keyless entry on volvo 88' 760 turbo 700 1988

You've probably been fed some misinformation. In order for remote unlock to work, I think that you need the regular locks to work also. Ok, maybe you don't. But I think it would be a bad idea to try to rig up remote locking without the locks working in the first place. What a remote unlock system does is piggy backs itself onto what the thing that you pull from inside the car to unlock the doors. I don't know what 'vaccuum actuated' door locks means, but there is magnet (doorlock actuator technically i think) that connects to the lock/unlock bar that you can pull from the inside. In my 86 740 gle, all doors have this magnet except the drivers door. That's why when you unlock the car from the drivers door, all the doors unlock. In order for remote unlock to work, you need the driver's door to have the magnet hooked up just like the rest of the doors. There are already mounting holes, u just need a magnet thing from a parts car. When you supply power to the magnet, it will be just like you were unlocking the drivers door from the inside and all the doors will unlock. You hook up the keyless entry so that it supplies power to the newly installed magnet (doorlock actuator) and it works.

If any of this is unclear I'll try to clarify.
