Dodge Durango Unlock Sequence

I need help with a 2000 Durango door unlock sequence.

My factory keyless units unlock the drivers door with 1 press. A second press unlocks the remaining doors.

After installing a Viper remote start, all doors unlock at the same time.

Is there any way to make the Viper unlock only the drivers door?

I am working on a 2000 Dodge Durango.

In drivers kick panel in bundle going into the door there is a blue wire and an orange black. These 2 wires go directly to the drivers door motor. Directechs has it as 5 wire. If you just want to do unlock, you should be able to do just 1 wire.

I did not ask my original question correctly. Is there any way to make my viper unit unlock the doors the same way the factory keyless does? 1 press unlocks the drivers door, 2 presses unlocks all other doors. Thanks for your help.

Am I asking my question incorrectly, or is what I am trying to do impossible? Any help is appreciated.

You didn't mention which Viper unit you have in either of your topics, but look for priority unlocking in your installation manual.

Thanks for responding. It is a Viper 150 ESP. I am currently using a 451M with resistors to handle the lock/unlock functions. It is working fine. I am just looking for a way to unlock the drivers door first without unlocking the other doors until I am ready to unlock them. Basically, I am trying to mimic the factory keyless operation. I do not see any mention of priority unlocking in the Viper manual.

From page 19 of the Viper 150 ESP Installation Manual

That makes sense. Thanks for your help.

I am sending lock and unlock to a Lt Green/Orange wire. Currently all doors lock and unlock at the same time. What I do not understand is how to unlock only the drivers door first.

Use the main door unlock output to do as IAAI said to do earlier:

Then wire the 2nd channel output to where you currently have the main unlock output and program channel 2 accordingly.

Now it makes sense. Thank you.

wirewise,

just for clarification. it is my understanding that you are recommending me taking the negative unlock output from the 451m and tapping that into the Blue unlock wire that feeds the drivers door lock motor. is that correct?

No, you will need to add an SPDT relay triggered by the unlock negative output from the 451m. You'll cut the driver's door lock actuator's blue wire and wire it as shown on the left relay in this diagram: https://www.the12volt.com/relays/relaydiagram3.html.

Thank you again. You seem to have all the answers. Do you happen to know the wire color for 12V constant going into the door? I am trying to avoid removing this old door panel if I can.

You do not have to use the 12V+ lead going into the door. You can use the 12V+ source for your alarm. If you want to use the one in the door, you'll have to use your meter to find it.

Sorry about the previous post. It was not me. I left my computer on, and someone else thought that they were funnier than they are. Thanks for all your help.

I still need help with the driver's door unlock function if anyone is available.

I am having difficulty with the lock & unlock wires - 2000 Durango.

It is my understudying that my wire colors should be orange/black for lock, and blue for unlock.

Cutting orange/black disables locks in both directions.

Cutting blue has no effect.

Can someone verify that I definitely have the right wires for the driver's door lock motor - blue for unlock, and orange/black for lock.
The blue is a small wire than than the orange/bk.

Using a meter, what am I looking for. Please feel free to explain it as simply as possible. I will not be offended.

This is kicking my butt, and any help is definitely appreciated.

The "unlock wire" to the driver's door lock actuator will show ground at rest and during lock. It will show 12V+ during unlock only. Use your meter to find/confirm the correct wire. If you do not have a way to test the wire in the kick panel correctly, you'll need to go directly to the actuator inside the door, then trace the wire from there or run two wires inside the door and make your connections there.

Thanks. The first part makes sense.

You also wrote, " If you do not have a suitable way to test the wire in the kick panel correctly"... What do you consider a suitable way?

Should I be asking for correct wire colors in a different forum?

I didn't use the word "suitable", but I did write "meter". I personally use a digital voltage/ohm meter to verify wiring.

Thank your for your help "i am an idiot", and "wirewise".

You're welcome. Did you get it all sorted and working?
