I'm installing a Crimestopper CS-2003DC in a 2001 Dodge Ram 3500. I uploaded a copy of the alarm wiring diagram at: https://www.houstonhost.com/cs-2003dc.htm . The diagrams shows negative and positive trigger doorlock wiring but nothing on 5-wire doorlocks. From what I've read my ram has 5-wire locks. Can anyone help with an answer on how to connect the alarm wiring to Ram doorlocks. Since this is my first alarm I would also appreciate any other suggestions. Thank you.

Try this https://www.the12volt.com/doorlocks/page3.asp#5w - it's fairly straightforward. I have an o1 Ram that I just did if you have any other questions. You can grab the wires at the drivers kick panel. Do a search in the car security forum for the wiring diagram. Let me know if you need any other help.

My alarm has built in onboard relays. You can see the alarm power door lock diagrams on the bottom of https://www.houstonhost.com/cs-2003dc.htm . Will this make a differents on the hook up or will I need to add two relay as it the diagram link above?

you wont need relays all you have to do is find the right door lock wires in the vehicle.
cut one of the suspect wires and you should lose operation of one of the switches. Now take a meter and ground the black lead, Now take the red and place on one side of the cut wire try to unlock if no voltage comes up place the red on the opposite side of the cut wire now 12 volts should show when the door lock switch is pressed, this is the switch side now wire the switch side to 87a and the other side goes to 30. Now do the same for the remaining wire and wire exctly the same- find the switch side and wire it as stated above.
pin 87 will get 12 volts positive. good luck
I'm still not sure if I understand the lock/unlock wiring. From what I read in the forum my truck has unlock wiring "ORANGE / violet"and lock wiring "pink/violet". Both lock and unlock wiring in the driver door harness.
Is this right? The alarm lock/unlock wiring harness violet wire goes to + 12V. White wire goes to power side of cut ORANGE / violet wire. Green wire goes to other side of ORANGE / violet wire with no power.
Blue wire goes to power side of cut pink/violet wire. Brown wire goes to other side of pink/violet wire with no power.

I started installing my alarm after work today. Ran out of daylight, I hope I will be able to finish tomorrow evening. I could not find the central timer module. I read in this forum it is on the right side of the steering column. Under the dash on the passenger side of the steering column was the brake switch but no other wiring close by. Can someone tell me what the central timer module looks like and how many wires (or about how many)is connected to it. Thanks guys for all the help.
