I had a Viper 550 ESP Installed in my new 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport, by the book install, everything worked except the power locks jump back up after you lock them with the remote. It doesnt hapen all the time and more often after you lock, unlock, open a door, close and try to lock again. The locks jump up into the unlocked position. Have tried everything, need help please.

Is the unlock wire broken anywhere that it's grounding out ? Chcek this connection again or check to make sure that the relay is not grounding out.

Check this out:

Except on a 2002 Caravan, the wire is purple w/ green and use 5.3k for the lock output and 2.0k for the unlock output.  Keep the resistors within ten percent of the value mentioned and also, be sure to have the diodes in series with each resistor to prevent any ground bounce.

Let us know what happens!

I too am having trouble with a Dodge Caravan.  I can't seem to get the blower to work under remote start.  I checked many wire diagrams and see that one of the ign. wires required a 180 ohm relay which I've done.  There are only 5 or 6 small guage wires at the ign. switch.  One is 12v. constant, starter, ign1, ign2(with resistor).  The other couple don't seem to do anything under start so I left them alone.  Any help out there?

No second ignition.... two starter wires with the resistor inline attached through a relay.
