Hello everyone, I need some help with the power locks on a 2000 dodge caravan. The sheet that I have calls for a 1500ohm resister to lock and a 250ohm resister to unlock. Now I got the lock to work with the 1500ohm resiter but I can not get the 250ohm resister to unlock. I need to know what I'am doing wrong. if I need two relays. I would need to know how to wire them with the resisters to make this work.. I'm useing a Prestige aps636 remote starter unit.

it would help to know what brand of alarm you are using................sounds like you have the wrong resistor on the unlock wire.....

Power Lock WHITE/ D GREEN BOTTOM OF JUNCTION BLOCK TWO #217
Power Unlock SINGLE WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTORS,ONE ON THE LEFT. ***

*** Single Wire Door Lock System, WHITE/ D GREEN Wire Requires Chassis Ground Thru A 1.5K Ohm Resistor To Lock And Chassis Ground Thru A 249 Ohm Resistor To Unlock.

hey David, thank you for the info. as I said before the sheet that I have said a 1500 to lock and a 250 to unlock. I didn't think that because of ohm it would make a differance, but I guess I was wrong, who knew.. thanks again and I will try this in the morning and get back at you.. angel

if you aren't using relays, use a 100ohm resistor for unlock.
