Can anyone help me with the wiring on my remote start?

[VIPERBLUELX]

I just installed a remote start kit on my 2000 Ram diesel truck. Everything is working fine except that it does not kick on the fuel pump when it tries to start the truck so all it does is spin over but doesn't start. It seems that it's not triggering the correct ignition wires, but I've got it hooked up via the wiring diagram I found on Bulldog's website. It shows that Ignition 1 is the dark blue wire and Ignition 2 is the black/white wire, and that's how I've got it hooked up, but obviously it's not sending a signal to the fuel pump with it connected this way. Any ideas?

Man, not too sure on how to help you. I was hooking up an older Alpine alarm myself, and had a lot of questions on the door locks. They still aren't correct, but they kind of work... Here's a website that may help: http://www.the12volt.com/. I did a search on www.google.com for alarm installing, and found a couple other good ones, but this one is by far the best.



Here's the wiring diagram for your truck:

I hope that this helps in some way, shape, or form. If you have a Dodge manual, or even a Chilton's or Haynes, it should show the color of wire going to the LP. I would think if the starter and both ignition wires are hooked up properly, you should be getting juice to the LP. I would suggest taking taking a voltmeter and start testing which wires send a 12v signal to the LP when the ignition is kicked on by the alarm. I don't know how the wiring is routed on the automatics, but one would think it ran off the ignition #1 wire. I will look into my Haynes book tonight and see if I can come up with something more for you.

I had mine professionally done. It was a shop I have had several things installed in other vehicles. I trust them and they do a great job. They told me it would take two of them about 6 hours, just because it is a Dodge. They said Dodge trucks are the worst to install that kind of stuff in. Just to give you an idea what you are in for. Have fun and good luck!
