No DRL’s. Where to wire for “always on?”

SOB!! I do have that setting for the daytime running lights! Maybe I’ll splice into that if the add a circuit doesn’t pan out.
Thanks!

yes, that’s what I’ve been working with. I don’t have an F66 there. Just goes to 64. In my manual, F66 is located in the internal power distribution center under the passenger side control panel.
On the engine compartment fuse box, use fuse F43 or F38. Those are run relay fused circuits, so the lights will come on when the truck is running or the ignition is in the run position (but not when the ignition is in accessory).

Thought I had it figured out once I got the DRL’s on via the settings in my radio and spliced my amber lights into the hot wire for the headlight. But the ambers don’t come on with the DRL’s. Only once the full headlights come on. I did try the fuse for the adjustable pedals (F20), but that left the the lights on even with the ignition off. Next nice day I have here, maybe I’ll splice in a plug to the headlight wire and try those other fuses mentioned so they’re on when the ignition is on.

Option for what? DRL’s?
I have 2014 Laramie, dealer activated mine to have amber all the time.

He used dealer connect and activated Sales Code LM5.

You may have option to activate yourself since you have 2019.

I had the dealer do the same for me on my 2016 Limited.

Got the DRL’s on in the lights menu in settings! But as stated above, they only go on when the headlights are on full, not in DRL mode. Task for another day I guess!

AlfaOBD lets you set a variety of different lights to be your DRLS. As does Ram Tazer.
