I have a 2005 dakota that did not come with fog lights but does have the harnesses hanging down from the headlights. I bought some OEM fog lights for it and ordered the new headlight interior switch with the foglight option. These still dont turn on so what do i do now?

 

fuse missing maybe?

 

need to bring it to the dealership for a ECU flash.

 

The wiring may be there but it may not have the relay for it, maybe check the Dakota service manual (listed in this 3rd gen section) and trace it to see if you have it

I also agree about the fuse, the spot will be there but might need a fuse added.

If thats not it, I agree with Paul

if it has the wire hanging down check to see and make sure a fuse is there...shouldn't need a flash i wouldn't think just make sure its all hooked up right and grounded and fused adn should be a GO.

 

If i'm not mistaken it needs to be flashed by the dealer .

 

Paul has the right info, you need the option turned on by the dealer

 

And I will agree with everyone, the dealer can turn them on. Shouldnt cost you more than 40-60 bucks to get them to flash it for you.

 

why can't someone learn how to duplicate the factory PCM flashes or upgrades...if someone can figure out how to jailbrake an iphone, why can't they figure out how to update or flash PCM's so we can do this cr@p ourselves???? Flippin dealers get enough of my money as it is.....

 

because more nerds have iphones than dakotas?

<3, a nerd.
