Electrical Question ???
Could any of you electrical gurus explain to me or perhaps steer me to a remedy as to why I'm getting "feedback" through my newly installed rear LED turn indicators ONLY when the left (rear) indicator is functioning BUT getting a slight feedback causing the right rear lamp to slightly blink ?????? Not doing it the other way. I have resistors inline so the "blink" is just fine !

Re: Electrical Question ???
All I know is that leds are very sensitive to interference. Could be wired completely properly, but an outside source is causing the “misfire”. I’m sure a more systematic approach is prudent, but maybe a diode on both taillights so the signal only goes one way? Just spit ballin’.

Re: Electrical Question ???
Sounds like it could be a ground issue.

Re: Electrical Question ???
First thing I did this a.m. was run a ground from the new light to the frame - same "bleed" issue - turn right indicator on and left doesn't do it ?

Re: Electrical Question ???
Turn signal switch may have a pinched wire inside. The many wires are packed pretty tight.

The wires are tight in there. Those units are usually full of a grease and I've had to clean most of it out to stop 'bleed thru'. Kinda forgot about that. The unit has to be grounded itself also. |

Re: Electrical Question ???
Thanks for the suggestions, fellas ! I did have to remove the Signal Stat 900 to grind the thick paint off the column to get a good ground - I'll look after the "grease" issue.
