HELP! HID's causing problems

[mrbrown88]

So I was driving to the dealership today (for a separate issue) and all the sudden my parking assist off comes up on the dash. I get to the dealership and ask them to check it out. They come back and say that it is caused by my HID's, didn't say anymore than that just take them out and see if it fixes the problem.

 

What in the lights could be causing this? And has anyone else ran into the issue with the TRS mopar kit? This is very frustrating cause I love the HID's but not if they are going to cause problems. Thanks guys!!

Maybe the ballasts are located too close to the signal lines from the front sensors and are causing EMI thus tripping the system off?

sounds to me as they are feeding you a line. I really doubt that your hid's are causing the issue. how long have you had the HID's installed, compared to when you started to have this problem. also how do you have your HID's hooked up, i.e. do you have a relay and is your power source coming straight from the batter? Trace you parking sensor wires as far back from the sensor as you can and make sure they are not kinked or shaved anywhere. then take your truck back to the dealer and tell them they need to fix.

I think they are feeding me a line too but thought I would check to see if anyone had the same problem. I've had the HIDs in for about 2 months and they were not even on when the sensors tripped off. It happened about 10 min after I threw a code for service stabilitrak (which ended up being 2 little pieces of metal in the wheel speed sensor).

 

I have the HIDs hooked up with power coming from the battery and grounded out on one of the little rods at the front of the engine bay. They cleared the codes and they work now, but not sure how long. They shouldn't be any kinks or cuts in the wires but I will check tomorrow.
