error message front parking out

[Chuck Whittington]

when I changed my leds to my turn signal from parking lamps I get parking light out error on both sides. What do I need to do?

Your question isn't very clear. Front or rear? Did you switch to or from led?

If you switched from a halogen lamp to an LED you must do 1 of these:

1. Use CANbus error-free LEDs (they have an integral load resistor).
2. Alternately, use AlfaOBD and reprogram the truck to let it know you have LED lamps in that socket.

Sorry of not being clear. I put LED switchbacks in my turn sig. after programing and then added Halo tied to parking LTs than changed to turn sig. Now getting Error parking lights out.

Put the halos back on the parking lights.

The problem is the way switchback bulbs work. When the turn signal comes on the park light is shut off. In the newer trucks, the computer sees the current go to zero and thinks the bulb burnt out.

You need around a 50ma load for the computer to think the bulb isn't out. I had same issue on my 18, created a test setup for the bulb so I could see what was going on. On my 18 I added 300ohm resistors to solve the problem. Your halos should provide enough load.

Thank you. That what I thought too was going on.
