I’ve searched and I don’t see exactly what I’m looking for. I swapped my halogen taillights for leds with blind spot. I removed the wire in pin 8 on the drivers side. I can’t get the stop light to drop out with the turn signals . I tried the setting in Alfa and it shows it took but it’s not working right. Do I need to enable led stop, turn, reverse, and tail in order for this to work?

So I tried Alfa again. Set tails turns, brakes, and reverse to led. Set combined rear lights to on and off and still cannot get it to drop the brake light when the turn signal is on. I also installed the wiring for blind spot and programmed it on. It shows up on the radio screen, but when the turn signals are on I don’t get any alerts. Can anyone offer any advice?

CBC Config I/O Usage: Separated Lighting Brake Lamp Dropout should be set to “YES”
 
Thank you! That’s exactly what it was. I did the combined rear lighting instead of separated. Also found blind spot now working once I turned off blind spot mirrors present. Got ahead of myself and turned it on before actually putting the mirrors in.
 
So I programmed the mirrors present off and blind spot worked once on the left and once on the right and then gave a “ blind spot alert temporarily unavailable “ message and stopped working. Now every time I start the truck I get that message and it won’t work. Any ideas?
 
I got up and started the truck this morning and the warning wasn’t there and blind spot works again. Several times today started and drove and it’s worked every time. Racking my brain trying to figure out what changed, but I guess as the saying goes can’t fix it if it isn’t broke.
