ok,i have a 2004 screw..installed 3rd brake light led..no problems..installed front blinker leds and got faster blinker{which i could live with} today i installed rear brakes,blinker and reverse leds... blinker made loud noise and just stays on so i got some load resisters from autozone to put on rear lights and it is still doing it....and i noticed my third brake light is half on all the time now{ when key is turned } i know there was a thread about a blinker box or something that went under steering colum but i cant find thread.. can someone please help me sorry so long..thanx

 

i would return the load resistor and put an LED flasher in place of your oem flasher. you wont get the hyperflash anymore. the flasher is a PITA to get to, so turn your signal on when ur in the truck so you can hear for it and see it.

 

where and what is than name of the led flasher? is there a certain one for our truck? our autozone guy had no clue.

 

It's called an electronic flasher, if he has no idea what that is then he's an idiot. Get the electronic flasher EP27, cost me about 15 bucks from auto zone. That will solve the fast blinker issues but not the third brake light staying on. I've heard of guys solving that problem by using a load resistor in the third brake light. Not sure of any other fixes tho.

 

ok ,thanx lone ranger...the 3rd brake light just started when i installed led brake lights ..will go today and get a flasher

 

got a new flasher and that fixed the blinker problem but my 3rd brake light is still staying half way lit all the time... when u hit brakes it lights up fine ..4 out of the 8 leds stay lit up when ignition is on... what can i do? there is no room to put a resister on 3rd light.. can i change fuse?

 

got it fixed.. i am a idiot... i wasnt crimping the wires hard enough on the resistor...had to just put on one resistor on driver side tailight...

 

Nope, not an idiot at all. Just finding out why some of us would rather use soldered connections. A crimped connection is actually ok though. SSCULLY posted a picture of the kind of crimper you need to use. It has to really push the wires together, hard enough to create a "cold weld".

did u have any problems finding the flasher in the truck? mine was such a PITA to pull out. i had no leverage!

 

just listened for it when blinker on and wasnt hard to find but was a **** to get out...only took about 15 mins though... mine was a little blue box under steering colum..

 

Pics........?

 

yea there a pain to remove. pics would be cool /\/\

 

oopps, sorry little blue box is gone to landfill... it is not hard to find at all...its a very easy mod.

 

No i meant pics of the lights up and working.....

 

ohh , ok ..im at work, i work weekends 7a-7p.. will take some pics tonite ..
