Any tips installing this in a 96 Dodge Ram (5 wire reverse polarity locks)?

The way I did it was to remove the door panel the master lock control has two wires open and close and the neg. wire goes to grd.

I can't answer, I threw them away after reading from a few reviewers that the polarity is switched (neutral and common wires are backwards.) I suggest you seek out an alternate item just to be safe.

I hard wired mine. Put a junction box behind each. You can google wiring instructions if that's what you're gonna do.

Also be sure to make sure you have your radio code if required, if you choose to disconnect the negative battery terminal while installing. Good luck

Hi;It is VERY important to have a professional installer instal this kind of item for you, one wrong wire and you can damage not only the item but also components of your car. Naturally we can also not give advice over an email or a forum.Ariya

its tricky 1st I took off the interior panels so I can see the inside of the hatch so I don't drill any wires. Then I drilled a 3/8 hole behind the Lic plate ...camera bolts up to the lic plate bracket and the wires run through the 3/8 hole then I just run a large bead of silicone to cover the hole. the rest of the wires are inside the hatch tie wire and make sure nothing is in its way and visaversa windows going up and down....etc....Thats how I did my runner also then you run new wires for the reverse lights fallow the wires for the lic. plate lights or fallow the wires for the wireless remote factory on the Van.the runner ran from the lock through the hatch and up to the top then down on the body pillar to the brake light area....all inside the body.... That was the only hard part....... to get power I found a charger that plugs in to the cig lighter and spliced it .

It will work. The 5th wire is the reverse lights not applicable here. The 5th prong just overhangs

It's quite difficult to know for sure what additional parts are needed. The best advice I could give you would be to call your local best buy and speak to a geeksquad technician. Have your vehicle make, model, sub model, and year available as well as this products number. I would also recommend you have them install it. Far simpler, thought a bit more expensive. I was charged $175 for the install but it was well worth it as having a viper authorized installer install the product is the only way to receive the warranty (including the $2500 warranty). As an example however, my 2004 Dodge Ram needed a ball bearing hood kill switch ($10), an extra relay ($13), and that was it. Then there was the install which cost $150. Something to consider is that you need to know whether or not your car has a sentry key. Mine does not, so I avoided have to pay an extra $100 for a bypass module to circumvent the chip embedded in the key. Some vehicles need up to 5 additional relays, a ball bearing hood kill switch, a bypass module, and additional labor to program auxiliary functions (such as tool box unlock, etc). Be prepared to spend at least $175 on top of the purchase price for the module if you intend to have it installed by a professional (which I recommend). Another option to consider is to simply purchase this product from Best Buy. If you do, the install is free with purchase, although you will still have to pay for the additional parts such as additional relays, kill switches (if the ones provided aren't compatible with your vehicle), and bypass modules if needed. It may or may not be cheaper to go that route. I paid $73 for the kit here on amazon and then $175 for the install at best buy for a net cost of about $250 in total. Hopes this helps.

The unit uses a circuit which switches polarity to lock and unlock. This can be done using relays. Make sure your 12v power supply has enough amperage

Watch a YouTube video first, or Google a photo of it installed in your type of car.it worked in my car,and I have what you would describe as "side movement style"locks

Polarity does matter, but the wire colors have changed from batch to batch (I've ordered several pairs over the past few years), making trial and error the only way to tell which is positive and which is negative. There is no harm hooking it up backwards, it just won't work until hooked up correctly. I have only had one break a wire internally (after crashing the dirtbike and breaking the mounting screw, it dangled by the wire for several miles before we noticed it.) Once home, just took it apart and re-soldered the wire to the board, replaced the broken screw, and back in business again.

This is kind of difficult to connect as you need to identify the wire which send current to the reverse lights and connect it to that.... For every vehicle it's different hence I would suggest you get a technician to sort that out for you

Chances are you will need to buy an adaptor kit. It depends on the thread size on your dodge.

You can install on the cooler line if you have the proper hardware, I dont think it will be as accurate as installing into the transmission, I have a 96 dodge ram 1500 and there was a spot already plugged that I used it was on the rear passenger side of the transmission, I would recommend using teflon tape or something like it for a nice seal

First you need to strip the cover enough to put it into the fuse fully. Take the exposed wire and hold it in place and screw it down. That's all it takes
