Does anyone have the part numbers for the connector and pins for the connector circled in red in this picture?

I have installed my 2013 LED Sport tails onto my 2015 Ram 1500. I made adapters per the instructions found in this thread and the part numbers provided by 00R/T. Thanks for the information and work that went into figuring this out.

One item I noted with my installation. I did not install load resistors in my harness and do not have any errors or hyper flash issues, the tails works as they should and I'm not sure why! I also have not set the LED tail options with AlfaOBD.

^Would you have enough parts to make another set? And did you add the wire for the "fault sense?"

No, sorry. I don't have any extra parts left. I did not add the fault sense wire.

4.1 LED TAIL SIDE WIRING

If you sourced the LED pigtail from a junkyard, you will need to move one pin, and remove and discard another, as they are not all in the correct location for the 2013+ LED Tail Lights. Below is a picture of the contact that must be moved and removed and discarded.

Does anybody have a pic of what he's talking about?

I can't edit my original posting from 7 years ago! (That is an engineers' cheerful attempt at sarcasm! :) )

Here's the original pic for that step:

I just installed the 4TH GEN RAM TAIL LIGHT ADAPTER (V2.0) purchased from Retroshop with a set of led tail lights. I'm currently getting a parking light out and reverse light out. Everything is functioning correctly after install. To get these messages to go away do I need to change anything with AlphaOBD? I have not changed any settings yet.

Thanks in advance.

I had to set mine in alfaobd to led. I've set everything to led and so far zero issues. I also made my own adapter harness, not sure that makes a difference or not though.

You shouldn't need to change anything with those adapters from Jeremy. (I had the v1 w/ large resistors on my 13 ram 1500).

Did you contact him to ask about it?
