I have installed a Bulldog RS1200EP on my T&C- everything went well until I hooked up the running lights with the dipswitch in the (+) position when I needed it in the (-). Now running lights don't work AND instrument lights seem to be out too. (Radio lights seem to be fine.) already swapped Flasher/Daytime Running Light module, and checked fuses. No help. Sound like a control module? (ECM/BCM?) Any help is appreciated.

did ya check the fuse pannel under the hood for blown fuses? It could be that the headlight switch could be out did ya test the wire that carries the currnet?

I knew I'd leave out important info.. Yes, fuses under the hood OK too. Headlights work, turn signals, brake lights work, but running lamps don't. I have tried this with remote start unit unhooked, and hooked up, no difference. ALSO, when I turn the headlight switch to running lights w/o key in Ignition, the warning chime sounds, (as it does normally) so it knows the switch is in position. Everything worked fine, I tried the remote start, it started the van, but I realized I had left out the parking light circuit, hooked it up, read the warning in the book regarding the switch, got sidetracked, and still boneheaded it.
Thanks for all help.

I meant is the lightgrren/white wire behind the light switch giving you any readings for current?

I don't have an amp reading on the lt grn/white wire. I don't want to cut it, until I get everything working, then I plan to install permanently. So I will bring my clamp on from work. ALSO- Is this diagram you sent an add-on (extra relay?) I had this diagram, but didn't understand it to be an add on.
