They aren't that bad... does it have factory keyless entry? I'd test it first to make sure, sometimes there is no need for it even.

it's easy. puls the door ajar wire before unlock.. or is that dodge???

switch unlock to double pulse... first pulse will pulse the door ajar wire and wake the GEM. The wires do need to be diode isolated though... Atleast that is how I've always done it.

If it has factory alarm you also need to pulse the factory alarm disarm(diode isolate also) and hook factory alarm disarm wire to it.

or that too...

There are actually numerous ways to do this but it seems as if the most common ways have been covered. I hate gem module based cars. Ford finally did away with them on the focus this year.

i am having the kid check for me. it is on ranger-forums. gonna sell him a avital 4100 and a 556u. and then where does one get diodes from and a resisters to do things? i had a pack of resistors but managed to loose them.directechs said if it doesnt have a the factory alarm it is a 5wire hookup.

1 amp diode

I dont think you will need any resistors. If it does you can get them at radio shack.

I believe it is if it doesnt have keyless than it is five-wire. And then you will not have to wake up the gem module.

Also there is a direct fax that will show you exactly how to wire it for wake-up.

rado shack for diodes and resistors

yeah i know i dont need resistors but they would be nice to have some 1500s on hand incase someone comes at me with a chrysler. i guess i will order some or go and check out radio shak. i saw the directfax about it i was just wondering how hard it is to actually exicute. i thought i heard before that you needed a relay.

 

[Worlddre 5,000+ posts]

no relay needed for the wakeup

 

[mokedaddy 5,000+ posts]

You can use a relay but its more of a pain in the *** IMO. Like I said there are many ways to do it.

Its really easy to wire up especially if it doesnt have a factory alarm.

 

[THUNDERBIRD 10+ year member]

yeah i am hoping it doesnt have one.

peripherial has a risistor pack.. comes with all the resistors you need in individule baggies with the risistance labeld.. i love it!
