I think that just disables the doors from locking when the truck starts rolling, or, when you close the doors, and walk away.

Even if you do get it to run without the right key , It will only run for two seconds..

Yes , But it might reset the security system.."Maybe"....

.. "THE SOLUTION"..
I would take the dash back out and put the old dash wiring and everything else you took out of that cab back in , including key switch steering column and everything..Start all over..

OR get Dodge to help you....you'd get more out of trying milk a Bull..

I don't have the original dash. I wired everything up but the door locks don't work still. I was going to wire my doors up using my old pdc but the panel for my truck was inside the truck under the dash. I may have to buy another cause it looks like the old truck locks were reverse polarity where as the new one I'm not sure.

You don't have the original wires for the truck ? I'll send you a 2003 dash wiring harness if you think it will salve the problem..

i figured it ou you have to touch the disarm wire to the arm wire and that seems to have stopped the alarm as well as the red light blinking on my dash. My ruck will still not crank however. I have checked the grounds and they are all fine. My multimeter read the battery at 14 which I think is normal. I'm going to check my fuses and relays to see if they are all in working order, but aside from that I am lost.

Just an idea, Why not use a remote starter button to see if you can get it to turn over that way. If it does not turn over using the starter button it would narrow down your hunt somewhat. Could be a bad starter.
