DRL/ signal LED flashing problems,

[marc]

ok so i thought i had fixed the problem i had but i seem to come back every now and then and now it does it all the time.

when i signal left the right LED flash slightly and left ones flash like normally

when i signal right the left LED's flash slightly and the right ones flash normally

here is a video of how i wired the DRL's and showing what is happening with the lights.

do i need resistors somewhere ?

please help

So, you don't have resistors anywhere in there?

I'd bet that's your issue.

Do you have the flasher mod done or a new flasher for leds?

 

[Ginger]

do you have normal or LED bulbs in the tail lights. i found even with resistors and the flasher mod, if i have LED tail light bulbs, and my switchbacks, it does this, and when i hit the brake pedal, the blinkers in the mirrors would slightly light up.


i put standard bulbs in the taillights and it was good again.

Same. I ended up with halogen tails and turns again too.

Bryan, did you have resistors out back too? or just up front like me? I don't remember

 

[Ginger]

currently i have no resistors since i have the flasher mod done.


when i put the led's in the tails i had the issue, so i put resistors on the tails, and the problem still occured.


JE's truck just has resistors up front. and stock tails.

i just have the flasher mod done, no resistors anywhere.

i just dont understand that the opposite lights are getting power.

the good thing is it doesn't happen when i have my drl's in the on position since the one just stay's lit and the other one flashes.

 

[Ginger]

can i get that in english and not french conadian?

and can you answer my questions.

do you have LED tailight bulbs? or just DRL/blinker? DRL shouldnt effect anything unless you got rid of the DRL and turned it into another parking/blinker.

Those connections look really secure.

:cheeky:

Just a thought guys, why not put a diode in to keep it from back feeding?

if you look at the wiring i got rid of the DRL and made both the bumper light do the same thing. like signal and then drl's.

and yeah i do have LED brake and signal bulbs... maybe ill change those out tonight and see if that fixes it.

 

[BOO5TED]

Dafuq is conadian? :think:

:cheeky:

they were secure with shrink tube and all nicely wired till i got pissed off and cut it apart

 

[BOO5TED]

I figured as much, just giving ya shit bud.

 

[Ginger]

i would put normal tail light bulbs in. should fix the issue.

thanks Bryan that was indeed the problem.

put my halogens in the tails and the problem was all fixed :shake:

 

[Khaos]

Yep, sucks but our trucks are weird that way. My issue went away once I did the same

 

[Ginger]

exactly, even resistors doesnt make a fucking difference, its weird as hell.

I had this problem about a month ago and fixed it with the led flasher on my 04 sierra.
