Just wondering a couple things, on the 05 caravan the wires in the ignition harness are like 18 guage and the remote start has like 16 guage. Is it ok to hook these up?

And on the door locks, if i use relays do i need to hook up resistors to?

run your power wires to the battery do not use the lt.blue/red at all can not handlle the pull from the remote start

as for the dor lock yes you do read the info below

Use all four wires and diode isolate each. Also have to diode isolate from the BCM. Refer to DirectFax document 1076 for wiring information. The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the driver kick panel near the parking brake. It has 5 plugs in it, one 6 pin plug and four 34 pin plugs. Dome Supervision yellow/brown or yellow/white + BCM, white plug, pin 33 Notes: The BCM (Body Control Module) is in the driver kick panel near the parking brake. It has 5 plugs in it, one 6 pin plug and four 34 pin plugs. Trunk/Hatch Pin PURPLE / orange - BCM, white plug, pin 29 Notes: A diode must be placed inline on this wire to avoid problems with the dome lights and parking lights.

Optional on SE models. Interface Module: Category: Door Lock Interface Required: Yes Type: Multiplex Part #: 456LW Notes: Smart Starter Kill Relays: Relay Type: Starter Relay Location: Engine compartment fusebox, Driver side Part #: 6401A

this is a (-) triggered multiplex lock/unlock system.  You will need to use 1 relay. This never fails me:

86 (-) lock in

85 +12v

87 5.3k ohm resistor to ground

30 cars lock-unlock wire (purple dk.green)

87a (-) unlock wire to 2.9k ohm resistor to remote start unit

its highly unlikely that your remote start is gonna have more than a 10 amp draw since everything in that vehicle is low current......but smack me if im wrong

Why do you think they usely put two 30 amp fuses on most remote starters. have looked at how skiny them wires are i wouldint want to take any chance

just because your amp has a forty amp fuse in it does that mean your always gonna be drawing 30 or 35 amps....youll be fine using that power lead......i will suggest staying away from the 2 amp circuit powering the new dodge rams key cylinder....you will likely be drawing more than 2 amps at a given point but come on 10 amps to activate low current switches to a pcm?  unlikely....your parking lights are negative and that relay might draw something but nothing to be concerned about.....if your adding relays for lockunlock sliding doors power rear hatch.....then yah maybe your gonna draw more than ten amps if you activate every option while your remote starting with every accesory in the vehicle on........but thats an unlikely situation....besides just use a combo data interface and youll nevr have anything to worry about.......

just my two sense........

though i am surprised that someone agreed with me about this...........mikem2...i figured idget pm'd to never post here again.......

Incorrect. Think about it, the remote start is duplicating you turning the key. If the van needs,say, 7 amps to start and run with the key that's all it needs for the remote start to do the same thing. In this case using a 10 amp source would be fine as long as you don't add anything high current the remote start will turn on beyond what the key would normally do. The 30 amp fuses the RS manufacturer installs are a generic size designed to cover the most possible draw in any type car, like maybe an old Chevy van that had a large power consumption from the ignition switch.

errr.........

i meant

two cents.....
