very extensive work. In addition to relays, wiring, and adding a heavy duty
solenoid to each door, the door torsion bars must be re adjusted to
compensate for the additional weight. We have a "Back To The Future"
DeLorean that we contract out for cooperate special events and have done
some of these modifications.

The original relay (Fan Fail) is unique to all the other relays, it has a
plastic shell and is blue in color. The top reads "Pektron Derby England",
there are no numbers.
If you would like to get one of these let me know. By the way, these units
have a 99% failure rate, so I would not drive the car with one installed.

Mike,
The DeLorean door lock system would not be improved by pull up knobs, the
main problem is with door lock module. This component along with several
other electrical devices is of inferior quality. As you had mentioned, when
this unit is un plugged the locks work fine. PJ Grady has the Lockzilla
which is an excellent replacement to the original and allows the locks to
work properly.

Stephen,
I will assume that you no longer have a "Fan Fail Relay" this is the only
relay that should be gone. You should replace the ''Cooling Fan" and
"Blower" circuit breakers with 40 amp. replacements. Your AC short cycling
is due to insufficient freon pressure or a defective low pressure cut off
switch.

To all DMC owners,
The last month or two I have seen many posting on the subject and questions
on
gas sending units, air condition and radiator fan relay and now the door
lock
relay.
I would like to share my experiences in these areas.
This is not to push the "Zilla" product line.
This is my experiences.
There is no better product or units out in the market!!!
I have installed all of them in my Delorean.
If you can afford these units or wish to eliminate your headaches in these
areas, convert them with these units.
They are not cheap, but they are worth every penny of it.
I have replace all these ailing areas with the whole entire "Zilla" line.
They work perfectly every time in the areas they are designed to replace.
I had these unit working for 30 months.
Need I say more?
Contact PJ Grady 800-350-7429 ask for Rob or Debbie for catalog or sheets on
these great units.
Lockzilla for locks
Fanzilla for radiator fans and A/C
Tankzilla for gas gauge
There is a "NONZILLA" remanufactured Idle Computers. It works better then
the
original unit, even though Rob says there should be no difference. The
Delorean runs with just a little more pep.....just a little
more....pep.....just that little more pep.
Anyway I hope this all help everyone in search of their answers.
After replacing these units in the Delorean,
THIS IS HOW A DELOREAN SHOULD BE!

The door locks on the Delorean are not exactly "power locks" like in
american cars. The button on the armrest has a direct mechanical link
to the lock mech. THe only thing "power" about the thing is when it
is working correctly, if you lock one door, then it sends a signal to a
magnetic solenoid to pull the other lock. Even if you remove the
battery from the car, the doors will still lock/unlock. Just not together.

I agree this is a casual event.. The friday dinner would be a bit mor
"classy" but no suite and tie unless you have the great urge to do so.
saturday night shorts and a T are just fine.

I have did this on a couple of occasions but both times with the panels
removed.
You probably have an 81 car. From my observatinos, it seems that the
problem
with the windows falling out was corrected in 82 with the intallation of
retaining
clips around the edges. Also, I have noticed that the 82 cars have a
finish strip
intalled like the door glass. Does anyone know if this is true with all
82-83 cars
or just the ones I have noticed ?

Subject: DML: RE: Doors & Locks?
I have been looking over the Doors & Locks messages and
it sounds like to me that all DeLoreans have Power Locks???
If that is the case I must have the only one that doesn't or
mine are not functioning. Where is the power lock/unlock
switch in the car???
All I have is a manual lock lever on the door arm rest. Is
there any way to check this quickly (a relay, fuse, or wire
connection).

reply:
Actually the several previous replies dealing with the doors being in the
up position while driving are remarkably in error.
It's well know that driving with the doors up and accelerating to 75mph
while pulling back on the steering wheel will generate enough lift to mount
the DeLorean on an air cushion that increases mileage by 37%.

Look in your relay compartment, is one missing? If you like, pull the
door panels, you should see a solenoid in the lower rear of the door.
Also, there is a wiper switch in each door. there are three copper tits
and a copper arm. When you move the manual rocker switch in the arm
rest, the copper arm will make contact with the center tit and one or
the other outside tits. I'm not trying to be pornographic here.

There is no "Dress Code" (other than comfortable) for any of the events.
The weather forecasts for Saturday are for sunny & warm (80's).....now, if
you believe that!! The forecast for today was "sunny" and at the moment it
is raining.

Ken, For the benifit of us folks that do not live in the area, would it
be possible for you to video tape the news broadcasts for us. A copy
would be great. I would be willing to pay for the tape.

The switch is inside the door. When you move the manual lever
to lock the door, it moves a switch, which sends current to the
lock relay ( black box thats mounted on top of the metal frame in
the electical compartment) which sends a signal to the other door
and locks that door.

For those not familiar with European cars, it is not power locks on the DMC
12, it is actually "central locking." This feature as opposed to the U.S.
style power locks are on most European cars.

A well deserved break from MODERATOR DUTIES. I think that I speak for
