Hey guys I'm not much of a wiring guru, but I know my way around somewhat. I put in LED side markers and my indicators on the dash always stay illuminated now, I have LED bulbs for the brake lights/rear signals now too, an LED tailight strip(B,S,R) front LED Signals, and LED headlights. I made sure to put in the proper relays so each relay has its own ground wire. I'm confused though everything functions great except the front turn signals they don't function properly with the parking lights or headlights on. They stay lit like they are supposed to, but they don't blink unless the parking lights/headlights are off. Even the side marker lights still blink same thing for the 4 ways/hazards as well.
Almost makes me wonder if I put the old side marker lights back on then the the front ones will work because that's when it started doing this. Although the old ones were leds as well, but these new ones have a plug off the lamp whereas the old ones had an actual bulb behind the lense
Old style flasher units work off amp draw(filament bulbs), When you take away the amp draw they don't work. You need to replace them both with electronic flashers.

Yea I have electronic flashers in for the hazard and turn signal flasher otherwise all 4 wouldn't do anything. I figured it out I think the front side markers are drawing to much current and not allowing the front signals to function properly because as long as they're off the front turn signals will function properly. Gonna get a couple of resistors in them and see what happens. If that doesn't work then I'm just gonna put the old ones back in so it'll all go back to normal.
