Re: Signal lights

Which light are you talking about? One of the ones outside of the truck or the one in the instrument cluster?

Re: Signal lights

The flasher will cause them to come on but not flash back off. The don't draw enough current to make it trip.

Re: Signal lights

Get a new flasher that is for LEDs. They are usually a clear plastic with the same connection. Your local parts store should know what you need if you tell them you installed LED lights. I think the flasher is a solidstate flasher, it has a chip to do the flashing instead of points.

Re: Signal lights

It looks like this. but as long as it has the same connection, it should plug in like the old part.
