Installed puddle lamp/heated/auto dimming/power folding mirrors, installed the required door modules, used AlfaOBD to add power folding, turn signal repeater and approach/courtesy lamps, but the puddle lamp doesn't come on, either side. Power fold works, sequential turn works, positional motor works. These are brand new after market LED sequential turn puddle lamps, and I verified the pinout using a battery and jumper wires. Center to left is turn, and center to right is puddle. I even tried my old door module, but since it's all controlled by CAN, I can't tell if the command is there or not. What am I doing wrong?

What settings did you change with AlfaOBD? Both of these?

Yes. There was actually at least one more setting that I had to change. It was the old "3rd time is a charm". They are working now. Thanks for your response.
