........I know there is alot said about led issues, and I read a bunch but haven't seen an answer to mine yet. Anyways this is what I got :
Using a 81 Olds complete harness in my truck. It has two round 2 pin flashers ( 1 for signals one for 4ways ). I have the new round 55-59 chev truck style stainless led tail lights. For the front I got chev 47-53 style amber led's .
With stock original flashers , front & rear LED's , it will not signal, only lights up and stays on , and no 4 way either. But if I swap the front to original 1157 bulbs and have the leds in rear, then signals and 4ways work fine with original flashers.
Front and rear LED's , with "led flasher" in 4way socket then it flashes all 4 leds OK . But if put a led flasher in the signal socket then the signal lights stay on and do not flash. If I use the led flasher with 1157 bulbs in front and led's in rear then it still will not flash signal.
I'm stumped why the 4ways will flash all leds but will not flash in the signal socket ? Yet stock bulbs and flashers work fine so I know my wiring is good. Stock flasher with bulbs in front and leds in rear flash fine , but I can't get the led / stock flashers to signal all 4 led's , ??
....maybe it's this china led flasher is crap ? I opened it up, and am thinking maybe a higher value resistor in it might help ? any ideas to guide me here or if someone knows the specs for making one then I can do that too. The chinese never put a number on a transistor in this one so have no idea what it is. Thanks for any help.
