I requested access

I think I accepted it. I'm not very good with Google drive. I'm confused because looking at the document it's showing my 2017 BCM as well.

Here is the screenshot when I connected to it first which may be easier to read and I'm not sure why it has my 17' BCM configuration on the Google doc

Never mind looks like you can't read a scrolling screenshot on here

@JoeCo I'm going to have to say start with what could be the obvious, the headlight burned out. I'm guessing the headlight doesn't work if the truck isn't running? (This should rule out the BCM keeping the light off).
Lightbulbs will burn for hours on end, what shortens their life is being turned on.

Thanks for responding Crash...tried to hit the lights with the truck off and it’s still out so I guess that one is dead...definitely disappointing but thank you for your help.

@crash68 after the sun went down I checked the lights again...looks like the drivers side that is out is still on but at about 1/2 strength. Checked by unlocking it with the remote, then putting the low beams on without truck running, and then finally the truck running with low beams on, under all of those scenarios the driver side low beam was on at about half strength. And on top of that, the low beam out message has disappeared during all of this too.

Still looking like your going to have to pull the headlight, try not to disturb any of the connections as you want to check the voltage going to the headlight bulb. Before you physically pull the headlight housing, turn it on just in case something is loose you'll see what the bulb does. It's best to check the voltage going to the bulb with the bulb still attached. Electrical connections can test fine until you put a load on them, that's when bad connections will usually show.

Cool thanks for your input, looks like I’ll have a little bit of a project once we get home tonight.

Distance and consumption units set the same? Same as tank size units? Other than that all I would think is by passing 91% it is telling itself thats not plausible due to another setting, except it usually gets set wrong then gives me not plausible errors when I goof

What do you mean by distance and consumption units? Yes its a stock 32 gallon tank.

Does anyone know if the 2018 ram 1500 big horn has the reverse tilt mirror memory? I was looking to turn it on with my OBD reader if it did.

it will only work if you have power folding mirrors

Ricks Ram · Jul 13, 2020

The tilt in reverse will only work on memory capable mirrors. These mirrors will not be available on a bighorn even if you have power fold mirrors. If a 4th gen mirror is memorable capable it will have 4 or more wires in the white mirror connector.

You actually need memory-capable mirrors, which by default are also folding.

99.9% of the memory capable mirrors will have chrome caps. The other 0.1% might be body matched painted, there seemed to be a few Sport models that might have come with them.

You do not need the actual memory function (seats, etc), you just need the mirrors that would have it. Then enabling Auto Tilt In Reverse through Alfa would make them tilt down in reverse.

Did this mod to my truck and like it very much. Got a decent deal on some chrome cap mirrors off a Harvest Edition

I know there is a setting in the bcm, veh. Config 5...7...? IDK, but the consumption units needs to be set to match (gallons/liters) as the tank size you input, EG 1 of Canada's is a 121L = 26.6 US Gallons. So miles per gal, or km per L

Have you set a target voltage for the headlamps? In the bcm menu, midway down before car configuration changes, you can select individual lamps/leds to turn on for about 15 secs. This will also let you know if your park lamps are set correctly, or your side markers, turnsignals with drl drop out functions etc. Set target voltage for 13v, if there is still an issue, id bet on a pinched wire

More than 4....4 works with non EC power folding heated, puddle, turn led tow mirrors with the ambient air temp sens. I just swapped mine that have all those features and 4 wires in the white ( lowest left) door module connector

Do both of your mirrors tilt? *dumb question* only my driver side does. Im baffled. All other functions are good

Both of mine auto tilt, yes. I dont think its a per-mirror setting so both should work or not work. Does the normal tilting (using the directional pad) work when adjusting your passenger mirror?

Also if you upgrade to the memory capable mirrors, make sure to enable the passenger auto dimming function. Big Horns dont have it from the factory (only on the drivers mirror)

I have a limited. I dont actually like the feature. I turned it off on the 8.4 settings, but was wondering if I had an issue, or if there is a lingering memory setting. I haven't even read up on it yet. The moment to ask just popped up. Thx though. Some day when I'm bored, ill look into it

On page one of this thread there is a link that will take you to a list of things that have been confirmed to work.
As for any articles written I'm not sure about that. Maybe somebody else can chime in if they seen that.....

Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Page 1 confirmations. I have a few but I wouldn't even begin to call them ok yet. Ive got HIDs with ballasts only, setting projector drls, air suspension set with rebel ride heights, leds anywhere, no resistors and proper lamp out warnings. Along with page one. If your looking to TRY some settings.

Thanks for the suggestion, I haven't checked that but will take a look at it tomorrow and see what is what.
