Pro tip , if you got aftermarket fog lights just wire it to those less to go wrong with your actual parking lights. Not likely to have trouble but it has happened
I've got a 91 and I have spent enough time making it new again I'm going to take it to best buy! I've just tired of working on the dam thing! I say that now! lol
Wow, I never thought this video would get this many views. Sorry everyone, I haven’t really been paying any attention to the comments for over a year now. I will try to pay more attention to my channel in the future. For those having problems, I again ask that you check out www.the12volt.com as your first step. It will give you all the wire colors and locations for your specific vehicle. I scrapped this pickup truck nearly 2 years ago and don’t really remember anything else outside of this video, so I doubt that I would be much help anymore. I should also mention that these trucks were sometimes wired differently depending on the year and style (some use relays and some don’t). This truck didn’t need any relays in the stock power lock system and I didn’t need to add any either. However, I now have a 1992 GMC Suburban and it uses relays in the stock locking system and will probably need a different wiring procedure (I don’t know for certain as I haven’t tried as of now). The locking system is a Viper 211HV and it was ordered on Amazon.com. You might also be able to find it (or a similar one) in local auto parts stores.
John, great video first of all. I have an 88 Chevy and I'm having a ton of trouble getting it wired up. I noticed you did not use any relays...all the information I found online says to use two relays per door...but yours is clearly working. I am SUPER lost...can you help me Sir?
Sorry quick question. Where did you get so many wires my alarm only came wit one unlock and lock . and it only gives out negative current so i had to get relays . dose yours give out positive . ?
John did you have to use relays to work with the module? I have a 91 Silverado that I would like to install keyless entry on and I'm researching. Thanks
I did not have to use any extra relays. The keyless entry unit has relays built in. Being a 1991 Silverado, the wiring should be very similar to mine as this truck was a 1990 Silverado.
I have a 91 chev as well just need the door locks to work. the KES i purchased has a lock and unlock wire. so you cut the blue and just splice lock into it? or do you need to make a circuit?
What is the brand and model number of your KES? It would be easier to help with that information. However, I will assume that it is similar to the Viper system in my video and I will answer the best I can. The blue wire will need to be cut in half. On your KES, there should be 2 wires for the lock and 2 wires for the unlock. If a diagram came with the KES, it should have the wires labeled. One wire should be labeled something like “Lock Normally Closed”. This wire (white and black in my case) should go to the drivers side of the blue wire. Another wire should be labeled something like “Lock Common Output”. This wire (green and black in my case) should go to the passenger side of the vehicle. For the unlock circuit, there should be a black and white wire that needs to be cut in half. The wire on the KES labeled something like “Unlock Normally Closed” (red and black in my case) goes to the drivers side of the unlock wire. Another wire labeled something like “Unlock Common Output” (blue and black in my case) should go to the passenger side of the unlock wire. If there is anything else I can do, or if I wasn't clear enough, feel free to ask.
thanks for the video! I just bought exact model to install in my 93 gmc. my only question is the purple and black wire connected to the constant hot orange and black. on the viper diagram says the purple and black wire is "lock normally open input". I'm confused because there is a "unlock normally open input" that doesn't get spliced anywhere? I just going for basic setup like yours. any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your comment. The horn wire is a black wire under the steering column. For more information, check out this site: www.the12volt.com/. It has color codes for most makes and models. It's the site I used to connect my keyless. Just click on Vehicle Wiring near the top of that page, and enter your vehicle information as it asks. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Good luck.
For those having trouble, please go to this site first www.the12volt.com. Click on wiring diagrams and enter your vehicle information as asked. It should show what the different colored wires are used for (such as lock, unlock, horn, parking lights, etc), including where they are located. This is the same site I used to install mine. Stoney Denetclaw, I won't be able to help too much with your vehicle because I think that the lock systems changed between my 1990 and your 1997, and I have never worked on one of these trucks from the late 1990's (they are the same body style with different electronics). See if you can find your information in the site I listed, and hopefully that will set you on the right track.
I did not have to use a fuse for the parking lights. This is because the keyless module sends a 12 volt pulse to the lights. The power that it gets to do that has already been fused where it is connected to the battery (in fact, I think that mine had fuses built into the power inputs).

Wow, I have a 1990 C3500 dually, Thhis will help 100% I'm sure, Thanks from 6 years in the future. LOL

There are exactly same wires also in 1992 Chevy K1500 .
Nice video. Have the same viper in my 99 yukon
I have the same truck and hooked mine up the same way you did if you press the lock button twice the horn will hunk
Well, I figured it out. I actually had to use two relays in my case, possibly a bad ground on my switch.

When you cut for the door locks behind the speaker. Do you cut or splice and if you cut how do you know what end to use.

John the video was very helpful in infomation on this, but i do have a question did you have to take off the door panels
Sorry quick question. Where did you get so many wires my alarm only came wit one unlock and lock . and it only gives out negative current so i had to get relays . dose yours give out positive . ?
I have a 1989 Chevy Scottsdale will this work with that

John winfrey did you find out where that goes to?
Thanks for the video and information. Very helpful. What color is the horn wire on the truck that you attached to? Thanks again, Mike

Is this site no longer available? I am not able to access the site on a computer or smartphone. Doesn't give me an error, just loads a blank page.

here did you buy the alarm system at
www.amazon.com/Viper-211HV-1-Way-Keyless-System/dp/B001ANXNIW
Did you have to use a fuse when hooking up the parking lights flash?
