- 5.7L Hemi
Good morning.
I just purchased a 2016 Ram Bighorn Quad Cab with 5.7L Hemi about a month ago. It has power adjustable tow mirrors with the built in Turn signals. Turn signals do not come on when the blinker is turned on and I noticed the Puddle lights are very dim but do come on. I think they are just disabled and was trying to use AlfaOBD to turn them on or at least see if they are already active and there is another issue. I bought replacement lights just in case but they have a large connector inside the mirror and the truck has the smaller connector (bought off Amazon and they didn't specify what size the connector was. Anyway the issue I'm having is when I hook out the blue adapter into the port AlfaOBD connects to it and I can select the truck in the first box and Body Computer on the second box and when I select the option MY2016 powernet and tell it to connect it tries 4 attempts and says it failed. Any body got an idea why? Is it the Generic Elm327 connector could it be that I'm not choosing the correct Body Module Powernet? I see there there are several options that the 2016 could be used in. Thoughts? Yes i have tried to unhook and re-power several times and it keeps saying to try again and make sure the key is in MAR. In upstate NY close to Cooperstown if someone with knowledge on this stuff is willing to walk me thru it.
