Hello,

I'm currently trying to install a Valet 712t keyless entry system into my 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 and I'm a little confused about the lock system.  After doing some research here, I've learned that my truck has a 5-wire set-up because it has factory power locks, but was never fitted with the OEM keyless entry.  Now, according the 5-wire relay drawing on this site, the relays are wired for constant 12vdc (87 and 30 posts) with a trigger (-) from the alarm system.  However, on the Valet system, the output trigger is 12+VDC.  If anyone has any help to offer, I'd greatly appreciate it.

The 712T has it's own internal relays for door locking...you can wire this directly to your door locks without the need for extra relays.
Just compare the installation manual's information to this diagram.

O.K......Should I tap the wires at the drivers door switch?

Thanks, Ryan

I read that too about the kick panel, but I have (2) Orange and (2) Pink wires at the kick panel.  If you move the switch the "Lock" position, 12VDC is at both Orange wires and the same goes for the (2) Pink wires when you move the switch to the "Unlock" position.  Should I just splice both Orange wires into 1 wire, then hook it up to the controller and do the same for the "Unlock" wires?

No, do not combine the wires.
You should see a ORANGE / purple and a pink/purple in the kick at a lt. blue plug. You are going to have to cut both and on each one connect the side that goes to the switch to 87a and the side that goes to the motor to 30.
Splicing the wires together is NOT what you want to do.

Got it figured out.......Thanks!!  After looking under the dash again today, I noticed I made a mistake in the wire colors.  There are (2) Orange and (2) Pink on that connector, but (1) of the Orange and (1) of the Pink wires have a black tracer, which at first looked like Violet.  Anyway, I did a quick test run and everything works, so I just gotta make the final connections and that should be it.  Thanks again for all the help......Ryan

Well, I spoke too soon.  I have a new problem to figure out.  Everything is hooked up and works properly when using the remote or the drivers side power door lock switch to lock and unlock the doors.  However, when I tested the passenger door unlock/lock switch, the passenger side lock worked, but the drivers sounded "strained", only raised half-way, then the 20A power door fuse (in the trucks fuse box) blew.  Since the fuse didn't blow out immediately, I don't think its shorting to ground, but you never know.  I've double checked the wires and everything looks right and to best of my knowledge, the passenger side power lock switch worked properly before beginning the install.  Any ideas?
