I put in resistors on each side and tried leaving 1 stock halogen and putting only 1 led light and it blew, I went through 5 fuses trying everything I could.


DOES THE RESISTOR GO TO THE BLACK WIRE ( GROUND) AND THE WHITE/GREEN WIRE?

OR BLACK AND BROWN?

 

I'm not sure which is hot for the turn signal for the 11th gen, but you could put a DMM on it to see. But I don't think a resistor is going to help.

CK is for the newer Toyotas only

 

I first had it in the black ground wire and the white/green wire and it didnt help so I was wondering maybe I put it in the wrong one then I uncrimped and retried the brown and black but on the passanger side I heard a spark and i checked the instrument cluster and when I turn the lights on it has the right arrow lit up and when I go outside it is not on, So I probably burnt the fuse, but not the normal #6 cause its only affecting the passanger parklamp. But the signal on it works.

I HATE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT!!!!!!!!

 

If you have the LED flasher, you DON'T need the resistor.

Check out the LEDs and the bulb holder very closely. You're overthinking this. You have a short, meaning some power wire is touching ground. All you have to do is find it.

 

As in the prongs of the LED's? What do you mean I need to find the wire that is touching the ground. Its not like I did some kind of supplemental wiring....

 

Anything. A short is where the power is touching ground before it is being used. It doesn't matter if you wired anything. A prong, clip, anything metal is touching something it isnt. Check the bulbs themselves. The solder for the LEDs could be crossing in the paths of the lead.

 

But the halogen bulbs work, wouldnt that rule out the bulb socket? But what are the chances both of these LED's are defective?

 

I tried again today with another 3157 led that I had in my reverse lights that I took out a while ago, still blows the fuse when I try and turn the park lamps on, but blinkers work even with the blown fuse.

I dont understand why regular bulbs work but when I put in any LED its shorting.

Could it have anything to do with that recently I had an auto shop install auxilary reverse lights through the hitch wires that turn on when cars in reverse?

 

Is the reverse lights on the same fuse? Even so, I doubt it. To be honest, I am completely stumped here. You've confirmed that LEDs are the problem and rules out manufacturer error with three different sets. Unless someone else can chime in, I say you cut your losses and go back to incandescents.

 

x2 I have no other ideas either

 

how much you want for the 92 led turn signals. i got a truck that needs some new leds.. lol

 

Nothing, just wondering.

I say yes. depends on how they hooked them up. Did they take any power from something that uses fuse 6? Did they use a relay? Try to see if the parking lights wire was nicked in hitch area and is grounding out. Leds are picky compared to a normal bulb for set up. Another thing to try is use a 5amp fuse instead of a 15 amp. Some say it works with leds because of the small draw they take. Never install a higher amp fuse unless you want to burn up wires and have a $$$ problem. Marker lights are on a different fuse then signals.

 

Its not connected to fuse #6 the guy hooked it up from the hitch nd pput its own fuse underneath the hitch. I can go check the wires out right now and see if any of em are grounding.. And Ill try a 5 amp. I used like over 10+ 15amp fuses this has been so expensive for me, I spent money on the flasher, resistors, fuses, + lights its like over 110$

 

Another way to rule out the hitch plug wiring would be to pull fuse #10, 20 amp = tralier park lights. And try the leds again.

 

i took out #10, put in a 5amp for my #6 and tried, blew it.
