I installed the 4104v in this dodge and the issue I have is that when I remote start the vehicle only the rh front park lamp is on. When I lock or unlock the vehicle both lights flash as well as when the park lights are turned on they are both on. I used a dball along with the 4104v. Any ideas wouldbe greatly appreciated.

Did you use the Positive Parking Light wire in the RAM? I would guess you did. Use the Negative Parking light wire(WHITE/ green) at the Switch instead. You'll need an 1.1K ohm resistor to put in-line and use a relay to open up that wire. So you'll need to cut the WHITE/ green. Here is the Relay wiring:
For the relay diagram you'll keep the parking light jumper on the 4104 to Positive.
85 - 4104 white parking light wire
86 - ground
87 - ground through the 1.1K ohm resistor
87A - Switch side of the cut WHITE/ green headlight wire
30 - Car side of the cut WHITE/ green headlight wire
I think there are 2 WHITE/ green wires. I think its the WHITE/ green next to an ORANGE / black wire, so test.
Thats the technical way to wire it. What I like to do on Dodges is not to use a relay, move the Parking light Jumper to Negative, Remote start the car, and take different value resistors and try them till I get one that puts on the Parking lights.
If you want to try that.
1) Move Parking light jumper to Negative
2) Strip back the WHITE/ green Parking light wire in the Ram.(no cutting needed)
3) Remote start the car so the white wire comes active and starts putting out a ground
4) Grab a few values of resistors, (maybe purchase a assorted bag of resistors from RadioShack)
5) Place them inline between the white parking light wire of the 4104 and the WHITE/ green wire of the Ram.
6) Try the different values each time checking to see if the Parking Lights Come on.
7) Once you find the one that puts on the Parking Lights only, make your connections permanent.
The above will not hurt the car. You will see that different values will give you different results. You'll maybe see nothing come on at all, or foglights come on, or just the headlights, or maybe parking lights & headlights, or everything. Obviously you want the one that turns on the parking lights only.
The reason that you see everything flashing with lock/unlock is because the DB-ALL is turning the parking lights on with the lock/unlock signal because it is duplicating the factory keyless entry commands and inputting them into the computer. The car response is to unlock/lock the doors, disarm/arm any factory alarm, and flash the parking lights.

Great thanks for the detailed write up I will be getting the truck back Monday and will try your suggestions. Thank you very much
