Who would think of such a thing? Using a search? No, would that work? No flaming intended but this has been discussed several hundred times and you can find tons of info in the search.

12 VOLTS pnk/blk & RED / wht + ignition harness
STARTER 1 yellow + ignition harness
IGNITION 1 blue (16 awg) + ignition harness
IGNITION 2 red or RED / wht + ignition harness
ACCESSORY 1 green & orange + ignition harness
ACCESSORY 2 blue & blk/wht + ignition harness
These wires may not be necessary for remote start.
POWER LOCK WHITE/ green - driver kick panel
Lock requires a negative trigger thru a 820 ohm resistor. Unlock requires a negative trigger thru a 330 ohm resistor. MUST use relays.
POWER UNLOCK same wire n/a
DISARM NO UNLOCK same wire n/a
FACTORY ALARM ARM lt GREEN/ orange - driver kick panel
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.
FACTORY ALARM DISARM same wire n/a
DISARM DEFEAT tan/white passenger kick panel
DOORLOCK MOTOR tan/pnk or tan/blk driver kick panel
DOOR UNLOCK MOTOR blue driver kick panel
PARKLIGHTS POSITIVE BLACK / YELLOW + relay under hood at pwr ctr
PARKLIGHTS NEGATIVE purple / YELLOW - headlight switch
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.
HEADLIGHT purple / YELLOW - headlight switch
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.
BRAKE WHITE/ tan + brake pedal switch
DOOR PIN see notes - see notes IN011114-27
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 Infotech document IN011114 for wiring information.
DOMELIGHT SUPERVISION use door trigger n/a
TACH not light GREEN/ orange ign coil, coil pac, injector
Alternative Tach wires: Gray/Black in the black plug (lower plug) of PCM which is on passenger side firewall under the hood. Have also seen an Orange wire in the plug on the passenger side firewall inside the vehicle.
VSS WHITE/ orange wht conn. 2, pin 27 @ pcm
The PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is on the passenger side firewall.
GLOW PLUGS see notes see notes IN990217-33
No Glowplug access. Use a 528T set to 15 seconds for delay. See Infotech bulletin IN990217.
HORN BLACK/ red - steering column
WIPER brn/wht(l),rd/yel(h) + wiper motor
RADIO 12V pink + radio
RADIO SWITCH BROWN / red + radio
RADIO GROUND BLACK/ green - radio
RADIO ILLUMINATION ORANGE / blue (dimmer) + radio
LEFT FRONT SPEAKER lt grn/rd-lt grn/grn radio or amplifier
The amplifier is located behind the glove box.
RIGHT FRONT SPEAKER lt blu/pu-lt blu/blk radio or amplifier
The amplifier is located behind the glove box.
LEFT REAR SPEAKER wht/red - wht/blk radio or amplifier
The amplifier is located behind the glove box.
RIGHT REAR SPEAKER tan/pur - tan/blk radio or amplifier
The amplifier is located behind the glove box.

SUBJECT: Door trigger isolation
The following diagrams apply to vehicles with Body Control Modules that shut down causing false triggers on the door and rear hatch/trunk inputs. Generally, when Body Control Module shut down to save power there is a change of state on the door trigger wires that aftermarket alarms see as a false trigger. Isolating the door switch wires using either diagram eliminates the false trigger. All diodes are rated 1 amp.
IMPORTANT! For 1999 and newer Dodge/Chrysler mini-vans use Diagram B only.

SUBJECT: How to perform wait to start on diesel vehicles without attaching to the "WAIT TO START" indicator wire.
Some diesel vehicles have sensitive wires that make interfacing with the "WAIT TO START" indicator difficult. The 528T Pulse Timer Relay is a simple bypass for any diesel vehicles in which access to the "WAIT TO START" wire is difficult.
ADJUSTMENT : Adjust the 528T Pulse Timer Relay to stay active for approximately 5 to 10 seconds longer than the "WAIT TO START" indicator stays on.
