Amazingly detailed work, well done, sir!
This kind of write up is why forums became so popular for vehicle enthusiasts. It’s a shame so many are dead now. Bravo.
I figured it out. I did what I should have done at the start. I pulled the suspect turn signal and ran it raw off the battery, bypassing the harness altogether. It was doing some odd flickering despite reading a steady voltage, so I took off the other side to see if it was repeatable on that...
So I went ahead and bought the $350 LED flasher and have the exact same results. Still no flashing on the front corner when the headlights are on, when the headlights are off, the dead light blinks, but is at a lower brightness than the other point despite being the same light. I have checked...
Put simply, I don’t want to spend the next few months chasing down this gremlin if I can throw a few hundred bucks at it and be done with it. If the $20 24v flasher under the dash of my maverick had a cannon plug and worked with LEDs, I’d be down. If I need to fabricate an interface for it...
I removed and replaced all the lights today, checked grounds, made sure grounds were clean and secured- no change. I've noticed that when the headlights are on now, the turn signal "marker light" feature doesn't work on the right signal, meanwhile the left signal doesn't blink and sometimes...
I did the "Ground Harness Mod" when I got the HMMWV a few years back, but I will go back and check the ground at the signals themselves, good call.
Thank you!
So I've run into a similar situation as Mainsail. LED turn signals at all four points, won't flash with incandescent bulb in turn signal stalk, lights up and blinks fine with non-polarity LED bulb installed - but here's the catch, when the headlights are also on, one of the turn signals will...
Totally agree. I maintain no social media presence, so using my wife's account for stuff like this is a PITA. For the $100 annual cost plus $30 in web design software, it seems like an easy solve.
Looks like an enterprising thief could make out with about $100k in doors in a few minutes with a set of tin snips and some basic hand tools... of course, the two decades in the Federal Pen might stink.
Thank you for the link! I saw a set for $65/ea but they looked questionable, the LED grid looked different than the Trucklite. Might still be worth the risk to see if they function.
