I bought a bulldog deluxe 200 model remote starter the instructions specified the follwoing:

330 ohm to unlock

820 ohm to lock.

-----------------------------------------------

The lock works great but the unlock isn’t working. Couple of questions:

A dumb question in does the watts on the resistors matter?? The 820 is 1 watt while the 330 is a half watt. Is there a way to test the wire coming from the unit to make sure that working?

Any help or ideas would greatly be appreciated!

i am guessing a chrysler vehicle, you might have to program the alarm for double pulse unlock

Or you migh thave to reiforce them with a relay if you are not already doing so.

Opps sorry guys. It's a 2002 full size Dodge truck.

Look at this diagram link. I do have the 6pin harness and have followed the diagram to a tee.

redroc, reinforce with relay? what the wiring going to be? Is it diagram 1 in the link above? It sounds like I hear a relay in the unit when I hit the unlock on the remote.

mo12v, how do I meter the wire? I do have a digital meter but don't know much about it. :(

If you followed the diagram you have it wired correctly. Last year i had a Dodge truck that had the same problem. It worked when it left, but stopped after a while. I used a 330, but for some reason it just wouldn't work. I ended up taking a bag of misc. resistors and touching each one to ground and the wire until i found another that did it. I don;t remember what size it was but i never heard about it again. Strange....

I would try removing the 330 and touching one side to ground, the other to the WHITE/ green. If it unlocks you know it's an output problem with the alarm. If it doesn't unlock you know it's a problem with the resistor.....

Correct, basically simulating the operation of the onboard relay.

keep in mind also that the value and wire changes depending on whether the vehicle has factory security or not.... if no security try 315 ohm and if yes try 480 ohm
