I mistakenly purchased a 5 pin flasher relay instead of the 5 pin Bosch for some LED pod lights for my quad distance to the parts store and general laziness have me wondering if I can run them with the wires reversed so as to prevent the pulse for the flash or will this LED flash relay overheat?
@@chukkpurdy5151Are you referring to this video? The LED bulbs were on the left side and the incandescent bulbs were on the right side of the screen throughout the entire video, so I don't understand your question. The reason why the LED bulbs don't blink when connected to the old style flasher is because the old style flasher needs more current than the LEDs can draw, to heat the bi-metallic strip inside of the old flasher. The heating and cooling of the bi-metallic strip is what causes the contacts inside the old flasher to open and close. The opening and closing of the contacts is what makes the lights blink.
This is the best video on How and Why LED lights need updated/upgraded Flashers. Unfortunately I spent several days wondering why, troubleshooting and doing a good deal of head scratching. Great Video, thanks!
I'm so glad I found this video! I'm converting a school bus to an RV and had planned on replacing my tail lights, brake lights and turn signals and knew I'd need to rewire them. This video and the one before it, I feel, has shown me all I needed to know to make it all work correctly from the get-go!
Just replaced flasher bulbs on my dirt bike this afternoon & found the same problem that they did not flash. Found your channel and problem solved (once I get a new flasher can LED type). Many thanks, you are a legend 😊
I really like your channel...I’m currently wiring my 1955 Chevy and your channel is really helpful. Your videos are simple, well done, and content is explained perfectly. And the pegboard circuits are a great visual...thanks buddy, much appreciated!
That’s extremely kind! Thank you, I truly appreciate you taking the time to watch the videos that I make. If you have any requests, post them in the comments and I’ll add them to the list!
Hey your videos are so clear. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us. Secondly thank you for not making a lame ass intro like every other channel. You get right to the video. Thank you again.
Thank you for pointing out the polarity issue with flasher relay!! I put my new relay in my 89 Ram and by all accounts, it looked like it fit perfect into the socket, but polarity had to be reversed to get it to work on both the turns and flashers.
@@WiringRescue I have the $8 part on order from Amazon. Just installed LED turn signals on my 66 Dodge Polara and they weren't flashing. A quick search came back with your easy to understand video.
Installed my flasher today. Glad I watched your vid. My connector is the kind that has the two plugs on one L-shaped piece. Plugged it in and it didn't work. But based on your vid I figured the leads were backward from what I needed. Was able to saw the single connector to make two separate ones like you have in the vid. Reversed them and it worked!
Bimetallic switch. I literally just posted a schematic of that part on another video. Far as the led pulse goes it just a bistable 555 timer ic. Square wave generator. Reversing those wires could destroy cheap led flashing circuits that do not have reverse voltage protection. To be honest they should include a full bridge rectifier circuit with that flasher so as to allow it to work correctly even if you reverse the wire connections.
My problem is that everything works great until I turn my headlights on, the the signals won’t flash. Taillights are all in one and not just bulb replacement. Any idea what’s going on?
Straight and to the point. That said, I have an issue where the signals flash until I turn the headlights, parking lights, fog lights or any combination there of. I installed the LED flasher. I suspect other problems are at play.
Great video. I have also change for led indicator which is only one and only one side works. If a remove led bulb and turn it 180 it works for other side. I wonder why.
Wow, I hate driving around with witchcraft in my vehicle but I guess it’s good to let others know when I’m turning. No reality I didn’t know about the reverse polarity. Thanks for that tip ! Good job
Does it have to use two power switch relays? No way of doing it with one, that allows switching between left side / right side indicators? Might be a stupid question but not wired some before. It's for a motorbike.
@@WiringRescue no such luck I tried putting the new led kind in but still no blinks, nothing it works fine for incandescent lights just not the led ones, enen tried changing both the flasher and the hazard flasher with the new led able ones nothing had to put the incandescent lights back in, any ideas?
Thank you so much, excellent explanation, I having a motorcycle I attached with a teardrop trailer with LED turn signal, unfortunately the LED very weak. How can I solve this issue?
