The 2005 Dakota has 4 Accessory wires but the remote starter only has one output. I understand how to wire a relay for a 2nd Acc. wire but what do you do on a vehicle that has 4? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Take a negative ACC wire from the remote start and use it to trigger 3 separate relays.

You also have 2 ignition wires that need to be powered. So depending on how many outputs your remote starter has, you will need 3-4 separate relays. If you have a 2nd ignition / 2nd accessory output from the remote starter unit, use that on the 2nd ignition and use 3 additional relays for the accessory wires. Like PTS said, use the (-) ACC output to trigger the 3 relays.

My remote starter doesn't have a (-) acc output but I drew up this little diagram, do you guys think this will work? Thanks for the replies so far.

add another relay to your diagram and trigger all four relays with your remote start. The way you have it drawn now is correct besides the fact that the relays will energize every time you start the vehicle with the key and you only want the relays to energize with the remote start.

If the coils are grounded by the GWR then as far as I know, it shouldn't trigger without the remote starter activating. To me, your diagram looks ok... but I could be wrong.

Hey guys thanks for the input, It works like a dream and the relays activate with the remote starter only. No CEL either..lol!!!
