led tails flickering fast

[TEXAS DEMON]

i just installed new set of matrix led tails. everything is fine, but when i put the turn signals it starts slow then goes fast. what is going on hahaha?

u need resistors. just did this to my wifes yukon

 

[TEXAS DEMON]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh ok. do you know what type of resistors? will this cause a short on the electrical systemi if i dont install them soon?
thanks

 

[lowAZhoe]

got mine from v-leds. they are just load resisitors. wont cause any problems, it just thinks a light bulb is out.

 

[TEXAS DEMON]

cool. i ll get that done.

Might also be a problem with the lights themselves (which was the case in my situation). If that's the case, new resistors won't help.

Incidentally, are you sure that yours DON'T have resistors?

 

[lowAZhoe]

led tails usually have resistor packs built in or included. ive done leds one 4 different 07+ tahoes/yukons and they have all flashed fast only when turn signal on with the brakes on. at first i swapped them for new ones, new resistor packs, and still same issue. added resistor to turn signal wire and problem solved.

yeah it has what i belive is the resistor pack. is a black box.

Make sure your resistor pack is plugged in good? It's possible that its not making a good connection!

Negra -- I hope your experience is different than mine was, but I had to send back one of my tails because the problem was in the LIGHT, not the resistor. The Co. insisted that I try new resistors first, which I understand, but the problem was in the light. New resistors, same problem. New light, problem solved. Just want to forewarn you that it could very well be in the light.
