Using J. C. Whitney's $29. 95 kit, you MUST IGNORE the sheet that says that Dodges use a three wire hookup; the Dodge uses a five wire hookup; better, but not perfect, instructions are given at their website, www.icdynamics.com, but the wires are easier to get at behind the passenger kick panel than behind the driver kick panel that the website specifies!
BE SURE TO HAVE AT LEAST NINE OR TEN 10 AMP NEW STYLE FUSES ON HAND. EVERY TIME YOU GUESS WRONG, YOU'LL POP ONE!
1. Remove the passenger side kick panel.
2. Pull the wire bundle free from the fender access hole and remove the wrapping that holds the bundle together.
3. Identify the pink/violet and orange/violet wires.
4. Cut the two identified wires in half, leaving plenty of length on both ends.
5. Follow the instructions for the five-wire hookup that comes with the kit, REMEMBERING THAT ORANGE LOCKS AND PINK UNLOCKS.
6. Mount the receiver assembly under the cover on the hump on the floor or anywhere else that's fairly accessable and route the wiring. Unless you're playing with the unlock lock remote while you're driving, it should not affect the ECM if you mount it under the hump cover.
7. Attach the white and red wires to a always-hot terminal. I used an unused fuse socket in the fuse panel and a spade connector.
BE SURE TO TEST THE UNIT THOROUGHLY BEFORE CRIMPING OR SOLDERING ANY CONNECTIONS!!! IF YOU BLOW FUSES DURING TESTING, THEN YOU NEED TO REVERSE YOUR YELLOW AND BLUE CONNECTIONS OR YOUR GREEN AND GREY CONNECTIONS.
Thanks Alan; I couldn't have done it without the shop manual pages you faxed!
Illflem has suggested using the trunk release button to operate the horn. You could also use it to flash the parking lights. It's there for whatever you want to use it for!

Great. Glad it works and glad I could help. Now... . Don't forget to put a spare key in your wallet if you know what I mean. Last year, I was on a boat ramp. I had the Ball and Chain back the truck in. She decided to get a drink from the store while I winched the boat up. She locked the doors, truck on the ramp, keys in the ignition. Fortunately it wasn't busy. I gave her the "Oh my goodness, what have you done?" routine. Scared her to death. Pulled my extra key out, unlocked the door. Happy Girl. Happy me.

jsimpson, looked at the unit you installed from JCW, if you are looking for something to do with the extra wires/button to remotely open the trunk, hook them up to the horn. I did that with the trunk release button on my remote start/ keyless entry. Works great to find where you parked or to just make people checking out your truck jump!!
 
I did both trucks in the last few days. It was well worth the effort, but with these instructions, it only takes about thirty minutes instead of the five hours it took to do the first one WITHOUT accurate instructions!
