No turn signals

I replaced all of my regular bulbs with LED bulbs and now I have no turn signals. I also replaced the flasher relay too, and still the same thing. My hazards and brake lights work though. I don't get it. I've also tried load resistors wired in line with the bulbs and still nothing. I need some help, i'm out of ideas, so any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks



Josh

Re: No turn signals

you could try switching back to incandescent and double checking to make sure it's the bulbs and not some other problem. or take one out and use a test light or meter to see if you're getting power to the bulb sockets on the turn circuit.

Re: No turn signals

I tried putting the old bulbs back in and they work fine but the LED bulbs don't draw enough current to make the turn signals work. But the hazards flash like they are suppose to. And the brake lights work.

Re: No turn signals

i'm not sure but is it possible that they are somehow plugged in backwards. it would make sense if the didn't work at all, but the fact that your hazards and brake lights work.

Re: No turn signals

Yea I know, I'm going to mess with it Sunday and see what I can figure out. I work all week long so its kinda hard to work on it during the week. I'm checking everything and I have a meter so I can OHM out the wires to make sure i'm not losing connection somewhere.

Re: No turn signals

No, I didn't mess with it sunday because of the rain and i've been getting off work late everyday this week. I might be able to work on it some Saturday and hopefully sunday. I really want my turn signals back. lol I will let you know when I get somewhere on it though.

Re: No turn signals

Try the switch that mounted an your steering wheel. The long one with all those wires pluged in to it.

Re: No turn signals

i wouldn't think it would be the switch if he put the old bulbs back in and they worked. i guess anything is possible though.
