Trouble with Fog light dropout in Alfaobd

[tmansrew]

I have Alfaobd on a windows laptop and I have spent over an hour searching for the Fog Light Dropout with Highbeams Disable option in the Body Control Module menu and I cannot find that option in the list. Can someone PLEASE tell me what I am doing wrong. It is a 2019 RAM 2500 and I am selecting RAM 2500 (DJ/DR) - Body Computer - My 2019 PowerNet. When I go to Active Diagnostic and click on the drop down menu, I see Fog Light Left and Fog Light Right but nothing about Fog Light Dropout. I am connected to my MX and using a bypass cable. Thanks.

You’re looking for “Front Fog Lamp Dropout Enabled” under “CBC Features”.

Thanks for the reply, Jeremy, but I don't see "CBC Features" anywhere. I have "Body Computer" selected in the Function box, then I click on and open the Active Diagnostic button (car with hood open) and it gives me a box with a drop down menu, but I don't see "Front Fog lamp dropout" anywhere in the list of options??

From that menu select car configuration change, and then you should see CBC Features.

Like AH64ID said.
Here is the process, just use your 2500 settings instead of my 3500 settings

Fog Lights On With High Beams:
Car Model> Ram 3500> Function> Body Computer> Control Unit> My2020+ Powernet>
Connect> Select Hood Open icon> Select Procedure to Start>
Car Configuration Change> Select option>
CBC Features: Front Fog Lamp Dropout Enabled> Front Fog Lamp Dropout Enabled> "No"

That was it, guys. I selected Car Config Change and it brought up the menu I needed to find the Fog light dropout option. Thanks for the help! Now to try to get my tire size changed to match my tires.

Here to say thanks, again, to everyone for the help you gave me in this thread! Got everything done I had on the short list. I am going to go back in and tweak the tire size as my speedo is reading 2-3 miles more than the gps. Also got the Jscan app on my iphone and programmed a key fob I had bought a while back. Worked like a charm! This place is great! Thanks, again for your time!

Do I need the bypass cable ? Ive tried to do the foglight dropout and it just keeps saying default is set to yes.

I am almost 100% certain that you have to use the bypass cable.

I did when I enabled fogs with high beams.

OK, Thank you. I just got the programmer and learning as I go.... through frustration.. LOL

Bypass is 100% required for any changes.
