hi everybody i'm a newbee here, and am loving this site
iv'e been trying to hook up an alarm to me caravan for awhile know and i can't seem figure out where the door trigger wire is/ or are. i've done alarms on others cars that i've owend but that was becuase i could find out the color o the wire by just opening up the door trigger switch on the side of the car but the van has the trigger in the lock mechanisim which is a good idea but very annoying. could some body help please.
There are separate door triggers for each door, they are all in connector 3 at the BCM. The driver door trigger is purple in pin 6, the passenger door is PURPLE / white in pin 7, the left sliding door is PURPLE / gray in pin 8, and the right sliding door is purple / YELLOW in pin 5. Use all four and diode isolate each. They are all negatives make sure to isolate each one of them.
I also show in another program a Yellow \ Orange ( + ) wire at the body control module ( BCM ) second plug from the top. Make sure to test wires whenever possible with a digital multimeter.

I will basically repeat what Luis just said. You should be able to use the yellow/orange (+ I believe) for the door trigger. The BCM is located to the left of the brake pedal back against the firewall. You'll see a bunch of the same size square plugs going into it just follow the info given above it isn't too hard to access. You should be able to pickup the yellow/orange in the left kick from what I remember also. Just don't use the yellow/orange for domelight supervision as it will set a code in the computer and disable the dimmer switch along with the middle domelight in the van. However if you put a diode in line with that yellow / orange and then tap in you should be alright..Good luck,

Chrysler Mini-Vans 2001 & up – Body Control Module
The Body Control Module on the new
Chrysler Mini-Vans is located under the
driver’s side of the dash, directly mounted to
the firewall. You can find just about anything
you need here for your basic installations.
Most of the wires that control such things as
security, doorlocks and the sliding doors,
use resistors in-line with ground (-). The pin
numbers given below, correspond to the
pins, as they appear in the diagram and the
line drawing on the right.
C2 Connector:
Pin-6 VIOLET/TAN – Power Liftgate control (2.7K resistor to ground for
open/close)
Pin-9 WHITE/ LT.GREEN – Reverse lights (+)
Pin-10 TAN/WHITE – Driver’s lock motor (+) for keyless upgrade only
Pin-11 TAN/LT.GREEN – Driver’s Unlock motor (+) for keyless upgrade only
Pin-26 TAN/BROWN – Passenger’s unlock motor (+) for keyless upgrade only
C3 Connector:
Pin-1 VIOLET/DK.BLUE – Sliding doors open/close (right door use 1.5K res. to ground, left door use 2.7K res. to ground)
Pin-5 VIOLET / YELLOW – Right sliding door sense (-)
Pin-6 VIOLET – Left front door sense (-)
Pin-7 VIOLET/WHITE – Right front door sense (-)
Pin-8 VIOLET/GRAY – Left sliding door sense (-)
Pin-14 VIOLET/LT.BLUE – Doorlock & Security control (2K res. to ground for lock/arm and 5.2K res. to ground for
unlock/disarm)***
Pin-21 VIOLET/DK.GREEN – Doorlock control (5.2K res. to ground for lock and 2K res. to ground for unlock)***
Pin-25 YELLOW/VIOLET – Courtesy lights (+)
Pin-29 VIOLET/ORANGE – Liftgate door sense (-)
Pin-30 VIOLET/LT.BLUE – Hood switch sense (-)
C5 Connector:
Pin-18 WHITE/ BROWN - Light switch control (5.6K res. to ground for Parklights, 1.3K res. to ground for Headlights)
Pin-30 ORANGE / BROWN – Dimmer (+)
*** Only one of these wires should be used. Both wires will lock & unlock the doors. See the doorlock diagram
for wiring details.***
i use the #25 pin on conn. 3 yellow/violet wire it is + and have had no problems
One quick question do you get an error trigger chirp with domelight??

no i turn off chirps so havent noticed. the horn chirp is absorbed by the bcm so i turn off chirps
thanks for the answer.

Is up to the installer to test all wires with a DMM whenever possible.
