Muncher Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 Finished putting led lights in all the way around and now I'm having problems. When I finished the rear I realized Two lights up front aren't on and once again my blinkers aren't blinking. But the brake lights work. I did re do the ground in the taillight maybe I just didn't do it good enough?
watchamakalit Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 Are you just dealing with the rear blinkers not functioning or all of them? Did you change out your blinkers in the fuse block? I had trouble when switching to led had to buy an electronic flasher to replace the thermal. Led lights won't draw enough current to heat a thermal blinker. What 2 lights up front are not working?

Also passanger side blinker and drivers marker aren't working
scaleless Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 When you say the blinkers aren't blinking, do they not come on at all or do they come on but not blink? If it's the latter, you need a new flasher module. Change the other lights back to the known working bulbs, that way you can eliminate if it's the new bulbs or if you accidentally messed up the socket or something.

I already did put in a led flasher relay as well.
Muncher Posted June 12, 2021 Author Posted June 12, 2021 Did you put the LEDs in the right way? I think so? How would I tell what the right way is
eaglescout526 Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 With your lights not working lol. They more or less go in one way. Because they aren’t like incandescent bulbs they only have a one way negative and positive connection.

Muncher Posted June 12, 2021 Author Posted June 12, 2021 switch the flasher podsDo you mean the blinker bulb vs the brake bulb
scaleless Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 I don't think they're in backwards, because the indicators and brake lights are 1156 bulbs, right? You can't put those in backwards like a 194 or similar bulb.

Muncher Posted June 13, 2021 Author Posted June 13, 2021 17 hours ago, jdog said: what leds did you buy? Two brake light types put led blinkers in front and back put led reverse lights in and also led markers in the front
Muncher Posted June 13, 2021 Author Posted June 13, 2021 what happens if you install the old bulbs?They worked fine before hand besides the reverse lights. I'm going to try to switch the relays and see if maybe that's the issue.
jdog Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 if not put the old bulbs in and report back, I'm suspecting you got some bad LEDs

Muncher Posted June 14, 2021 Author Posted June 14, 2021 3 hours ago, jdog said: if not put the old bulbs in and report back, I'm suspecting you got some bad LEDs Here's the status update. So the front bulbs one blinkers wasn't in all the way and now It works. I think the marker light socket is just broke. And for the rear if I put leds in the middle socket they work and blink. But if I put them in the top they don't but normal bulbs Do which makes no sense to me. How should this even be solved. Also side note with a upgraded ground and new led reverse lights they still don't work in guessing it's the switch for them?
