Did you turn off the front and rear fault detection circuits that are normally enabled on the led trucks? There are four of them under CBC I/O Usage:

Driver door ajar switch usage > disable

Front passenger door ajar switch usage > disable

Left rear door ajar switch usage > disable

Right rear door ajar switch usage > disable

I know it doesn’t sound right being “door ajar”, but you’ll see once you select value that they are the lamp diagnostics circuits that are normally disabled on non led light trucks.

I replaced my Front Turn Signal bulbs to LED. My Truck is a Big Horn Harvest Edition. 2018 2500. I am getting Hyper Flash. Will i need Resistors or can I use Alpha to correct this.

Try setting the front turn signals and parking lights to “LED”.

So after a couple of Key cycles and doing nothing to change the settings the Turn signals now work fine without Hyper Flashing and no Bulb out message. Interesting. Will see what happens.

Sometimes the BCM finally picks up on them. You might also be sitting at a stop light for a while with the turn signal on, and it will start to hyper flash again.

I spent the morning yesterday with Rick "RicksRam" and Nathan "STecoD" working on my Ram adding a bunch of cool factory options. I do have to say these guys are off the hook when it comes to adding factory options and working with the AlfaOBD program. There is no question they know there Ram's!


In a super fast two hours they did the following:


Wired and enabled fogs lights / Thanks to Mike G. “M2 mods” for the fog extension harness.

Enabled fog lights on with high beams.

Enabled console mounted CD player.

Enabled console mounted SD card reader.

Enabled "Sport" theme in EVIC cluster.

Enabled global windows down with key fob.

Installed over head console with euro map lenses and home link.


As I will be adding more factory options soon I will continue to keep posting updates with the details on the forum. Again thank you Rick and Nathan for all the hard work you have done on my Ram, I am still figuring out how to repay you guys for all your time and hard work. It was great to meet you guys for the first time yesterday and I am looking forward to us getting together soon for the next round of upgrades to my Ram. :)

In the known working doc. Just replace the Limited with Sport.


EVIC Splash Screen (for Limited logo): (2015 to present trucks)

Vehicle Configuration 1: Special Package

Select "Limited"

Vehicle Configuration 2: Special Package

Select "Limited"

I can say I have successfully added OEM front Parksense to my 2017 Ram 2500 Tradesman today. I bought a front bumper from a gentleman with a 2016 Bighorn and he opted for a steel off-road bumper without reusing his sensors and left them in the bumper. I already had purchased the switch panel when I added the auxiliary switches so I just received my wiring harness for the front fog lights and sensors along with the front & rear Parksense module to replace my factory rear only pts module. All works great. Without even enabling my settings for front pts yet the display pops on on the 3.5" basic evic. Very satisfied. Just enabled the volume for front Parksense and the customer settings menu for front Parksense as well. We will see how long it takes to appear on my UAQ. Also the match the front chrome sensors I bought Chrysler bright silver paint and paint matched my factory black rear sensors which look identical now to the fronts. Blue connector is the extra connector used for the front Parksense.

Is there a way to disable front parking lamps completely so only the tail lights come on when the headlight switch is moved to the middle position?

A bit more help please.

#1-I need to disable the lamp out warning for the DRL’s this time. Again BCM came from a truck with all leds and my truck is all analogue. I’m getting error codes for the left and right front DRL’s being out.

Nevermind #1 - I found what I hope is the info I need in a few postings about DRL's from people going to leds. Unless there is some non obvious settings like those door ajar settings for lamp out detection.

#2-Does anyone know what BCM settings deal with turning on Cruise Control?

Works just like that.... Definitely helps the 3500 roll the 40s like their stock... Doesn’t hunt for gears when pulling a goose neck up a steep grade....

Hill Descent Control helps this?
Not sure how it would. Hill descent control can only be used in 4 LO, and when going less than 5mph.

Look for Cruise Feature is Present under Vehicle Config 2 to see if it is set.
