On my 2012 express I added color matched mirrors with the puddle lights a year or two back. Plugged them in and of course need a code to flash for them to function. One dealer refused to even try the other told me a minimum of 2 hours labor and there was no guarantee that they would flash it right (seems a little overkill to me but it is what it is). Anyone know the code or know how I can find it? Also anyone with any experience with any dealers in central California that are good for service and such would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

"The turn signals and puddle lights can be activated if you have a dealership flash the sales codes LEB and LEC to your truck."

Found the above info in another thread about swapping to them.

Just took mine in for this service today. $98 service manager was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. However, the lec is not working. Turn signals work but puddlel ights do not. Will have to go back on monday.

So glad to hear that so many dealerships are open to doing this, we just had a new one open up about an hour away, maybe I will try them! Thanks!

Cali,

I am having issues with my puddle lights. Dealer checked and lec is in my truck.

Should i reset truck by draining battery to see if a reset works.

Any suggestions would be great. The turn signals work fine and mirror directions are fine.

I am using eccp mirrors.

Did you add the puddles or did they come factory?

I ordered the chrome version last night for my 2011 but I am installing on a Laramie so it already has the codes and factory turn/puddles. Hope you get it working! ...And hope mine work properly out of the box or I'll be back here myself!

Sorry to dig this up, but did you ever get this figured out? When I was in for my last service, I had the dealer add the 3 codes for the Tow Mirrors:

LEB - Turn Signals
LEC - Courtesy/Puddle Lamps
LEG - Correct Flipped up operation

Today I finally got my aftermarket tow mirrors and installed them. The signal lights work fine (LEB) and the flipped up operation works as well (LEG) but the puddle lights don't seem to work. Is there anywhere to test/validate that I have the LEC code installed? Would I see an option in the dash menu on when/how they should turn on? And secondly, when exactly should they turn on? I've really just tried unlocking, as I assume that they should go on when I unlock the door.
