Want to hookup window modules but my alarm only has 1 -500ma output for starter kill.. This only outputs when alarm goes off. Want windows to rollup when I set alarm. Alarm has trunk release but is positive out. Is there any way to use trunk release or door lock pulse to activate window module. Vehicle is 2003 dodge ram.

The one for starter kill will work fine for roll up, be sure to use a diode to isolate the starter kill relay from the window module and alarm. As far as roll down, if all you have is a + trunk release output then use a relay to convert the pulse to negative and it will work just fine. If you post the type of alarm then other's may have ideas.

The problem with the starter kill is that it will only roll up windows if the alarm goes off not when I set the alarm. It is a phoenix deluxe pd175.

What is the starter kill wire labeled as, starter kill output or ground when armed output? Also test the wire to see if it goes to ground when you arm the alarm, the wire you need will go to ground when you arm the alarm.

Also the installer hooked the window module up to the trunk release but they only go up about 6" at a time. i assume he inverted the signal but it only pulses. Now he wants nothing else to do with it.
