    I have a push button start 2017 off road. I had an aftermarket viper remote start installed a year ago. The parking lights and led drl’s are on when I remote start it and it’s running. Once I open the door it shuts off, and upon restart the drl’s don’t come back on. Headlights and fog lights work when I turn the switch on. Eventually the drl’s come back on. I’ve only noticed this happening the last few months and now the drl’s did not come on when I just went out and started the truck, but did after I drove it down the street.
    Any ideas on what’s happening here before I take it back to the shop that put it in? I do use the parking brake because my driveway is on an incline, but I’m not sure that would do it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Interesting. I had a problem where after my remote start shut off and then the dash lights blinked on and off.

    Sounds like the remote start is affecting the lighting circuit.
