No this will not work because the tolerance will be +/- 110 ohms. What you can do is take a smaller resistor and wire it in parallel with the 2.2kohm resistor to drop the resistance. Using a 150 or 200 ohm will drop it within range of the required amount.

So for the 180 ohm connection, would a resistance of 175-6 work? That is running 2 resistors in parallel and I have it there. But on the diagram it says to run between 180-210. Thanks again.

BTW, did you ever take care of the "No Accessory" problem you posted earlier?

Here's a hint I discovered the hard way, whenever the Pink/White ignition wire sees a load before remote starting, say for example a coil of a relay, it adds this resistance value to the value in the key barrel. What you get is a vehicle that starts just fine but the accessories don't come on! 2004 Caravan Remote start - Page 3 -- posted image.

This is why we use the groundout and the crank signal when doing the second start relay rather than tapping on to the ignition wire. 2004 Caravan Remote start - Page 3 -- posted image.

There . . . now you know.

Everything is now working the way it should except the door locks and the parking lights. The only reason they are not connected is because I don't have the resistors for them right now. Also, just curious which wires are for the door locks coming off the BCM. It has the seperate door locks for the driver and the rest, but I am not worried about hooking up that feature. Thanks again guys.

For the doorlocks, you could try using the 2200 ohm resistor. I've found that even though most wiring info says 5% tolerance, you can go outside that range a bit and it will still work properly.

As far as the actual doorlock motor leads, they are also run off of the BCM. I know they are slightly heavier gauge wires and I seem to remember them being tan with stripes and in the top connector at the BCM. There should be one driver's unlock motor lead, one passenger doors unlock motor lead, and a lock motor lead for all doors.

Need a little bit more help with my 2004 Caravan. I noticed tonight that while pressing the brake, the left brake light acts like a strobe light somewhat. What I mean is that about ever 3-5 seconds, it will slightly flash one time. It does not go all the way out, but just makes a quick flash, and it is only the left side, not the right. Also, when I arm the alarm, it says that a door is open, but there is no door open.

Also, I am curious at how to hook up the parking lights. Do I need to use a relay, or can I just tap into the parking light wire (WHITE/ tan) at the light switch and put in the proper resistor. Thanks for the help.

Parking Lights: WHITE/ brown (+) In the driver’s kick panel. THere are (2) WHITE/ brown wires so each must be tested to ensure proper connection.No resistor's or relays required for this connection.