Check all your wires to make sure they are all good connections. Or get brighter lights. You need to determine where the problem actually is - the wiring - or the bulbs?
What is I add an in line resistor as a load to draw and dissipate the necessary heat to consume the current? :) I heard the Canbus type already have the resistor
Absolutely love your content and has given me the inspiration to build my own loom from Scratch for my landrover. I’m just wondering my led flasher unit that came with the lights has three pins + L and -. I assume it wires in the same way I just need to earth the flasher unit
Hi, thanks for the video. So the new relay style is polarity sensitive and blinks when connected correctly, but doesn't blink if wires are reversed. What about the old style relay? The one with the bi-metallic strips. Is it polarity sensitive too or does it blink regardless of how it's connected?
In my experience, the old style flasher does not care if the wires are reversed. It’s very basic, and is quite happy with any electricity flowing through it. Good luck with your project!
Great Video !!! its so simple when its in this form. . Question, what about hanging dashboard bulbs to LED, what happens to the dim feature. any options to make it work ?
My question .. I have a1982 Honda sabre 750 .. I have a led conversion on it ... the flashers blink ,turn on, turn off as far as I'm concern work .. but my warning light for the tail light keeps detecting a tail light malfunction .. could the conversion be affecting my warning sensor .. I never had incadessant on it to see if that still triggers .. I'm afraid they won't pass safety .
What happens if you upgrade your motorcycle turn signals front and rear (different led signal products front vs rear) and swap the relay for an LED one, but the rear signals work properly and the front ones stay solid and don't blink?
what about the HAZARD flasher , does that need replaced also ? i am attempting to convert my turn signals and markers to LED . i replaced both flashers to electronic , turn signals work great until i turn the headlights on then they no longer bling just solid on . also the HAZARD do not work at all . thank you .
I just upgraded to Led turn signals and mine flash "but" mine flash at twice the normal bulb speed. Question ⁉️ Do you think this might cause early burn out of the control system?
My problem is the led turn signals won't flash if I turn on the parking/running lights or the headlights. They flash alone but not with the headlights on. I have a 1992 ford f150. Do you have a video that covers that because I'm stumped.
Why would my led bulbs not blink. I have led blinkers with led flasher with ground. Everything else works fine. They work fine when I switch back to regular bulbs. So my problem is not the flasher. What can it be? Thank you!
I have a question for a car mod I want my headlights to stay on but when I put my signal I want them to blink with the signal how do I make that happen?
Great video!! I have a 71 VW and I’m doing exactly what your explaining and have installed an electronic flasher and get flashing lights at all 4 corners (very bright) BUT when I select a turn signal I get a bright front turn signal (no flash) and a weak flash outback?? Thanks!
Awesome video ! My problem is my LED turn signals work , but when I turn on my running lights or Headlights which are also LED They wont blink anymore but with Running lights and headlights off they do.
@@MattS-w1b yes after much hardship I found I still had regular bulbs in my front fender turn signal indicators and was causing interruption so if you have regular bulbs in line with LEDs even with led turn signal and hazard flasher
Can you swap out the Flasher Relay to LED version and expect it to work with newer vehicles that measure resistance on lights through a connected network and that trigger a warning light when the resistance is not found?
I have a question I installed LEDs and headlights and turn signals. I did have hyper flash. I fix that with a relay. When I try to install LEDs in the rear turn signals my front turn signals will not light up. They will work when the headlights are off when I turn the headlights on, the turn signals on my console stay on when I turn the left or right turn signal on it only flashes in the back any suggestions
I just put red LEDs on my rear turn signals and one of them doesnt turn on.. regular amber bulb works fine i know here is current.. i tried the the LED bulbs on the working side and the bulb is working too.. any idea what Might be going on?
I’m slowly but surely getting there. I have brake lights, headlights, turn signals all in separate videos. I do intend to do 1 video that covers all the circuits, but it could be a little while because I have a few others to do first. Horns are coming up next.
