OK, I tried to install LEDs for my front amber parking/turn signal lights and for my rear parking/brake/turn signal lights. We did the rear brake/turns first and tested them without anything installed in the fronts and everything worked fine. When we installed the resistors and bulbs in the front turns, the rears would only work as parking lights...the brake lights and turn signals wouldn't work. We thought the problem was with the resistors on the front turns, so we disconnected them and put the old bulbs back in for the night, and found that the rears would still only work as parking lights--the brakes and turn signals were not functional still.

What went wrong?

We pulled the rear LED bulbs out and disconnected the resistors, and put the old bulbs back in so I can drive for now, but I'd like to get this all fixed up tomorrow, if we can figure out what's wrong. Any ideas?

 

i had similar problem, the conections have to be REAL good!

 

It's fixed. Wasn't a connection problem. We tried to follow the wiring job from the guy who installed my cap and guessed wrong. He tapped into the parking lights wire for the inside lights on the cap, and used my trailer electric for the brake lights on the cap. We guessed he did the opposite and hooked it up wrong. I was trying to download the Service Manual, but my parent's internet is as slow as anything and it took hours, so we just guessed instead and got it wrong. It's all fixed now.

I put in the taillights and they work great! I am sending the amber turn signals for the front back--not bright enough. I'm ordering new for those, and the backup lights.

Thanks, Coondog & Eric, for the help!

 

thats what were here for, glad you got em going!

 

Here you go. Both taillights, on the parking light setting. They're the same lights as your's, Eric, just in red.
