    Sorry for not getting a video up. Having issues with my digital camera/camcorder.

    When I start the truck, both the turn signal and side marker lights are lit.

    When I turn the turn signal on with just the DTRL on, both the turn signal and side marker blink at the same time.

    When I have the lights on, the turn signal and side marker alternates flashing.

    Hope that makes sense to everyone...

    So, if you have just the parking lights on and not the headlights, the DTRL/signal lights and corner markers work normally?

    If I was following, it sounds like they do, but just wanted to make sure.

    It has only got up to 29 degrees here, so I went for it. IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) :) :)
    :)Thank-you Sfcadams!:) Trying to get my fingers thawed out. Truck came with factory DTRLs......I Disabled them as some people were having melting problems.When I start truck I have no lights on. Activate either turn signal = the marker light and turn signal blink the same. Turn parking lights or headlights on ....Then activate either turn signal = the marker light and the turn signal Alternate flashing. :)

    Anyone know what would happen if you just put a jumper between the wires, rather then cut them?
