Thanks for the tutorial man, my install went 100% flawless because of your hands on advice and step by step directions! Thank you!
Great help. I have a different remote start and keyless entry system in my truck and I followed how you did yours and it helped so much. The only problem I had was after I did the wiring for my locks it wouldn’t let me lock and unload both doors at the same time unless I disconnected the driver side door lock wires the connect to the switch but finally got it all working. Thank you for the step by step help on how to install a remote start and keyless entry
Tyler Abbott glad I could help!
What did you end up doing to make it work?
This is a great tutorial!! Saved me a ton of money paying to have it done
Glad I was able to help!
@@Handy-Mann Do you have a sport edition? I just got an 01 ram 5.9 sport and was wondering if you know anything about putting LED headlights in the sport? It has 2 bulbs (highs/lows) in each lamp, and from what I managed to find is people can only get the highs to work correctly with LEDs. Also,are you still making guides for your 01 ram? Definitely the most in-depth videos out there on YT.
@@DangOlTellYouHwhat unfortunately I don't know much about installing LED headlights and I actually ended up selling my ram about 2 years ago. I miss it.
@@Handy-Mann Ahh okay. Well I appreciate you making this gem before selling it!
Thanks for the tutorial installed it fast I didn't know about the relays till I watched your video and I did use one of the 87a on the relay it was easier to get to the wires when I disconnected it from the door I also found relays with the a harnesses that have the colored wires from the diagram that made the diagram make sense
Glad i could help!!
@@Handy-Mann Do you have a link to this kit, or is it still on amazon?
Also, if you dont want the keyless entry do you need to wire the 6 pin?
You are appreciated more than you'll ever know! Thank you!
Just wanted to pay it forward
@@Handy-Mannyou think you could pay that cheat sheet forward? the one that I asked about on your page over a year ago?
I cant find the link for bulldog security systems that works tho
Hi Handy Mann, thanks a lot for the video, it's very helpful. Please advise if I want to install this compustar cs 800 for Toyota highlander 2006, I need to install a bypass module, is it the pin 4 ( Black wire) in 12 pin harness to be connected to the bypass module? Thanks
I followed step by step and I got the remote start to work, which is awesome, but the door lock and unlock isnt working. I can feel and hear the relays clicking, but the doors themselves dont lock or unlock. Any advice or ideas?
Would the wiring harness be the same for a 01 3500
Where did you look up the wire diagram on
I got a 1998 ram slt Laramie I have try everything to get aftermarket keyless entry to work no luck so far I'm not sure if my truck have one from factory I dont have a key fob...I did everything the way u did on this video what else can i do very frustrating
Is there any difference in wiring when it comes to the year? I have the 5706v model that I'm trying to install in my 97 slt laramie. Having no luck, unfortunately. lol
I connected all the wires like you showed in the video and almost all of it works , the only thing not working is the horn when locking and unlocking and starting the truck. I connected the white wire from the unit to the blue with from the sterling column the one you showed. Any advice would be helpful.
I would just recheck the connection at the steering column, as well as the connection at your unit. You could also check your wiring schematic to make sure you have it connected into the correct wire, just incase your vehicle is slightly different.
Hey awesome vid man! Do we have to earth 87A is this true?
Did you cut the lock and unlock wire from vehicle?
Im looking to install one of these on my truck but im struggling to find it. Is there a link you might be able to post for it?
Good Job!
Thanks!
@@Handy-Mann I cant find the link for bulldog security systems that works tho
great video,and exelent explanation ,does it work on 94 ram 5.2?
It may not be the same exact colors for all your wires, however it will be a very similar procedure. If you go to bulldogsecurity.com and look up your year you'll be able to find the correct wiring schematic for your year. Best of luck!
what if I already have a key fob for door locks? would I still need the relays set-up?
thanks in advance
suzuki rider depends on if it's stock or aftermarket. If it's aftermarket find the aftermarket system and figure out which wires are wired into your lock/unlock and connect in your new system lock/unlock wires to the old ones. If it's stock I don't believe you'll need the relay set up, but check out the extra wiring diagrams for the doors for your year at bulldogsecurities.com and see if your truck fits any of the extra diagrams they have for the door locks
I hope that all makes sense
thanks again
I realize I’m late to this video but did you need the blade to install this ? Or would it work without the blade
I got this to work last summer had the truck sitting all winter then this summer unlocking works flawless but locking only the drivers side locks any suggestions what this might be
I would check the fuses first. I remember I blew one out and my remote start wouldn't work until I replaced it.
Is there a kit on amazon you recommend? Cannot find the one you purchased
Yes would love a link
You were doing great until 18:00 when you started talking about poor wiring habits. Killing me smalls! Ugh 29:50 too . You're so smart! Don't bring yourself down - go get wire crimps!
So the CS800-S will work on my 2000 ram 1500
where did you find the "cheat sheet"??
I have a 2002 ram 1500 but it the new body style will this still work??
I wanna know the same thing
I have a 98 ram 2500 with the 12 valve cummins and 5 speed manual. Will this system work?
