Alpharex Pro G2 - Parking Light Out - help needed

Yazen said:

So a year ago, I purchased alpharex G2, i got parking light out message, contacted alpharex, they sent me resistors, installed resisters, message went away until a month or so ago.

I contacted alpharex, they sent me new resistors, I replaced them, parking light out messages never went away, I cleared it with alphOBD, nope still comes up every time I break, or use right/left signals.

I thought they must have sent me the wrong resisters, so I bought a set from AutoZone, Sylvania LED Load Resistor. Same issue!

About a week ago I changed left/right turn signals, parking/marker lights to LED in AlphaOBD, cleared all error codes, but I still get the error message and a ding.

It is driving me crazy! Not sure what else to do. Any advice or recommendation is highly appreciated.

Thank you

You are SOOL homie ... I got the same thing when I bought some Alpharex headlights myself too... they were no help .. crappy company that doesn't care about customer service .... they have no clue, they have no solution, why? They don't make their headlights here, they are made overseas and have no understanding of the internals of these headlights ....

My truck is a 2018, I am seeing this happening to a lot of trucks the same year or newer ... there are also some older trucks, but these trucks just don't like any interruption to the signal lights, side markers or the drls ....

In ALFAOBD there is no setting for the parking lamps which is what "I" think is causing these errors ...

I just installed some ANZO USA headlights, well exactly a month ago now, I got them October 10th ... this whole time they were working fine, they need 3 resistors, one for the drls, one of the highs, one for the lows ... I didn't get single light out warning until about a week ago ..

I removed the resistors, switched some settings with ALFAOBD and it's been good so far....

If you have ALFAOBD you can change a few settings around that might help your situation ... I wouldn't even bother with AlphaRex, they are useless ...

You are absolutely right about Alpharex. I spent 52 minutes talking to them, they have no clues! They suggested I replace the low light bulbs!! What!!? Are yiu kidding me! That has nothing to do with the parking light out!

Any suggestions on what else to switch to LED in AlphaOBD?

I am stuck and don't know else to do! Very frustrating!

Thanks

If you can maybe post your backup file I might be able to see what you got that you can possibly change ... I went through a few setting combinations until I found one that seems to be working now ...

Believe me, I know how you feel homie .... I will try and help you as much as I can ... if you are not comfortable sharing your back up file here, send it in private message

Guess what! I left work and thought I'd make some more changes in AlphaOBD. I changed low, hi beams, break lamp, rear turn signals all to LED, then cleared fault codes, removed battery terminals for about 5 minutes, reconnected terminal, and OMFG I did not get any messages driving all the way home!!

I am hoping this fixes it. Still gonna share the settings with you here in a moment as I just got home, need to fire up the computer and send yiu the file.
