2006 Dodge Caravan alarm/remote start

I am doing a 2006 Dodge Caravan tomorrow. Got a few questions please.. 1. In reviewing the wiring I have 3 different resistor values for the parking lights (5.6Kohm (installogy), 2.1Kohm (directechs), 2,000ohm (bulldog).. Does anyone know which is correct? 2. Power sliding door.. 1.5Kohm for passenger side and 2.7K ohm for driver's side. Is it possible to wire it to open both? 3. I'm assuming it's safe to remove the metal plate behind the driver's kick that has some type of airbag behind it? 4. Also, can anyone tell me the color code of the resistors that I will need to use for above applications? I have a bunch from the 451M door lock module pack.. Hopefully one of those is the correct one(s). Thanks much everyone!

1. DEI has never let me down with their values. 2. Yes, you could use 2 separate relays triggered by the same output to open them. 3. Yes, but be extremely careful when working around the airbag. 4. You can find a resistor calculator here: Resistor Calculator You could also do just the remote start off the new remote and leave the factory remote to control the sliders, locks, etc.

you dont need resistors for the parking lights if you go in the driver kick. its positive pulse there along with brake lights. WHITE/ brown for positive parking lights and WHITE/ tan for brake lights. much easier than wiring up negative parking lights with a resisor for parking lights. Shaun, we are the same height, that is neat!

Thanks for the replies.. In regards to the second starter... I have to use a relay and a 180ohm resistor.. I don't have a 180ohm resistor.. Is there anything I can do to make the value of a resistor go down? I have the 451M resistor pack if that helps.. Thanks!

Would (2) 100 ohms, +/-5% resistors be OK for the 180ohm second starter?

You can not decrease the amount of a resistor, but you can add resistors to make up to a value. As in: solder a 100 and a 80 in series and you get 180 ohms.

And would a 5,360 ohm work for the 5.6K parking lights?

Do not depend on the variance. Go to radio shack and get some resistors.

see my previous post, you DONT RESISTORS FOR PARKING LIGHTS. maybe some people light doing things the hard way, but I look at it as why put a failable link in there when you dont have to. Do as you wish, just trying to help.Shaun, we are the same height, that is neat!

The WHITE/ brown wire rests at 3.2 and goes to 2.3 when I turn the parking lights on.. I don't think that's the correct wire.. The only other wire down there that is WHITE/ brownish rests at 12v and doesn't react to the parking light switch.
