Anybody use this running/DRL light pigtail?

I am assuming you have only tested with the vehicle in park. Do you have a helper and try ringing it out while in drive?

I had fits with a back up camera install on a manual transmission 2018 JK. IF the parking brake was set, the camera would not activate and of course I was doing all of my testing with the brake set.

"ringing out" was testing that the pigtail wires all went to the correct pin location on the plug.

Once I was satisfied that the pigtail wasn't defective I could then confidently use it to test if the DRL pin was hot by simply hooking that wire on the pigtail to my meter. Which was sitting on the LH fender where I could see it as I started the truck and put it in drive with brakes set.

I managed to change mine in JSCAN to be the orange turn signal as my DRL. When I install my headlights, I want to use the orange halo along with the fender turn signal to be my DRL.
Would that help? Can't remember what the setting was, but I could go back in a see.

Owners manual says they should work in any position for automatic and only when moving for a manual.

@Figmo you have a manual transmission?

Have auto. Been testing with engine on, brakes set and in drive. Have DRLs turned on via settings in Sync..

When you say brakes set, do you mean the parking brake? Try it with the parking brake off
