It may be easier to get an aftermarket universal kit than trying to break into the factory wiring loom.
Have a look round e-bay for an idea of whats out there. you should be looking for something that comes with all the solenoids and remote fobs.
I've got a feeling this could be quite an involved job. Fiddling around in the doors with the lack of space isn't much fun.
The plus side of stripping a scrapper is you get to see how it all came apart before working on your own car
Good luck.
Let me get this straight.You want to put power locks in your car?? Why??
you need all the solenoids off the doors and the boot, the wiring should be in your car already but check.
you also need the main control unit, and there should be a plastic thing on the back of the door lock, get this as well.
dont forget once its in and powered you will need put the fuse in the fuse box, check wiring is there too.
Never heard of anyone fitting central locking to a car that hasn't come with it. You shouldn't have bought the bog standard model. If it hasn't come fitted with central locking, you can't put it now. Next time buy a car with central locking fitted as standard. You could fix one if its broken, but not install a new system itself, its connected to ignition and as to be made that way.

i gather you are having a laugh.. a p reg escort?? it would cost you more than the cars worth. honestly if you are considering such a thing i would advise scrap the car and buy one with it as standard
My Advice? Scrap it!
go to a breakers find a car like yours,try and check that it all works then strip all the door cards and trace from the door switches back but trust me it relay is not worth the aggro BIG JOB
