What year Ram did it have a chipped Key? That is the only thing I can think of that would need to bypass anything. You don't have power locks or windows so I think you will be fine. I did the remote start on my wifes van and I did need to craft a relay for the door locks.

 

Alrighty. Thats what I figured but wanted to make sure before I order it. He claimed he needed one and put one in for his 01 (which is the same year as mine except he has power acc.) Whether he really needed it or I didn't know. Thanks for setting me straight TruckinDodge.

 

i want one im in the same boat no power lock or windows and i want a remoot starter. what did that one cost u.

 

I installed mine in a couple hours. Its easy as long as you have the color codes for the wires. No chip for my 01.

At the top look under vehicle wiring diagrams. Good pair of wire strippers and 3m Electrical tape and your all set. As for dodge rams, ive never seen a 2nd gen with a chipped key but im sure there are a few out there. GM's and fords got them and so do dodge cars/vans. If you have a Round Grey key for your dodge car/truck. Its chipped. My roommate knows how to make a bypass since hes the electrical guru but I do not. I can find out if anyone needs it though.
Edit: Roommate says if you have a gray key you need a 556u harness to bypass. heres one site to find it at http://www.electronicsbonanza.com/co...sku=8484&src=g but there out there cheaper if you look.

 

go to best buy.. they are pros and you can have one installed for @ $250-350.. they are good because they do them all the freakin time and have all the parts they need.. plus if something goes wrong they will fix it for free

 

Stop pretending your truck is a Jeep and keep your wheels off of cars.

Idiot.

No no no no no. Don't use electrical tape to seal connections. Use Water resistant shrink tubing.

 

Electrical tape works just fine. Shrink tubing is better but that does not mean you cant use electrical tape.

 

Here, outbid me (I put minimum bid of 24.99). http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=350152585846

I bid on one yesterday and lost. Well this afternoon I get a second chance offer for $28 because I guess the other guy didn't pay. I end up paying a few more dollars, but i'd rather just but it and be done with it.

 

No, electrical tape does not work fine.

When I say things about electronics, I don't pull it out of my ***. I'm an Electricians Mate in the US Navy. I repair ships, submarines, vehicles, buildings, and everything in between.

Electrical tape deteriorates over a short period of time, creating extremely dangerous exposed connections. It is not suitable as an insulator inside of walls in buildings, due to heat within the walls releasing the adhesive. It is even less suitable in vehicles where higher amounts of heat are present. It is Unacceptable in ships where moisture is present.

In short, no, electrical tape is not a suitable insulator. It doesn't matter how much you use, or who makes it. Within a year, it will be black sticky mush.
