This is my first post here. I was directed here from another board. Could someone please tell me where I can find a wiring diagram for my truck. It's a '03 Dodge Ram 4wd 1/2 ton quad cab. I would need the part of the wiring associated with installing both a security system and a remote start. (viper 790 xv) TIA! 03Ram

Notes:
NOTE: Chrysler vehicles that use a gray ignition key have an immobilizer system that needs to be bypassed when remote starting. Use DEI part number 555C or 555U.  *1 Lock requires a negative trigger thru a 820 ohm resistor. Unlock requires a negative trigger thru a 330 ohm resistor. MUST use relays.  *2 Parking lights require a negative trigger thru a 330 or 1.4K ohm resistor. Headlights require a negative trigger thru a 1.8K ohm resistor. There is a rest resistance on the wire, so MUST use a relay to isolate away from the switch.  *3 The LF door trigger is tan, and the LR door is tan/orange or PURPLE / orange. These wires are in the driver kick panel. The RF door trigger is tan/red, and the RR door is tan / YELLOW. These wires are in the passenger kick panel. Use all wires and diode isolate each. See directfax document #1076 for wiring information.  *4 This will also do door locks. Arm/lock is negative trigger thru a 2K ohm resistor. Disarm/unlock is negative trigger thru a 480 ohm resistor. Single pulse will do disarm without unlocking the doors. Unlock requires a double pulse. MUST use relays.  *5 The PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is on the passenger side firewall.  *6 The amplifier is located behind the glove box.  *7 These wires may not be necessary for remote start.  *8 Diesel tach wire use gray/black in the black plug at the PCM.

Is up to the installer to test all wires with a DMM whenever possible.
