LED indicator problem

Post by tink »

this is confussing me why

fitted front and rear led indicators and also led flasher relay

first problem i had was when i indicated right all four flashed and the same when i indicated left, after removing the bulb on the indicator reminder the problem was solved indicate left and left flash and same with the right.

But then i fitted a led bulb in the reminder light and its back to all four flashing.

Anyone know how to solve it? :smt100

Check all the wires and connectors might just be wires making contact that shouldnt hence all coming on t the same time it could be shorting something out x

How do the LED indys earth ?

Check the connection inside them, try earthing them out yourself with additional wire and see if it cures it then make a permanent solution.

Wrong relays usually have them flashing at the wrong rate.

solved the problem by putting a 50w resistor on each of the rear led indicators.
Now have my light flashing on the indicator panel when they are on and the resistors also solved my 10%-100% flash

I fitted 1 to each rear led indicator and changed the relay to a led one

Yes that what I tryed to do and some reason I seem to have all 4 on at once still it's really confusing me now, but if I put a extra bulb set of indicators on the front it works fine, it's frying my brain at the minute haha
