2015 Laramie LED's working perfect (so far), but...

[GeauxinUp]

Installed LED's into my factory projectors and did all the BCM programming w/ AlfaOBD and so far everything seems to be working perfectly. Lights wouldn't come on at all before the programming...why do 15's have to be such a PITA? Also disabled the fog dropout.
BUT, I still can't get my DRL's to turn on (and yes I've checked with truck in drive). Can somebody point me to a solid list of all the settings to have the DRL's come on to make sure I haven't skipped over anything. I can't even remember what all I have done, because I tried different things from different posts.

Thanks.

Check the "Known Working List" in the first post of the AlfaOBD thread:

AlfaOBD

Please Read!!! Supported years: 2013 to 2018 Make a backup of your original BCM configuration before making any changes. While we have a few BCM configs to compare with, there is nothing like comparing to your own pre-changes. Instructions: Uploading System ID (BCM) Information: Thank you...

That what I followed to set up my Dedicated DRLs on my '15 but you can select whichever location you want, I even have the DRL On/Off option in the radio (8.4) menu. I believe you can check and toggle that same point with AlfaOBD if you don't have the option in the radio.
Just to recap, DRLs illuminate with the vehicle in gear and the parking brake is not set.

Thanks crash, I believe this is the procedure I followed, I still didn't have the DRL on/off option in the factory 8.4 (RA4 I believe is what it's referred to as?), and my DRL's aren't working. I had them set to high beam. I've since swapped the factory head unit for an android unit from Amazon (wanted car play), and it does show the on/off in the settings, but I think that's just something preloaded into the software. I'll recheck everything today and see if I can make any progress.

Also, how do I get my signature lines to show below my posts?? I've updated it in my settings.

Looks like you were updating the "About You" instead of the actual Signature box in the settings. I copied and pasted it over for you.

As for your DRLs, when making changes with AlfaOBD it's a good idea to only make one change at a time and wait 5 minutes between when making multiple changes. I was surprised when everything worked first through when I added the DRL to my '15

Haha, thanks man. Sorry for the newbie mistake!

Yeah, waiting seems to be hit or miss. When I disable the fog light drop out, it was instant, but other things were an on-off-on and wait. Will follow up when I get a chance to work on it.

Ran back through all the settings, and I now have the fog lights functioning as the DRL’s!

I also checked for any faults before logging off alfaobd, and I’ve got 2 codes now with no CEL. Should I be concerned about these causing LED issues down the road? My test drive (about 30 miles) last night didn’t yield any problems with flickering, drop out, etc.
