I'm going to install a Crimestopper CS-2016 2-Way FM Paging Alarm and Remote Start and I need the wiring colors of my van. It's a 1996 Chevy Astro with factory keyless entry, power windows, power door locks. If any body can help me out I'll be thankfull.

This is not a Basic Alarm. I have to wiring diagram for the alarm but not to my van. And I know that you can't match color for color.
