Hey guys. i just put a set of factory fog lamps on my ram and i called the dealership to see about getting the computer programmed to recognize them. well they said it would take like an hour and be 85 BUCKS!!!! thats just crazy. 85 dollars to push a few buttons on a pad. does anyone know another way around that or cheaper? Thanks alot

 

The computer needed for the fog lights is new to me. I would think you would wire them up with a separate switch inside the cab and be done with it. If you already have it installed, run a power wire to the cab and a switch. Cost you all of $10 for the parts. Turn them on.off as you please.

 

Damg, $85.00 is steep. If you were in Georgia, I would do it for you for free. It only takes a few minutes. I would try to get one of the Techs to do it on the side and slide him $20.00.

 

I feel your pain. I did exactly the same thing. Got OEM lights installed and had to drop $80+ at the dealer for somebody to spend 10 seconds with a starscan (or whatever) to enable the fog lamp switch.

At least the price is consistent...

 

yeah i was thinking about talking to a tech. i wish i knew someone at a dodge dealership. ill talk to the guy i bought my truck from and bribe him

 

It takes like 30 seconds. But those Starscans are steep in price and they have to pay for them somehow.

Call around, maybe you will find a cheaper price.

 

Call around to other dealers, I read a post a while back (can't remember if it was here or another forum) where the dealer who sold the guy the truck wanted to charge him $75 or $80 and he called a dealer in the next town over (who didn't know him from Adam) and they gave him a price of $45...
