adding switch for door locks 850 1995

my 95 850 sedan didn't come with the switch on the dash that locks the doors. how hard is it to add this? is there something pre-wired that the switch would just clip into and then go into the dash? I have the remote to lock/unlock and the key, but if you are in the car, the only way to lock is to hit the locks in the doors ( the things you pull/push up/down). does anyone know about this?
thanks.

I got help on this one Here goes.

1 Locate the harness coming from driver door. You will have to take off the lower steering column cover.

2. Locate the Yellow /Grey Wire
Red /Grey Wire
Black Wire

3. On the Switch itself attach the Pink Wire to the headlight switch which also has a pink wire.

4. Attach the Black / Brown wire to the headlight switch to the Black / D Brown Wire.

5. The Black wire on the switch goes to the ground on the door lock motor which is on the loom in step # 1

6. The Yellow/ Grey (lock) wire attaches to the lock wire on the switch

7. The Red/ Grey wire(unlock)wire attaches to the unlock wire on the switch

I hope you get a response that is helpful, I really want to add a switch too.
It seems to me to be a poor design to leave off a switch for controlling the lock. Also, how does one lock the doors before exiting the car without turning on the alarm? My procedure is to open the drivers door, then lean over and lock the passengers door before getting out. I wish that I could just open the drivers door and push down the lock and lock all the doors! I guess it won't do that for fear you might lock your keys in.

Peace,
Rick
