It looks like if I can figure out what "Integrated Electronic Module" is I should be able to pipe into that. It also looks like the Central Timer Module isn't a bad place either however, it appears to be under the front seat so that's not ideal.
The Integrated Electronic Module I believe is the CTM. The CTM should be behind the dash
I didn't see these messages last night. I didn't have much time with it last night but I went out and wired up some relays and hooked up a door lock actuator. That went well and one of the doors has a power door lock, I'll get the other one wired up and installed tonight if I get some time to head out there. Then I'll figure out this door trigger that seems so illusive.
I did look under the dash for the CTM and it appears there is something mounted behind where the cigarette lighter is and I think I can see the component that will play the ding when the doors are left open, key in ignition, etc. but the wire colors don't match up with the diagrams. I'll have to keep looking. I'll get the door locks done first now that I got that started.

The CTM will have 2 screws through it and will have one or two plugs. It's right there. I'll try to get a picture of mine. If it is playing the ding when the key is in or the doors are open that's the CTM
Wow, I really appreciate that Mopar Fanatic. I think I know what it is but the problem I have with it is the wire colors for the door triggers (1 Tan and then 1 Black/LtBlue) aren't on there. There is a tan wire but it's missing the balck/blue one. So I question if I'm in the right spot. However, it seems to be the right spot.
I'll double check to see if it has 2 screws through it. The plugs will be questionable because mine is a bare bones base model so it might have less than average.

I'll get a picture of mine (mine is the high line so I have two plugs but it will be in the same spot). What year is your truck again?
I've been digging through the manual found on this site. I definitely don't recall something that large to the right of the steering column. I won't be able to get out there in the light today but tomorrow I'll try and get a picture of what I have in what I believe is that spot. It's much smaller. However, far less options than your truck. Looks like there are different modules based on options. However, unless I have the colors wrong (I found them in the manual) I don't have the right colors in there. I'm starting to think I'm missing something really dumb here. I can't be the only one having these issues which means I'm likely making a mistake or being an idiot somewhere along the way. If I can wire up the rest of the alarm, four relays for power door locks, etc then this should be the easy part but for some reason, door triggers get to sit in a dark corner and laugh at me.
Maybe the colors are different based on which CTM you have. I'll revisit the manual to see if there is more than one CTM or not based on the options on the truck.
Ok, so your high line does have a different CTM than mine. Here's a shot of the service manual with the high line on the left and the base on the right.
The base calls for tan and black/light blue (unless LB stands for something else). I don't have a black/light blue wire there.
