Thank for responding but I'm sorry I forgot to put the year of my car.  Anyway the year is 2001 Dodge grand caravan sport.  jns

Only vehicles with gray keys (Sentry Key) have the immobilizer. DIRECTWIRE™ WIRING INFORMATION - DODGE / CARAVAN / 2001 / Remote Start 12volts lt. blue/red (10A)   +   ignition harness Notes: This wire is rated at 10 amps only. If installing any system with high current outputs, go to battery for 12v. Starter yellow   +   ignition harness Second Starter PURPLE / brown   -   ignition harness Notes: The second starter wire is negative trigger thru a 180 ohm resistor. MUST use a relay. Refer to DirectFax document 1083 for wiring information. Ignition pink/white   +   ignition harness Second Ignition N/A        Third Ignition N/A        Accessory not required for remote start        Second Accessory N/A        Keysense           Power Lock PURPLE / green   -   conn. 3, pin 21 @ BCM Notes: Lock is negative trigger thru a 5.3K ohm resistor. Unlock is negative trigger thru a 2.0K ohm resistor. MUST use relays. The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the driver kick panel near the parking brake. It has 5 plugs in it, one 6 pin plug and four 34 pin plugs. Can also use Directed 457C or 456L interface modules. Power Unlock same wire as power lock        Lock Motor tan/white      conn. 2, pin 10 @ BCM Notes: The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the driver kick panel near the parking brake. It has 5 plugs in it, one 6 pin plug and four 34 pin plugs. Unlock Motor tan/lt. green      conn. 2, pin 28 @ BCM Notes: The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the driver kick panel near the parking brake. It has 5 plugs in it, one 6 pin plug and four 34 pin plugs. Parking Lights+ DO NOT USE        Parking Lights- WHITE/ brown   -   headlight switch Notes: The parking lights are negative trigger thru a 2.1K ohm resistor. The headlights are negative trigger thru a 790 ohm resistor. There is a rest resistance on the wire, so MUST use a relay to isolate away from the switch. See DirectFax document 1082 for wiring information. Hazards           Turn Signal(L)           Turn Signal(R)           Reverse Light           Door Trigger     -   conn. 3 @ BCM Notes: There are separate door triggers for each door, they are all in connector 3 at the BCM. The driver door trigger is purple in pin 6, the passenger door is PURPLE / white in pin 7, the left sliding door is PURPLE / gray in pin 8, and the right sliding door is purple / YELLOW in pin 5. Use all four and diode isolate each. See DirectFax document 1076 for wiring information. The BCM is in the drivers kick panel near the parking brake. It has 5 plugs in it, one 6 pin plug and four 34 pin plugs. Dome Supervision use door trigger        Trunk/Hatch Pin PURPLE / orange   -   conn. 3, pin 29 @ BCM Notes: A diode must be placed inline on this wire to avoid problems with the dome lights and parking lights. The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the driver kick panel near the parking brake. It has 5 plugs in it, one 6 pin plug and four 34 pin plugs. Hood Pin PURPLE / lt. blue   -   conn. 3, pin 30 @ BCM Notes: The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the driver kick panel near the parking brake. It has 5 plugs in it, one 6 pin plug and four 34 pin plugs. Trunk/Hatch Release PURPLE / tan   -   conn. 2, pin 6 @ BCM Notes: Hatch release is negative trigger thru a 1.69K ohm resistor. MUST use a relay. The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the driver kick panel near the parking brake. It has 5 plugs in it, one 6 pin plug and four 34 pin plugs. Power Sliding Door PURPLE / blue   -   conn. 3, pin 1 @ BCM Notes: Left power sliding door is negative trigger thru a 1.5K ohm resistor. Right power sliding door is negative trigger thru a 2.7K ohm resistor. MUST use relays. The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the driver kick panel near the parking brake. It has 5 plugs in it, one 6 pin plug and four 34 pin plugs. Factory Alarm Arm PURPLE / lt. blue   -   conn. 3, pin 14 @ BCM Notes: Arm is negative trigger thru a 1.5K ohm resistor, this will also lock the doors. Disarm is negative trigger thru a 9.1K ohm resistor, if use double pulse this will also unlock the doors. MUST use relays. The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the driver kick panel near the parking brake. It has 5 plugs in it, one 6 pin plug and four 34 pin plugs. Can also use Directed 457C or 456L interface modules. Factory Alarm Disarm same wire as alarm arm        Disarm No Unlock           Tachometer     ac   ignition coil pack Notes: On the 2.4L use blue/green or blue/tan. On the 3.3L/3.8L use blue/green, blue/tan or blue/orange. Wait to start           Brake Wire WHITE/ tan   +   brake pedal switch Parking Brake           Horn Trigger GREEN/ purple   -   steering column Memory Seat 1           Memory Seat 2           Memory Seat 3           Interface Module: Category: Immobilizer Bypass Required: Yes Type: Sentry Key Part #: 555CW Alternate Part1 #: 556UW Alternate Part2 #: 555U Notes: Only vehicles with gray keys have the immobilizer.

 Thank you so much for your tip and information.   This will save me more time installing my remote start.  I hope to get more tips from you guys.  Again, thank you Mr. thepencil.     jns

Thanks for the information Jason.  How do I know what ohms do I have to use for the resistor.jns

Hopefully this might help. Notes: Lock is negative trigger thru a 5.3K ohm resistor. Unlock is negative trigger thru a 2.0K ohm resistor. MUST use relays. Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.
