I just had a body lift installed on my 2016 Ram and now my headlights and front signals don’t work and I get the code flashing on my dash about it. The fog lights work and the park lights, but not the headlights and signals. Please help with any ideas. Thanks

The simplest answer would be they didn't get the harness plugged in properly.

I just double checked the headlights and my headlights are blinking like the signal lights should be when I turn my signals on. Does that mean that something is just plugged in backwards?

Usually the factory plugs can only plug in one way and into the corresponding plug. Maybe they left a ground unhooked? The best thing to do if your not finding anything simple is to take it back and let the installer of the lift figure it out. At least call and explain the issue and maybe they will know what is causing it.

Unfortunately they haven’t been able to find anything that would cause it. They said they added a couple extra grounds trying to fix it and still didn’t work

Maybe they smashed over some pins on the male side of the connectors

Not really any help here, but why would you even unplug the lights for a bodylift?

if it's the zone 1.5" version, you have to relocate the bumper after drilling new holes

They probably pinched a harness and are pleading ignorance because your name is Kristy. Have them fix it at their cost.

Well yea, I would guess any brand body lift has to raise the bumper. So maybe unhook fog light harness if you completely remove it, but cant imagine you would have to do anything with the headlights.
