Need some more info

Year of your truck
Stock or aftermarket headlights
Any upgrades to them? Led's

2015 6.7 I got used. No leds in rear. Front headlamps , fog lamps. Roof mount leds also

 

[Frank spinster]

I changed all rear bulbs plus roof mount bulbs over bed.

 

[Frank spinster]

All front but marker bulbs are led. Only at night does it say check parking light

 

[1500ram12]

If I understand what you said, you upgraded to led's in the front and not the rear.

2015 is a bad year for led's. You have 2 options.

Cheaper

Add canbus adapters

More expensive

Alphaobd ($50 Google play store or download through alphaobd.com for windows)

Obdlink mx ($60 Amazon)

And change the truck's programming

What programming . LED’s in front were their already. Fog lights have some sort of box with them. Can’t see if headlamps do.

When the lights are on, not using the signals, are they white or orange?

Who ever had it put in led lights. White

OK. They used switchbacks. They didn't install a canbus adapter or resistors. Do you only get a error for parking lights or do you get one for turns also

[Frank spinster]

Yes parking only. And at night only . I can use headlamps during day and no problem. If I cover dash sensor it thinks it might and warning comes on

 

[1500ram12]

OK. So you'll either have to add a resistor like this into the parking light feed

To wire a resistor all you do is attach one end to the ground feed, and the other to the parking light feed
