I just got a set ofstainless steel fto kick plates and for the life of me i cannot find the black plug is has to plug in to.
I know it should be near the inside fuse box.
Can you just hard wire it to the door switch?

No you can't hardwire to door switch. Black plug ? It should have come with a transformer, pcb board fuse and capacitor.

Have been looking for little black plug for like 4 hours.
I am now thinking it has been cut of when the guy installed the car alarm?
Is that possible?

I did get the transformer, pcb board fuse and capacitor with the kick plates and a little black plug with 2 wries coming out of it one green and orange and on red and black.
Can i not just find the same color wiring and do it that way.

If you've got all those bits, i think hardwiring it to the doorswitch should be fine. Just feed the board 12 volts first to find out. The fuse should protect it if it was meant to receive under 12.

All good just hard wired it in to the car. I found where the Alarm for the doors was connected and BINGO.

Do FTO's normally come with the transformer, pcb board fuse and capacitor? or would you need to have it when you get the Kick plates? because i don't have one and was just going to wire it to the door. is that ok to do?

Glad to hear you got it working.
Are you able to let me know where you got them from so i can buy a set ?

No the car doesn't normally come with those components. You need them to make it work, can't just hard wire into an existing power line without the transformer.

Lol no worries. Try wiring them into your interior lights...they only turn on when the doors are open though the wiring might have to run fairly far though. Otherwise you'll have to wire it into any 12v line but with a relay in line connected to the door switch, that should work too.
