Hi, I'm in need of help. The Dodge Ram 1500 ST (4 door) comes with manual door locks. I have installed actuators in all four doors now, but I need some help on how to route the wires to the doors. How/what to remove from the dash to get access, how to get the wires to the door hinge conduit areas. etc.

Thanks, dave

do you have rubber boots going from the doors to the post???

if you have speakers in the doors then you have the rubber boots.
just run your wires through the boots. use a stiff wire
(coathanger)to help you run wires through the boots and into the dash area.

Thanks David. Yes I do. I actually think I can handle the "door end". I've been getting pretty familiar with the doors with all the time I have spent installing the actuators in the four doors. My need is more to get instructions specific to a 2003 Ram 1500 on how to open up the dash to get access to the 'dash side' of the rubber boots, and also where/how to run the wires from the dash to the rear doors. I checked Installdr.com but the instructions there are not for the current model apparently.

Thanks, dave

remove the rubber boot from the "A" post. and use a small flashlight to see if the light goes through to the inside. if so then use a small clothes hanger and fish it through. it shouldnt be that hard. you have the hardest part done. that was mounting the motors.....
