I had a set of ZKW with DDE enhanced that Im swapping out for ZKW with DDE Chromiums. Anyway, the passenger side DDE's light up when I turn the lights on and when I arm/disarm my alarm they flash. The driver side DDE's only work when I arm/disarm the alarm, not when I turn the headlights on. What the hell? If theyre getting the signal from the blinkers to flash when the alarm is turned on/off, why wouldnt they work when the headlights are turned on?

From what I recall (when connecting up my city lights [daytime running lights]) that there are two positive wires going to the corner lights. And, I do think that one of the feeds controls the "blinking" aspect and the other is for standard "on" mode. (I could be way off on this). Anyway, maybe you either have a short in your corner turn signal bulb, or maybe you have tapped into both hot feeds somehow? Just guessing.Originally Posted by mbanks21

Im guessing the wiring that keeps the DDE/blinker in the "on" position shorted out. The "blinking" wire still works. Either way, I just ran a wire over to the other side and it works fine

Are you sure you tapped the constant on in the corners, not the blinker?
