Blinkers don't blink after LED

[blue302stang]

I am deciding to go with LED signals and brake lights, and after installing the front turn signals the blinkers are no longer working. They light up and thats it. I checked the grounds on everything and it all checks out. With the rear LEDs installed and the stock fronts the blinkers worked fine and with the front LEDs that side wouldn't work. Do these trucks require load resistors when going with LEDs to simulate the load?

I have used that feature several times, it is real handy since I can't ever seem to find the right search term.

Sounds like a load equalizer problem. i am sure there is a simple fix for it on here. Good luck my friend.



Ha Ha ... you just got tippled.

Led lights

The LED do not draw anough for the blinker to work find a blicker that needs a smaller load or increase your load hide a bulb some where.

my 1999 A3 needed a new flasher to work properly :shrug: Been fine ever since.

My m923 flashers did the same thing when I went to LEDs. Stopped flashing. Same thing as in an older Chevy pickup truck. Bulb burns out, not enough load to make the flasher work, stops flashing, just steady light.

Thanks for the tip ^^ on the newer style flasher at Erik's Surplus. I will get one ordered, that's a lot easier than fooling with resistors and hiding bulbs.
