recently I put some LED lights in my front turning signals and have had them in for about 3 days or so and yesterday my blinker just started bling fast as hell...faster than normal. I dont think its the LEDs, how do I get it to go back to normal?

 

It is the LEDs. The LEDs have alot less resistance than regular bulbs, so the circuit thinks the bulb is out. They have it blink fast to let you know you need to check the lights. I think there is some kind of thing out that tricks it to thinking its a regular bulb but im not sure.

 

you need to put a resistor load on the circuit. Check out superbrightleds.com, they have what you need.

 

or add led's to all the other turn signal bulbs, i had the same problem and had to get the 813-or 814 small bulbs for the front turn signals corners. google for jamstrait leds, he makes them. once all turn signal bulbs draw the same resistance the relay will go back to flaching like normal. then when a led light bulb goes out your iradic flashing will return.

 

I wouldnt think that would be true. Wouldnt the sensing equipment (resistor be in the wiring harness? It would still be looking for that lower power coming out of the leds, thus still having the same issue. I might be wrong, but just thought I would chime in and say what I thought is logical. Someone set me straight.

or dont use led's use aftermarket bulbs instead? or change out the turn signal flasher unit?

 

sorry to bring such a old thread back to life but. so if ya put leds on all the turns and etc...the fast flash will go away????

 

Not from my experience

 

all you have to do get an aftermarket blinking relay not a/c delco but from auto zone, that took care of it in my caddillac

 

interesting
