Daylight Running Lights 2019 RAM 1500 Laramie EcoDiesel

[drm074]

This question is specifically for only the 2019 models. I know all the tricks for all the other years however, something has changed as of 2019 and the dealers appear to be unable to unlock/activate daylight running lights on this specific year. I have been to 3 different dealers and none can figure out how to activate DLR.

There is no LM5, LM1 or LMK available for activating. There is no Canada/US option that the dealer can find. Has anyone else been able to get these turned on for 2019 models? As a significant safety feature, it is perplexing that this is an item that Dodge has chosen to make difficult to activate after years of dealers being able to simply add a sales code. I know there are trucks that are built and sold in areas that require DLR so hopefully someone has also come across this issue and has a solution.

I am not in the mood to purchase after market add-ons to accomplish what should be a standard or user available option for safety. Thanks

You’ll have to use software to enable them yourself. You can use AlfaOBD to do it. Everything you need to know about it in the very first post here- https://www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/

^^^what he said
Read through that first post, the Know Working list is especially helpful
There is even a video on how to:

Keep in mind that DRLs work when the truck is in gear and the parking brake is not set. Do not set DRL drop out if your wanting to use the Highs or Low beams.

Is this a 4th or 5th gen 2019?

Is this a 4th or 5th gen 2019?

It’s a 4th gen because it’s an eco diesel.

It's a 4th Gen. It's a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic EccoDiesel Laramie. Might be in the wrong forum but the Dodge dealers didn't even know what to call it. Now we know. But the question still remains.

My dealer did not know if my 2019 Laramie was 4th or 5th Gen either. Hopefully the info above will get your driving lights on for you. Good luck.