Okay that was an awesome video. So please tell me this. I have some cheap OEM blinkers I'm trying to put in the front of my 71 K5. When I have the parking lights on it will flash and everything works properly. When I have the parking lights off, only the back incandescent ones will flash. This seems completely opposite of what you're saying. Any help would greatly be appreciated. I'm so frustrated at this point it's not even funny. Do you think a no load LED flasher with the ground would work? I'm at my Wit's end here. An awesome video. Even a dummy dummy like me was able to understand most of it, lol
Very good info you are putting out. I put led's in a '95 Ford Ranger and now when I use the turn signal lever they all come on and hyper flash. it has a turn signal flasher relay and that's it. I'm kind of stumped.
@@WiringRescue It is now. I changed it to an EP27 and hyper flash is gone. I still have a back feed issue to the turn/stop light. I will try some diodes to fix it.
What if you have LED's that the running light is ON all the time, and Flash as a turn signal. I have a set that the running light will work but won't flash. If I disconnect the "third" wire for the running light I can get the turn signal to work flawlessly. Yes, I have and LED turn signal relay installed.
I'd like to add 1 thing.. for motorcycles that are still having issues after swapping in an LED flasher, check if you have an incandescent indicator bulb on the gauge. This will most likely solve the issue. Either just remove the bulb or replace it with an LED.
Any of the gauge lights ? I’ve got a led strip and led flasher relay on a CT1 175 6V and the lights work correctly but won’t flash. I only 4 bulbs total in the gauges (tac and Speedo) must I replace all of them with LED?
Issues I'm having with my LEDs turn signals is the fronts work now with an LED flasher but as soon as I install the rear turn signal led lights the turn signals no longer work but S soon as a plug in the original lights the turn signals work again. So front LED lights work great and rears I can't get to work.
Very very interesting and informative. My problem is on a Harley Road King . Switched the OEM front Amber Signal / running Lights for a LED Arlen Ness light bar . The Tech. said that they were suppose to be Dim when Blinking . They are maybe 20 % brighter when they Signal , maybe less. No Hyper Flash , just weak weak signaling . Do you think a Flasher would fix that ? I;ve been thinking I needed an Equalizer or Resistor and have to splice into the wires.
Hey, any update on this? I’m having the same problem the led lights dim instead of actually flashing which I feel is less useful than the oem halogen bulbs because they also stay on constantly just dim when using them
Hello! I have a 1992 Ford Ranger Custom Super Cab with the 2.3 in it. I have put several different types of LED bulbs in my truck and they won't blink at all. I saw this video and thought that this was my problem. Nope. I cannot find a flash relay that will fit in my truck. My truck flash relay is round and the LED electronic ones are square or rectangle. You can't fit a square or rectangle in a round hole. I have bought and tried several round flasher relays that state they are for LED's but they do not fix the problem. What do I need to do to get my blinkers and my 4-way flashers to work.
I’m not familiar with those trucks, but you could definitely just make a jumper wire from one flasher to another with 4 spade connectors and some wire.
Just installed led taillights on my 1968 c10 .didn’t order the led flasher at the same time so when the flasher showed up I installed all three.turned on and tried everything no turn signal .after checking all components for something wrong I found nothing.ended up trying my original heavy duty flasher and bam .all good .my question is WTH ?????????? Baffled once again. 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
Was the LED flasher wired backwards? A lot of them only work one way, which is a bit odd. Flip the wires going to it and see what happens. Or ignore it because it works great now! :) either way - thanks for watching my video! C10’s rule!
You can only plug in the flasher one way .I’m sure if I switched the wires it would work .it’s not fun under that dash at 64 years old so if it works don’t fix it .on to other issues .thanks anyways.I’ll keep an eye on you’re videos and learn more .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ugh, no help. I already replaced the Relay Flasher, when I converted all my light bulbs to LED (2005 Silverado), took care of the "Hyper Flashing". Rear Side markers have a white LED (the housing is Red), everything works great. I want to switch to a Red LED (gives it a deep Red), but switched to 2 different LED's (both have a Red hue) and the Marker stays on, activated, won't Flash (Turn Signal). This also causes the Front Side markers to stay off. Hazards won't flash. My dash, the turn signal indicators don't flash either AND they are bleeding color (lightly illuminated even when not activated). Tried looking/researching for other relays that can help, but none are given except for "Diode Dynamics LED Flasher compatible with Chevrolet Silverado 2003-2006, LM487", which I already have installed, that took away the Hyper flashing. I am stumped. Not a big deal, I guess, just that the white bulb makes it look "lite", kinda pinkish, while the Brake/turn signal light has a deep/rich red color and its making my ADHD/OCD crazy!
