I have my remote start and keyless entry working, all except the Air Conditioner. I am guessing I missed an accessory wire? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most 2002 Dodge Rams have 2 accessory wires in the ignition harness.......the colors should be BLACK/ white and blue.  You will need to connect the accessory wire from the alarm to both of the wires in order for the AC to work.  The second of the two wires will require a relay.

Let me know if your uncertain how to hook this up and I will send you the specs.

My alarm has two wires for accessory. I hooked up accessory 1 from alarm to
1st accessory to truck and second to each. Can you send me the specs and I
will double check? Any other ideas?

This is were the relay comes into play, because AC is usually requires high current.  This is also very typical if you have a front and a rear unit that operate seperate from one another.

Do you want the vehicle specs. or the relay specs.

take a relay and hook the RED / brown wire up to twelve volts, hook the black wire to the ribbon cable color of the accessory wire on the remote start(in most cases orange, and then hook the yellow up to the 2nd accessory wire.....if these colors arent on your relay...lemme know ill tell u what pins to hook up

you will need 2 seperate relays, one for the green and one for the orange.  take pin 87, hook it to fused 12 volts.  pin 86, fused 12 volts.  pin 85, needs to be a ground only when the remote starter is running the engine.  And pin 30, goes to the green and orange wires.  just dont forget to use a relay for each wire.

Thanks that worked great. I have another problem. When I unlock/lock the doors all that blinks is the dashboard, the parking lights don't flash.
However if I have the key to the on position, the lights flash.

Wow, that's weird ?? If you add 12 volts to the parking light wire of the RS, does the parking lights turn on ? Try this and post your results.

oh... also the lights run when the truck is started... do you still want me to test the power to the wire?

Yes, test the wire with the truck off. It should not matter if the truck is on or not if you are to add 12 volts to this wire, the parking lights will still turn on.
