Questioni just read one of your articals and i have a question.I just bought commando 5005 alarm system and have installed it on my dodges dakota quad cab.For the life of me i can only fine the driver side door wire to trigger the alarm it does not work on the three doors.and also the courtesy light wire and factory alarm dis arm and arm.if you can help me with this i would appricate it. thank you jeff p.s.i also have the window roll up kit which wire will i hook them to
AnswerJeff, first off, I don't do windows. It voids warranties, and I don't even sell them in my shops, so you will need to talk to Commando for install info on that.
As far as the door trigger, unbolt the fuse box, and find the YELLOW door trigger wire there. It detects ALL the doors for alarm purposes.
You will also need to disarm the factory system, or the
2 will conflict. You must use relays and set up for (-) negative trigger. Place a 600 ohm resistor to the lt. green/orange for arm, and a 1300 ohm resistor on the same wire for disarm. This wire will also lock the doors, and it will unlock with a double pulse. These
wires are located IN the drivers side door harness, and see the relay applications at www.relayhelp.com for diagrams
on bypassing factory alarms there.
Good luck with it. Not the easiest truck to work on,
but not the hardest either.
