Re: Another L.E.D Turn Signal Problem

I had the issue and i could get the flasher to work with a load resistor but not with out it. Swapped the terminals on the flasher plug to the correct way and boom it worked. Also if you are running an aftermarket switchback style front turn it will also caus your issue because the current will bleed through the switch back circuit and not pull enough load for a blink unless they are well made switch back offerings. Usually you see this with the cheap china stuff.

Please correct me if im wrong -

instead of moving the pins i made 2 wire leads (and plugged the flasher in)
(X to L not X to X) is that the same effect as what you explained?

Actually i have a reversed polarity led electronic flasher but it doesnt have the the ground lead. i baught (from super bright leds) but it didnt make them blink either

The leds are one color Amber not switch back.
