AlfaOBD

Sorry to repost this, but strangely, it still has not reset. I wonder if it is because my new mileage was less than the original mileage of that cluster?

You'll need to reset it manually. Either your next oil change or immediately. To reset, turn the key to run but don't start it, step on the gas pedal 3 times within 5 seconds, then turn take the keys out.

Yes. It's basically a standard obd2 reader. The obdlink mx will work on any vehicle equipped with a obd2 port. It's just the recommended reader to use with alfaobd. Alfaobd works with just about any FCA vehicle with a decent range of years. Alfaobd is not vin locked so it can be used on multiple vehicles at a time. Alfaobd is only tied to your Google account. It can be downloaded on as many devices as you want as long as they are tied to your Google account.

Here are some step by step instructions with pictures I did a while ago

Awesome, thank you. I am looking to install fog lights and want to use the OEM headlight switch with the push-button on. This was not coded into Tradesman level I guess, so not just plug and play. That and maybe a UAS radio upgrade are my next to modifications.

On a 2018 you will need the security bypass cable!! https://www.kaodtech.com/ram

I added factory fogs to mine. Get ahold of @M2Mods he makes the section of the fog light wiring that can't be bought through Mopar. Then you'll need the fog light jumper harness for +13. Same piece for 1500/2500/3500. You'll need the headlight switch. Programming fogs with alfaobd is easy.

@Brent Harris Here is the thread that'll blow your mind!

That's the route I would go to be safe myself. Restore the stock tune, make whatever changes in alpha, then reinstall the tune. I never had any issues with my Trinity and alpha when I used them simultaneously.

Ok maybe u can help me. I have a 2017 1500 and have used the Alpha to change quite a few setting and I’m very happy with it. Now I’m looking to swap out my PCM and get a tune. Will this reset everything back to factory? On the other hand I’m considering the Pulsar which does not require the PCM to be unlocked or changed. It will piggy back on the locked PCM. If I go that route will it reset any settings I changed. Thanks in advance.

Added power seat to my Express that didn't have power seat

What setting do I need to turn on to make the power seat work

2014 express seat came out a Rebel but not sure year. I know it not a Gen 5

There’s nothing to enable because the power seats don’t run through any modules. They get power straight from the battery, so if wired up correctly, they should just work, even when the truck is off.

As I understand it, nothing should be touched as far as things changed. The PCM items are different than the Body Control Module.

That what I thought but I'm not getting any type of seat adjustment
Maybe is there a fuse in the panel that I need to put in being I didn't have power seat

 

[jimlmackjr]

For the power seat do I need to have plug for the gray plug
After some reading I am missing the second harness.

Can someone link me to the location where to plug the harness in

Has anyone changed their quad headlight DRL location from high beams (default for Canadian trucks with quad headlights), to turn signals? Want to try this, curious if it will light the turn signals up in their dim or bright setting.

Not sure about how the turn signal will light but you may need to change the DRL setting from Canadian to Optional DRL to allow some of the available DRL settings to work.

@DeereGuy can sell you the harness you need to add power to your factory harness and power your seat. It's not wired from the factory.

His harness will power both seats or just the driver. Whatever your setup is.

Not a Canadian truck but I did set my DRL to the turn signal and they are 100% but I have aftermarket headlight housings.
