Well, the last time I tried this, I applied forum codes, and it looked like heiroglyphics. 

I was reading through wiring information for my car (1996 Intrepid) on this site and on others.  On the other website I checked (company that makes an alarm sold at my work), they provided a wiring diagram with something that the one on this site doesn't have. 

On the diagram for the alarm/keyless entry there is a wire called, "Alarm Input Wire" and it is yellow(-).  It is the exact same wire as the dome lights/courtesy lights yellow(-) on the BCM.  What is the significance of this wire, and why is it not listed on this website. Thanks guys.

There are many Wiring Diagrams available from many companies.  Some have ALL the information available at that time (when it was created), some have limited information.  All companies gather their information differently. Some from actual installs, some from Factory Manuals (which even they R sometimes wrong), some from Installers and some from all 3.
NO ONE guarantees that they are accurate.
That is why Installers will Research, Test, & Test.
Even this 1996 Intrepid wiring diagram below may not be accurate, and I have been using these for 20 years.
