Thanks, so I will hook up my alarm remote starter + to the yellow to get the starter to crank?

I see so many posts with ppl doing first time alarms/RS and I hope you are all testing the wires with a DMM or something to make sure you have the correct wires.  Please don't just take the tech sheet as gospel and tap those wires.  Make sure you have the correct wire by testing it properly.

We had a customer who was a mechanic by an alarm from us and wanted to install it himself.  We gave him a tech sheet.  He installed the alarm without testing wires.  I can't remember the car, but he had a + and - park light.  Directechs had the park light polarity incorrect on the tech sheet.   He came back cause he tapped the - park light and sent 12 volts through it.  The park light wire fried all the way to the fuse block becuase he was dangerous enough to pop the 10A fuse a couple times, so he put a 30A fuse in to keep it from popping.

It should be the non common wire at the injectors.  Is GR/OR the common wire at the injectors?

Save the guess work. Test the wire with your Digital Multimeter set on the AC setting. The reading will be between 1-8V and move up when you step on the gas pedal.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.2003 dodge ram 2500 alarm/remote start - Page 3 -- posted image.

I know what you professionals are saying. I always take my cars in to a shop for anything, I have 2001 durango (wifes) and my 03 ram. I have had 2 high end stereo systems installed (custom) and even my first alarm system. But my installer and all of them are very busy this time of year so I really wanted to give it a try and this is why I am here.

Believe me, I would not recommend anyone to install an alarm themselves. I do not care how smart you think you are, professionals do it daily and have a comfort zone and can do it faster and cleaner than someone doing it at home, anyday. With that said I really took my time on this self install ( 3 days). I have tested and double tested each and every wire before connection. I have done this step by step with the help of this forum, and ONLY from this forum. I will make a donation too.

Will I do it again, Hell no. I like to fiddle fart with my rides but installs,no way.

Now one last question and I am done, I just need this help. Tach wire on 2003 Ram cummings 4x4.Which one is it. Thanks

What exactly happens if you only single pulse?  Does it not unlock at all or does it just unlock one door?  On my 1999 Maxima, one turn of the key in the door unlocks only that door, 2 turns unlocks all of the doors.  If I don't set it up with double pulse, will I have to hit the unlock button twice on the transmitter to unlock all doors?  Once to unlock only one?   Thanks!

e.n. :)

This will also do door locks. Arm/lock is negative trigger thru a 2K ohm resistor. Disarm/unlock is negative trigger thru a 480 ohm resistor. Single pulse will do disarm without unlocking the doors. Unlock requires a double pulse. MUST use relays.
Can also use Directed 457C or 456L interface modules.
Alright, here you listed the factory disarm wire. This can control the locks BUT there is an actual single wire coming off of the lock switch.

Power Unlock same wire as power lock       
Lock requires a negative trigger thru a 820 ohm resistor. Unlock requires a negative trigger thru a 330 ohm resistor. MUST use relays.

O.K found the right wire by injector and used a a/c tester and it did go up a little when you hit the throttle. I tapped into the yellow wire in the ignition harness for remote start. Now I get nothing. I do not have factory alarm or door locks, or chip in key do I still need bypass module, it should at least crank right?
