No load flasher question. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Kinger615 · 02-25-2017, 01:18 AM

Just installed new LED parking and tail lights on my 63 and having a issue. I'm only getting my front markers to flash. When I disconnect the front I can get the rear to flash. I can not get the front and rear to go off together. Any ideas on what could be the issue? Is it a flasher issue or a ground?

LED lights take a special flasher, you should be able to get one pretty cheap at any parts store. My 63 had the same issue.

thanks for the replies but I forgot to mention that I'm already running a no load flasher...it's a cheaper one so I wonder if quality matters. Its called "keep it clean" was only 10 dollars compared to others around 30+. Just wondering if anyone was had the same issue

You will need to buy one from another source. I used a Keep-It Clean wiring kit on a street rod I built and the flasher they sent with the kit that was supposed to support the LED bulbs that I also bought from them wouldn't work.

I had the same problem. I got one with a ground wire on it. Works good now.
