According to this site, it shows for a 1998 S10 :

So I guess it looks like the White (-) wire is my door trigger? Not sure where its going to be, but I guess I can use trial and error to locate it.

Also would you say that the H1/3 connection on the DEI needs to be grounded?

H1/3 BLACK/ White - DOMELIGHT SUPERVISION RELAY #87 (IN)

Yes that is the correct diode. And on the main alarm wire harness..I believe I made a mistake and said it was the H1/3 wire.. It is actually the H1/9 wire..it is black with a white stripe. Make sure it is the same with your Avital. I am sure it is. This wire will connect to Pin 85, 30 will go to ground (preferably the same point as your alarm brain and siren ground wires), 87 Pin goes to wire that goes negative on your truck (which is White) and 86 Pin to constant 12volt. You can connect that at the same 12volts your red wire from alarm connects to. Your White door trigger wire should be at the BCM right of the accelerator below the radio area. Use a volt meter to test it to make sure it is positive when door is closed and negative when opened. You can also connect the green wire from the alarm brain to the door trigger to activate the alarm if your doors get opened. You can actually just push in the door pin to make it easier. Let me know what you find out.

ok here is my wiring schematic I wrote in Wordpad. Sorry new computer and don't feel like downloading something to make it look better. Tell me what you think. Those are the wires that my brain has. 18 total but I think I will only be using about 12 of them.

Ok this is a different wiring harness than most DEI alarms but still color coded the same. So the H1/3 87 will go to the door/dome light -trigger wire which is white on your truck.. and the H1/4 wire 30 will go to ground. Let me know if the install guide states that to be sure.

I believe that you have the H1/3 and H1/4 backwards according to the manual. It says that the H1/3 wire determines what the output polarity of H1/4 will be. The H1/4 wire goes directly to the domelight circuit in the vehicle; which I am assuming is the (-) White?

Since your working with a keyless entry and not an alarm, use tan(-) at pin B4 of the purple plug at the BCM for domelight supervision. H1/3 to ground and H1/4 to the tan wire and you'll be good

that would only monitor the driver door correct? Since the wiring says the tan is for the drivers door, and the orange is for the passenger. Or does it not matter since this is a keyless entry?

@jcs091570

This is how I was going to wire it, let me know if you see any problems with my connections.

H1/1 - 12V FUSED

H1/2 - N/A
H1/3 - GROUND
H1/4 - (-) WHITE ON DOMELIGHT
H1/5 - (+) LT.BLUE DOOR LOCK
H1/6 - N/A
H1/7 - 12V FUSED
H1/8 - (+) WHITE DOOR LOCK
H1/9 - 12V FUSED
H1/10 - (+) BROWN PARKING LIGHTS
H1/11 - GROUND
H1/12 - SHOULD I CONNECT THIS CIRCUIT?
H1/13 - N/A
H1/14 - N/A
H1/15 - IGNITION (PINK)
H1/16 - SHOULD I CONNECT THIS CIRCUIT? THINKING ABOUT CONNECTING TO A STARTER KILL RELAY!
H1/17 - N/A
H1/18 - N/A

Also what should the 12V Fused wires be fused at? I have an external fuse block that I can have any ATC fuse in there up to 30A. Basically I was going to run my own new 16 or 14 AWG wiring with ATC fuses.

I wouldnt use the white wire at the domelight. At the light its a fairly high current circuit. I would use the tan door trigger. I've done it before on many S-10s and know it works. Since your domelight supervision is an output from the keyless entry you could use the orange or the tan. All your doing is tricking the car into thinking the door is open so the domelight comes on when you press unlock.

As far as the horn honk (H1/12) and starter kill (H1/16), those features are up to you. if anything I would probably do the starter kill to help prevent theft. but your truck has Passlock2 which also will prevent theft, so it really doesnt matter.
