HELP! - Limited DRL LED Accent Light Not Working Only On Drive Side

[2020RamOwner]

The bottom on my driver side has a mind of its own. Some days it comes on some days it doesn't. Some days it comes on after turning a blinker on or locking/unlocking the truck.

It was not that difficult to remove the headlight assy. Maybe one hour to remove it and another to install. Here is a very detailed video on how to do it.

Hello curious as to what you did regarding the headlights with the drl having the issue on driver side and out of warranty not having much luck finding a new headlight that is not damaged any insight would be appreciated thank you

Here's my best attempt at catching the flasher at it's brightest (couldn't see how to attach a video):

How are these lights holding up??

Has anyone found any solution to this if you’re outside of warranty? I am wondering if you could just replace the board. Mine has 85,000 miles and is currently having the issue with the driver side accent light. It turns on for a second and then turns off

I know it's been a few years but I just read your post. Where you able to find a fix for your driver side accent light been out? I'm having the same problem also driver side. Thanks

2020 limited with drivers side accent light out? Any update would be appreciated?!

Morning, where you able to find a solution for your accent light not working?

 

[figster]

I haven't had time to do it. I am hoping to get to it in the next couple of days. I'll keep everyone posted.

Any luck changing the headlight ballast on your 2019 led ram?

I’m pretty sure this is not cause by the ballast. The ballast is solely for the hi/low beam. I have not changed on my ram but changed a ballast on my wife’s Pacifica when her low beam on passenger side died

Has nothing to do with the ballast, that is an LED strip, integrated part of the headlight and not repairable by most of us mortals.
Not my image, found it on the net, credit to who ever took it.

Mine is still broken. Gonna inspect the wiring harness and hope it's in there. One guy said that was his issue.

Mine works some of the time and doesn't the other times. It makes no sense.

I replaced both LED headlights with aftermarket ones that I siliconed around the lens to make sure they don't leak, so far so good. I took apart the old lights and the engineering is appalling, in that the outer LED ballast (for LED strip) the wiring connection block was coming off the circuit board, that's why they quit working. The pins don't go all the way through the circuit board. Mopar knows what the problem is as they want the old headlight back for a core to refurbish at $120 and then sell it back to us at $800. My drivers side upper went out and passengers lower went out originally so even if I replaced the outer ballast (there are total of 2 on the whole headlamp assembly) on both it will only fix the upper as the lower is being driven by something else internally.

Any pics of your findings?

I took apart the old lights

Destructively or did you bake them? not sure if that is even possible.

You can't just bake them anymore, they have to be cut apart. But can be done without destroying the lights.and can put them back together and reseal.