I want to try your system I think this is the solution to my problem, When I momentarity use blinker they but does not when I engage the lever fully, I have these digi-tails set up. Im having a hard time following your video, please send me a diagram of your wiring set up. Solutions from digi-tail did not work, Pleas Help!
My turn signals and flashers used to work and now they quit soni bought a led flasher since it has leds and now the turn signals light up solid but the 4 ways flash its on a 94 volvo l46 semi dunptruck any idea why any tips would be greatly appreciated
I bought some aftermarket smoked headlight assemblies that have the halogen bulbs in them for the headlight but the bottom ones is just a LED bar that turns yellow when you cut on your turn signal and then when it goes back off and turn back white for the driving lights had resistors in there from the factory but still hyperflash so I bought a lm487 LED flasher for a 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 that is supposed to be for LEDs but it still don't flash right and then it makes my trailer brake lights when I've got it hooked up to a trailer not work I could take the original GMC one it's stick in there and the trailer brake lights will work any clues of what I can do
Unfortunately I’m not super familiar with the workings of those style lights, so I don’t think I can be of much help. Have you tried contacting the seller of them? Maybe they can provide a wiring diagram /schematic?
Thank You for watching the LED Flasher video!

What is it when the right side works with the led but the left side won't flash

If I disconnect the "third" wire for the running light I can get the turn signal to work flawlessly. Yes, I have and LED turn signal relay installed.
I'd like to add 1 thing.. for motorcycles that are still having issues after swapping in an LED flasher, check if you have an incandescent indicator bulb on the gauge. This will most likely solve the issue. Either just remove the bulb or replace it with an LED.
Great info! Thanks for sharing it and watching the video!
Any of the gauge lights ? I’ve got a led strip and led flasher relay on a CT1 175 6V and the lights work correctly but won’t flash. I only 4 bulbs total in the gauges (tac and Speedo) must I replace all of them with LED?
My flasher work fine after changing out the relay until I turn on my parking lights or head lights then they hardly flash at all.
Gracias x el tipi
Issues I'm having with my LEDs turn signals is the fronts work now with an LED flasher but as soon as I install the rear turn signal led lights the turn signals no longer work but S soon as a plug in the original lights the turn signals work again. So front LED lights work great and rears I can't get to work.
😘😘😘😘Hi dear how are you dear? Can you explain to me how it works?
Very very interesting and informative. My problem is on a Harley Road King . Switched the OEM front Amber Signal / running Lights for a LED Arlen Ness light bar . The Tech. said that they were suppose to be Dim when Blinking . They are maybe 20 % brighter when they Signal , maybe less. No Hyper Flash , just weak weak signaling . Do you think a Flasher would fix that ? I;ve been thinking I needed an Equalizer or Resistor and have to splice into the wires.
Hey, any update on this? I’m having the same problem the led lights dim instead of actually flashing which I feel is less useful than the oem halogen bulbs because they also stay on constantly just dim when using them
Learned that last week. Amazon has the flasher for 10 bucks.
Sure does! Thanks for watching!
Hi dear how are you dear? Can you explain to me how it works?
Just a question - would a 3 pin relay be better than a 2 pin relay? The 3 pin of course has the optional extra earth terminal. Just wondering. Thanks
I got one for my 96 ford ranger and it wouldn’t work plugged in correctly
Hello! I have a 1992 Ford Ranger Custom Super Cab with the 2.3 in it. I have put several different types of LED bulbs in my truck and they won't blink at all. I saw this video and thought that this was my problem. Nope. I cannot find a flash relay that will fit in my truck. My truck flash relay is round and the LED electronic ones are square or rectangle. You can't fit a square or rectangle in a round hole. I have bought and tried several round flasher relays that state they are for LED's but they do not fix the problem. What do I need to do to get my blinkers and my 4-way flashers to work.
