I went and put my stock front turn signal marker bulbs in. No more issue with that ding and park lamp out, and no more codes in the bcm

Was that the front turn signal bulbs or the front side marker bulbs?

IIRC, the marker lights are the only lamp without an LED option in AlfaOBD, is that correct?

I'm not using the PC with AlfaOBD, ATM.

My Quad headlights only have HI LO headlight bulbs and 3157 turn signal/parking/marker bulbs. the way the BCM has it does not make sense to me, I can disable DTC for the parking lights up front, just as you can for the parking lights in back, but it still sets a code for "marker" light out front left, and front right

Okay, so, I found my problem and it may or may not help with yours. I have 3 amber grill lights on my truck that I recently replaced but they just wouldn't work. So I rewired them with new connectors and they started working again and the parking light out error never popped up again.

Do you have any external lighting that may be tapped into your headlight harness or something? Maybe even just a light bar might do it because my amber lights aren't even tapped into my headlights to my knowledge. If you do have a light bar, I'd just go turn it on and throw on your turn signal just for sh*t's and giggles to see if that works.

Best of luck trying to get your problem fixed!

I do have a light bar in the bumper it is led, though I don't know where it is tied in exactly I have a switch and I believe it is tied to the constant power plug, in my truck it is the right side but it is usb not power point. would be interesting if that is it though lol. I found putting the stock incandescent back in the turn/park it stopped the issue maybe I will go into it more and find out.

I was having the same problem, but I went back into change car configuration, and don to CBC LED turn lights, went through the same procedure again ,selected yes, next then start. After that I exited Alpha OBD, turned the key off and waited five minutes, then put key back in, turned 2 clicks, and everything worked fine.. My turn signals are also my DRL, with switch back for sequential turn signals, my head lights are projector on LED.
