Parking Lights on all the time

[FFtopper116]

2015 Ram 1500 Sport. Got it a few months ago and the parking lights stay on all the time when the truck is on. I have tried the setting on the touch screen, no luck. help.

front and rear parking lights, or just the front?

 

[FFtopper116]

just front

they have been set as the daytime running lights, strange you cant turn off the DRL in the settings on the radio, might check with dealer or check out the AlphaOBD thread to see if you can get that setting on the touchscreen.

IF he has the factory projector headlights and not the quad headlights, this would be the correct assumption. If the DRLs were enabled by the dealer via sales code, then there will be no option in the radio to turn them off. If he has quad headlights, then there is something else going on.

Don’t the drl’s only come on when the car is in drive.... if so then they should be off when the truck is in park.

OP are they on when the truck is running and in park???

they come on when the truck turns on.

That sounds like something else then. The DRLs only come on when the truck is in a gear other than Park. (i.e. D, N or R).

If you bought it used, someone might have custom wired this

Very well could be. My '16 was a Canadian fleet truck (Enterprise) and the DRLs are on anytime the engine is running.

It might be I don't know. I know the previous owner was in Ohio.