😌😌Hi dear how are you dear? Can you explain to me how it works?
I hooked up a led flasher and I have left and right turn signal but my hazards don’t work and does nothing?
Do you have a link to one that will work for my truck? I have a 1990 F-150 and the flasher is round.
I’m not familiar with those trucks, but you could definitely just make a jumper wire from one flasher to another with 4 spade connectors and some wire.
Just installed led taillights on my 1968 c10 .didn’t order the led flasher at the same time so when the flasher showed up I installed all three.turned on and tried everything no turn signal .after checking all components for something wrong I found nothing.ended up trying my original heavy duty flasher and bam .all good .my question is WTH ?????????? Baffled once again.
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
Was the LED flasher wired backwards? A lot of them only work one way, which is a bit odd. Flip the wires going to it and see what happens. Or ignore it because it works great now! :) either way - thanks for watching my video! C10’s rule!
You can only plug in the flasher one way .I’m sure if I switched the wires it would work .it’s not fun under that dash at 64 years old so if it works don’t fix it .on to other issues .thanks anyways.I’ll keep an eye on you’re videos and learn more .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@johnmccool7551 - that sounds like a great plan to me! Thank you for watching!
So it doesn’t turn on because of low current flow ?
So I don't need a load resistor?
Ugh, no help. I already replaced the Relay Flasher, when I converted all my light bulbs to LED (2005 Silverado), took care of the "Hyper Flashing". Rear Side markers have a white LED (the housing is Red), everything works great. I want to switch to a Red LED (gives it a deep Red), but switched to 2 different LED's (both have a Red hue) and the Marker stays on, activated, won't Flash (Turn Signal). This also causes the Front Side markers to stay off. Hazards won't flash. My dash, the turn signal indicators don't flash either AND they are bleeding color (lightly illuminated even when not activated).
Tried looking/researching for other relays that can help, but none are given except for "Diode Dynamics LED Flasher compatible with Chevrolet Silverado 2003-2006, LM487", which I already have installed, that took away the Hyper flashing. I am stumped. Not a big deal, I guess, just that the white bulb makes it look "lite", kinda pinkish, while the Brake/turn signal light has a deep/rich red color and its making my ADHD/OCD crazy!
I want to try your system I think this is the solution to my problem, When I momentarity use blinker they but does not when I engage the lever fully, I have these digi-tails set up. Im having a hard time following your video, please send me a diagram of your wiring set up. Solutions from digi-tail did not work, Pleas Help!
I have all 4 turn signal on my motorcycle and replaced the flasher to an led one but it still dosent work
My turn signals and flashers used to work and now they quit soni bought a led flasher since it has leds and now the turn signals light up solid but the 4 ways flash its on a 94 volvo l46 semi dunptruck any idea why any tips would be greatly appreciated
Is your LED flasher wired backwards? They generally only work one way. If you wire them backward, you get lights that turn on but dont flash.
I have made LED turn signal lights operate with a standard flasher.
I bought some aftermarket smoked headlight assemblies that have the halogen bulbs in them for the headlight but the bottom ones is just a LED bar that turns yellow when you cut on your turn signal and then when it goes back off and turn back white for the driving lights had resistors in there from the factory but still hyperflash so I bought a lm487 LED flasher for a 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 that is supposed to be for LEDs but it still don't flash right and then it makes my trailer brake lights when I've got it hooked up to a trailer not work I could take the original GMC one it's stick in there and the trailer brake lights will work any clues of what I can do
Unfortunately I’m not super familiar with the workings of those style lights, so I don’t think I can be of much help. Have you tried contacting the seller of them? Maybe they can provide a wiring diagram /schematic?
What happens when you turn the park lights on and turn on the signal and it goes back steady light and it flashes when the park lights off
