first time posting here, so hope this is in the right place. 2013 ram 1500 slt. about 6 weeks ago i tried putting an led bulb in my third brake light, got a bulb out message so i took it out and put a regular bulb back in, and ever since i have a "park light out" message on my dash that comes on every time i start the truck, or when the auto lights come on. the park light out message also appears at night when the auto light feature has kicked on and i shift from drive to reverse, reverse to drive, in order to park somewhere. every time i shift, it dings at me and tells me park light out. i have led's for headlights, and have capacitors inline with them, and never had a problem with them. also, the park light out message is intermittent, but almost without fail, every time i start up. the other oddity is that when the message comes on after startup, usually if i kick the park lights on, out of auto mode, the park light out message goes out.
so, i replaced all the bulbs, and sockets all the way around the truck(except the third brake light assembly) and after exhausting all my ideas, i took it to a shop. they diag the truck extensively and check the pin connectors to the lights and tighten them. the diag says rear right park light out when the message comes on, however there is no issue with the light being on. they have tested the wires and connections and they all seem sound. next step after no success, they reflashed the bcm today, still no success. same issue exists. my question is, has anyone experienced this issue? what was the fix? thanks in advance for any help here.
