I am installing a Keyless Entry, Alarm, Remote Start in my 2002 Dodge Ram. I have succeded in installing it up to the last 3 wires of the remote start. The three wires I have left are Accessory, Ignition 1, and Ignition 2. I have linked to a wiring diagram that shows my current wiring. I have tried every logical hook up for these 3 wires with little success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ignition 12 volts

BLUE 16 gauge

IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS *

* USE THE SMALL GAGE BLUE WIRE

Ignition #2	RED / WHITE 16ga*	IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS(TRANS CON)
Ignition #3 & 4	DARK GREEN ORANGE	IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS (BLOWER)** AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE
Accessory	BLACK/ WHITE	IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS

* Also Has Been Noted As RED.
**Ignition # 4 : ORANGE Ignition Switch Harness Air Bag Control Module

You will probably need 2 SPDT Relays for Ignition 3&4

I've connected the RED / WHITE wire to my Ignition #1 wire and the ORANGE wire to my Ignition #2 wire. And my Accessory to BLACK/ WHITE. This did nothing. I find it strange that my truck doesn't even try to start. When I send 12v of power dirrectly to the yellow starter wire the truck tries to start. When I use the remote start the truck doesn't even try to start... shouldn't the starter wire off of my remote start be sending 12v of power?? When I connect 12v dirrectly to the blue wire I can here somthing in my engine making a whirring sound. This is really not making any sense to me.

Will not having the Starter Killer wiried in affect the RS? It doesn't seem like it should.

OK. Using a voltmeter I was able to determine that when I send the signal to start from the remote only my two brown wires receive a 12v signal for a brief second. Here's what I have:

Red: 12v input
Yellow: nowhere
Brown: Key ON position power. (fuel pump power)
Brown: Yellow starter wire in ignition harness
Blue: nowhere

This causes my truck to successfully start and then immediately die. I know that it dies because there isn't sustained power to the fuel pump. I also know that I do not have this wired properly - but the "proper" wiring didn't work.

Why wouldn’t the yellow wire send any power? It is designated as the starter wire. And, why don’t I have a steady power flow for my fuel pump??
