Lock Conversion Relays (LCRs)
Lock Conversion Relays are designed to inhibit the unlock button from functioning unless the key is in the ignition. This will prevent a theif from breaking a front window, opening the door and pressing unlock to gain easy access to the van’s cargo area. Keep in mind not every van needs LCRs. You must check your van to see how your locks function. We encourage you to watch the “How to test your van” video below.
