I do not have power locks. I have had an aftermarket alarm put in and I had the power locks put in with it. I now have power locks with my keypad. I have picked up a switch, froma 1007 Dodgeram at an auto salvage,to incorporate in to this system so i can also unlock and lock the doors with the button.

My question is there are 5 prongs on the back of the switch...what do each of them go to?

Thanks

from the 5 pins i assume you meant 07 ram. this wont work. those are all bused digital signals sent to the cluster to operate locks. you need a switch and bezel from a 94- 2001. make sure you get the plug and 6 inches of wire. let me know what year it came out of and i can let you know what wires do what.

 

No the 5 pins look like an X on the back of the switch and they said it came out of a 1997 dodge ram 1500 drivers door.

I do not have the harness...I was going to make my own...all I have is the switch.

The truck was never wired for power locks and I want to wire the actuators put in the truck for the aftermarket alarm. I am assuming I need to use relays I just need to know how.

here is what I am thinking (below) I just don't know out of the 5 on the back of the switch I should use...

Firstly – using two 5 pin relays. Relay 1 and Relay 2. With relay 1 - Cut the Blue wire of the drivers door motor going to the drivers side switch and connect it across pins 30 & 87a.
Connect the Switch side to Pin 87a and the Motor side to Pin 30. Check your door lock switches, do they work? - they should do!

Now do the same with relay 2 – Cut the white wire going to the same motor and connect in the same way. Pin 87a goes to the Switch and Pin 30 goes to the motor. Try the switches again, they should still be working!

Now disconnect the passenger side switch from passenger side door motor and connect the motor wires Blue, & White to the drivers door motor wires on the relays, each to Pin 30 and colour to colour. Check again. All okay, move on.

Both motors should now be working through the relay - Pins 30 & 87a.
We need a 12V+ to operate the motors and your alarm will not do it yet! So connect a 12V+ to Pins 87 on both relays. Fuse this supply at the same rating as the CDL Supply going to your switches!!!

Because your alarm fires 12v+ on arm and disarm > Connect Pins 85 on both of your relays to a Good Chassis Ground. 12V (-) neg.
The switches should still be operating your motors at this stage!!
Now from your alarm:
Connect your Alarm wire Blue to Pin 86 of relay 1 - 12v+ on lock to control the blue wire of the motors.
Connect your Alarm wire Green to Pin 86 of relay 2 - 12v + on unlock to control the white wire of the motors.

Here is another diagram I found....but not sure what I would hook it up to.

here is the wiring diagram and connector pinout, this is of the connectorand not the switch . hold the switch like you were pluging it into this and that is how the pins are.

johnalm that last pic was what did the trick but I also have to use relays for the alarm like below