I believe it will, however you may want to confirm on the manufacturer's website. With a manual I believe that a tachometer wire also needs to be connected (not 100% sure that is correct though) and you obviously couldn't leave it in 1st gear when you're parked and could only park with the e brake on when trying to remote start your truck.
your probably not going to want the remote start fetcher.
Your relays are wired a little wrong. Check out Precision Connections vid. I wired mine his way. Then connected to the orange/blck and pink/black. Doors lock and unlock nice and solid.
Do you have a link?
Did you have to install a bypass module
I followed your directions works perfect but if i use remote start i can not shut the truck off with the key i have to shut it off with the remote start
Will the engine shut off then you press on the brakes and you have not put the key in the ignition yet? Because if not then you may have a faulty remote start unit, otherwise possibly your constant power and main power could be flip flopped
My original remote was damaged. I do not have no remote for 2001 dodge ram 1500 2 door truck. Can I disconnect original wires and add new system for locks
You definitely can but I think it'll be way easier if you can just figure out which wires are your lock and unlock wires and connect in your new system, rather then disconnecting the old system and redoing everything including the relays
I did everything as you showed but my locks won’t work on the remote. I can hear the relays click and my dome light dims, I can even kinda hear it in the doors but it doesn’t actually lock or unlock. Any suggestions??
I know this is not helpful to you. But if you do not mind me asking what kit did you purchase, and what year is your vehicle?
Did your remote start kit have a oil pump wire?
Use acc wire
Can someone tell me where to order this system I can’t find it anywhere
Hey Mr. Handy-Mann. In regards to ur video it was good and i installed mine, however i couldnt get the locks to work correctly with the black/orange and pink/black wire. kept popin fuses even with a 30. help
I'm trying to remember if I ended up switching to a 40 fuse. Did I mention which fuse I switched to?
@@Handy-Mann 30 amp
@@timothygeter9259 is it the fuse you added that's popping? Or the two fuses that came with the remote start that are popping. Also I wrote in towards the end (can't quite find a time for you) that I ended up switching the two red wires that provide power and constant power. Did you follow that step?
@@Handy-Mann it was the inline fuse I added. Everything was wired up to make the positive pulse output but the wires that u used vs. The wires on mine (95) I believe called for 2 different color wires but it kept poppn. However on the remote start part of it I can program mine to change my special options without the op500 programmer as my truck is diesel..the company compustar said they dont let customers have the firmware needed for the programmer only to dealers. smh
@@timothygeter9259 that's unfortunate on the firmware. And you could be right on the wires being different colors. I know they changed some things in the 98+ models and I have an 01. You might try either going up to a 40 amp or potentially you might need to test and check the wires for a different wiring set up. Is the remote start working and are the doors working?
Someone needs to count how many umms he says in this video I bet it's so many hahaha
What if my truck has manual door locks since my truck is a base model how can i make it close with remote:)
You'll have to look into door lock actuators first
@@Handy-Mann once i order the actuators how will i wire it?:)
Do i neeeeed the relay
Has anyone tried this on a diesel 98-01?
I will say to anyone watching this, if your truck has the factory alarm system, you don’t need the relays, it even says on the bulldog wiring diagram, you can tell if you have the factory alarm and fob system if you have a little box wired in under the steering wheel in the dash area
What kinda relays are those?
If you Google relay and put in the numbers I mention around the 28 minute mark, you should be able to find the proper ones. I didn't have a preference as to what brand so I just got the cheapest and they've been working good for at least a year now
@@Handy-Mann thanks for the reply back, i ended up finding them. Now the fun begins. Haha
Handy-Mann
sorry for being a pest but I'm stuck and want to get the door locks to work what wire did you use from the compustar the blue or which please cause when you went to door locks you lost me I got the remote starting to work with your help greatly appriciated there if you don't want to help that's ok I understand But I'm LOST!!!! Help please LOL
thank you
suzuki rider did you follow my explanation of the relays?
sorry that's where I got confused on
suzuki rider so do you have an aftermarket key fob? Or a factory installed key fob?
Factory Key fob
suzuki rider so I don't think my wiring video will work for your truck for the lock and unlock wiring. Go to bulldogsecurity.com and look up the wiring diagram for your truck and download the pdf for the lock and unlock wires. I believe since you have the factory key fob you already have on-board door lock relays, so follow the wiring diagrams labeled "with On-board Door Lock Relays" unfortunately there's 3 different wiring set ups and I'm not sure which one is the one you'll need. Sorry I can't be much more help then that, but I believe you already have relays wired in so there's no need to add them to your truck like I do in this video.
I'm Guessing the remote start wont work with the manual transmission?
Skyler Zuck not this specific model of remote start no
you could but you could accidentally start it while in gear lol
i didnt read all the comments as i know there are some haters there, Will this be the same for a 95 Ram?
It will be a very similar procedure, however the wire colors may be different. Be sure to look up on bulldog.com for your wiring schematic to get the correct colors and locations for your year and you should be good to go!
Everyone use posi taps instead of the red things this guy is having problems with.
Don’t ever use tap splices they are trash
Where did you look up the wire diagram on
