    warning lights coming on when nothing wrong

    Ever since I installed a daytime running light module the check light for license plate lights has been coming on, why does this happen?

          Your DRM powers the parking lights but not the license plate light. Use a diode to power the plate light circuit.

              Sorry...Daylight Running Module.

              Oddly enough, this is exactly the same issue I had on some remote start installs.
