I dont know I will have to check in the morning

thanks for the tip
Did you enable the approach lights with Alfa? Some settings take a while to show up, I’ve had to wait up to an hour for some of my changes to “sync”. I’ve read some that have had things show up the next day.
If it was already enabled they should work, I agree that it would be unlikely that both are out, but not impossible.

No I did not activate with Alfa. I checked the lights this morning and no way for me to turn on, i tried the keyfob and the inside light dimmer. The amber lights work for the directional's but not under neath for the white lights to work.

I did I v6 efan swap in my 2010 1500. My tuner does not give me the option to change my fan temp. Can I change it using AlfaOBD?

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.

Is there a way to activate the elevated idle function with the cruise control, like the trucks that have a PTO? I see settings for it but haven't had any luck. I'd like to be able to bump the idle up on the fly.

Can't locate the thread about adding power fold/memory mirrors but there's a deal on a set of non tow, power fold memory mirrors on LetGo in Spartanburg SC (near me) for $200.
Info/link added to eBay/classified section for those interested.

Along with the trailer select, name and type set to yes, is this the other setting for the trailer brake controller? TIA3ecd44fbcf0f69335f936fa867a41e3a.jpg

I would LOVE to have that on a 1/2 tonner
I saw a VID for a JEEP programmer that has idle rpm change and can "idle up" tro at least 1600 RPM on a WRANGLER
software was obd Jscan I know the Wrangler are NON "powernet" so like a PRE 13 RAM the Jscan VID the guy does it "live" with it running and it responds while running

Sorry to ask this once again, but I never got any responses.

Does anyone have a backup of their AlfaODB "Engine" Config settings (PCM) for a truck with a 6-speed transmission they can share with me? Please ?

I was causing through the engine computer, and saw something along the lines of "engine de-soot".

Is that running a manual regen?

I'm trying to clear this code:
Implausible Data Received from AHBM

Last test completed unsuccessfully
Error present
Failure warning lamp 'ON': Not requested​


I have turned off all the ahbm settings I can find using ahbm or high beam from search terms.. Can anyone help?

I was trying to enable it before I realized you had to have the modules present.. Thanks!
Also any tips to get the HVAC config to change to Single Zone Auto, I changed it to multi zone Auto, but I can't seem to get it to change back to any single zone....
So it has been since last Wednesday I have had the HVAC config changes to Single Zone ATC. My truck came as single zone mtc, and I changed it to multi zone ATC.. I cannot get it to change back to Single zone ATC or MTC. It is stuck on multi zone ATC..It works ok, just the second zone does nothing. I'd like to have it behave correctly. Any tips on getting the single zone atc to take?
