prostart ct 3371, 2000 town and country

I don't know if this is the right forum to post this but if not please let me know.

I am installing a prostart CT 3371 in a 2000 Chrysler Town & Country with factory keyless entry/alarm. I got all the available info from the Autostart site and I'm just a bit confused with the wiring info that I downloaded.

I understand that I have to use some resistors and relays on the door lock/ arm, door unlock/disarm WHITE/ green mux wire. The wiring info also includes an arm/disarm WHITE/ red mux wire and I'm not sure if I need to hook this up(resistors et all) to the remote start or not as the WHITE/ green wire should also arm/disarm. Any pertinent info on this would be a great help as I'd like to have all the t's crossed and i's dotted before commencing. We've been lucky so far weather-wise but it's fixin' to get to REAL winter soon and would like to have this done.

The van arms with a Lock and disarms with an Unlock.

First, program the CT 3371 for Secure Lock ( Function2, opt 2 ).  This will unlock the doors prior to remote start up, turning off the alarm, and then relock the doors after the remote start up.

It appears that the Prostart CT 3371 does not have internal relays for the locks.  You will need to follow the

top diagram in the following link, using a 665 ohm & 4020 ohm resistors for Unlock & Lock, respectively.   http://www.bulldogsecurity.com/diagrams/extrainfo/diagrams/14301_TOWN-&-COUNTRY_CHRYSLER%20MINI%20VAN%2096%20-%2000%20%201%20WIRE%20JBS%20UNITS.pdf

Another option is to purchase a DEI 451M Lock Module.  It has the relays pre-wired in a small module

with the necessary resistors included.  It connects directly to the CT 3371 Lock & Unlock outputs and thevans Lock/Unlock wire.  Here is a link to the 451M install guide  :  https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/file.asp?ID=726

This is very good info and I thank you! I haven't got to the programming yet but I'll use the info when I do.

Thank you once again!

Sorry to bug u again Kreg but do I ignore the doorpin or go for the illuminated entry?

Thanks in advance

Not sure on your question.  Are you asking about the CT 3371 Gray (-) Negative Door input wire?

Not positive on the ProStart units but usually the Door Trigger Input is only required on alarm systems or R/S units installed in

a manual trans vehicle.  It probably isn't necessary on your auto trans van with a R/S w/Keyless entry ProStart unit.

Yeah, it's the grey - wire on the R/S and the wiring info from Autostart lists a BROWN / green or BROWN / white doorpin wire at the BCM. I'm thinking the only reason to use this wire would be for illuminated entry but FIIK!!lol.

Do the interior lights come on with a Unlock from the Factory FOB's?  Then you don't need Dome Light supervision, either.Soldering is fun!

Yeah, the lights come on with an unlock from the factory fob so I guess I can just ignore the doorpin info.

Thanks again for all your help. It was awesome!

Would you happen to know the best location to bring the tach wire through the firewall? (Still a bit tentative.)

I'm finally going to start the install!  LOL

Haven't done one for a while.  There should be a grommet somewhere.  Sometimes it is an empty one but usually it's one with a harness already going thru.  Use a coat hanger to push thru the rubber between the harness and grommet edge after making there are no wires in the way on the other side.Soldering is fun!
