so im dealing with this now. I have 4 ,19 rams for my bussiness and just bought one for personal use and the tailgate ajar light does not work. works on all the other trucks. so i take it in and the dealer says if it was built between april 15 19 and nov 22 19 then my truck doesnt have it. but its on the build list and has the option code. so from what ive figured out is something has happened at the factory and those trucks have had that option disabled at the factory.
what id like to know is an explanation as to why. and ram isnt giving it to me or the techs. i got a bs answer from the service manager to basically tell me to go pound salt. says it cant be fixed.
i say because ram doesnt want to replace faulty bcms to fix it, or what ever they need to replace.
if you are having this issue you shouldnt put up with it. its a standard option on all models except tradesman. its in the owners manual and the brochure.
im going to keep digging on this cause the service manager really pissed me off.
I went through the same thing. It lists the feature on the build sheet and yet the truck doesn't have it, dealer gives you a BS story bla bla bla. I enabled it with AlfaOBD. My dealer also changed my tow mirrors to sport mirrors and couldn't get the power fold function to work, then they told me it was impossible if the truck never came with it. Again AlfaOBD to the rescue. I emailed the service manager a video of my mirrors power folding and my tail gate warning on the dash. I never got a response to the email!Mine was built August 2020 and I don't have it.
I think I read somewhere it just needs to be activated through the BCM using Alpha OBD or something similar. If it can be done with an Alpha OBD, then the dealer sure as hell should be able to do it!
They ended up buying it back under the lemon law!FCA don’t care, dealers don’t know / don’t care. Just want us to spend our $60,000+ I had a vibration issue with my 19 ram and I had the run around for a year. They did not take me serious with my ongoing issue until I told them they would be hearing from my lawyer, then they were all ears!
Honestly dude, AlfaOBD is super easy to use. There's plenty of YouTube videos out there that can guide you if needed but I hardly think it's needed. The hardest part of the process is disconnecting the 2 SGW cables which, I admit, was a little scary at first but quickly becomes second nature. I used to lean right on my side looking up at them with a flashlight. Now I just reach in and unplug them both with ease. Being able to change DRL location was worth the money alone (for me) but it turns out I got much more out of it than I expected. Basically any factory options can be enabled with AlfaOBD as long as you have the corresponding hardware.Anyone on this form close to Peterborough Ontario I'd be interested in meeting up with someone to show me how this works
Mine also.My Rebel has it
It’ll work once you enable it in alfaobd, they won’t know what to say next time you take it in and “accidentally” leave the tailgate open.I’m ready to get alpha odd software , the obd2 Bluetooth adaptor and the bypass module.
I have one concern. The dealer told me that because my truck was built between April 15 19 and nov 22 19. It wouldn’t work. Who on here has enabled their tailgate ajar light with alpha odb, with a build date between those dates. Also tell me what odb2 adaptor you purchased and what bypass module you got.
Thank
If you press ok on the steering wheel. The picture of the truck in the center display goes away but the icon stays lit. I know this cause 4 of my 5 rams do this just not my personal oneFor those who have the warning light, does it go off after awhile if the tailgate is left open? I don't want an annoying warning if I have my ATV in the back for a long trip
That is really weird , mine come on as soon as I open my tailgate .Another thing I found odd under stock programming is that the bed lights will turn on when you open a cab door, but not the tailgate. Excellent programming FCA.
