    Remote start added to 2020 Tradesman (SOLVED)

    Jim: Your a life saver. So I took the connector off the hood latch and with the latch closed, I measured 1K across the contacts. Reversed the wires at the connector and it now remote starts. Need to get a new housing for the connector as I could not get the wires out. Thanks again Jim!

    Remote start added to 2020 Tradesman (SOLVED)

    Jim: I have the wiring going to the correct pin on the C1 connector. I `built the hood connector as shown in the pdf where the upper wire goes to C1 pin 11 and the lower pin goes to ground. When the hood is closed, hood switch is closed and then the wire to pin 11 is now going to ground. I took...

    So when the dealer sets the XBM code, wouldn't the hood latch be set to yes? Trying to avoid buying the alphaobd system.

    Remote start added to 2020 Tradesman (SOLVED)

    I had the dealer set the XBM code. They told me the hood switch was not working which I fixed. Still won't remote start and I do not have the Alpha system. I assumed the dealer checked that. My dash shows the remote start canceled due to hood open.

Confirmed operation again and still bad. Tried putting original purple wire back at pin 11 and went to opposite pin. Still...

    Went and got the new remotes programmed and the dealer set the XBM code. Now my dash shows hood open and obviously remote won't work. Tailgate button does work now. Tried shorting the 2 pins at the hood switch with no luck. Based on the diagram and showing the wire side, I removed the purple...

    Remote start added to 2020 Tradesman (SOLVED)

    OK. I am in the process of removing the AMP. Disconnected the 2 connectors at the bottom and removed 3 of the 4 screws. Ther is no way for me to get to the forth screw as my hands are to big and the tool is too long as well. The brace next to it has no holes in it either. I also tried to see if...

    Remote start added to 2020 Tradesman (SOLVED)

    Picked up my new 2021 RAM 2500 TRADESMAN yesterday and tried to purchase the remote kit as I did not see the connector on the hood release, They told me it would not work and needed to install a after market kit. Anyone done this in the CT area?
