99 ram door lock/unlock register

Asked by Pantiedroppindodge Feb 22, 2019 at 07:43 AM about the 2000 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT Club Cab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Normally when the truck is locked you walk up
unlock door with key as soon as you unlock the
interior lights turn on and the alarm turns off
however I can unlock the door but the lights inside
don’t turn on and then when I try to start it it
seems like no spark or something truck will turn
over. Now for the hard part.  What part inside the
door registers that I have unlocked the door so I
can turn this alarm off. Door actuators or is there
some sort of micro switch somewhere but it has to
be something that lets the truck know the door has
been properly opened so it disables the alarm.
Thanks for your response

Ok guys I got the solution. I opened the passenger door there is two wires that head to the door lock I skinned both of them ordered me a 1.5 k ohm resistor half watt and touched it to the two wires. The doors were locked and shut when I did this When the resistor made the circuit the dome lights turned on I unlocked the doors by hand since windows were open and truck started flawlessly so if a factory alarm is keeping you out try this fix cost me $6.35 for a pack of ten resistor from amazon I hope this helps people save thier truck I know it just gave this one life till it rots out from under me thatbks for any and all who posted
