Not sure how much experience installing electrical stuff but, you may be in over your head with this. Installing Alarms and Auto Starts on modern vehicles with factory anti-theft systems, like the PATS key system require an add on kit to bypass the system and thus make the truck start. Incorrectly connecting outputs from this alarm may damage electronics on your truck. Almost everything is computer controller these days. You'd be better off finding a reputable shop that installs alarms/stereos. They will know exactly how to make it work correctly. We used to refer customers to a shop that installed Viper systems for 2 reasons. 1). the alarm had a lifetime warranty, so if anything failed it was replaced at no cost. 2). They were able to install the system in a day, and their work was also guaranteed.

I am not familar with the brand of sytem your purchased, but we used to see many strange electrical issues that were eventually traced back to a failed alarm control module. It put the owner of the vehicle in a real pickle. Either disconnect the auto start/alarm or have a new one installed.
