installed one of these on my 04 silverado, when i put leds in the front turn signals they would not work? IS THIS A BAD FLASHER?

Try turning the LED bulb in the socket 180°. Diodes (LED - Light Emitting Diode) only allow electricity to pass through in one direction. If that does not work, try a working halogen bulb with the new flasher. If that works, chances are a bad LED. If it doesn't, most likely a bad flasher.I have an 03 Silverado, every bulb in and out are LEDs. Except headlights and fog lights - HIDs.

I put it in my 04 Silverado, and everything worked great. So I would say you have a bad unit. Did you make sure you have the correct polarity on your LED's. To change polarity, try turning on your park lights as you replace them, and if they dont light, try turning the bulb 180 degrees and reinserting it.

This flasher claims to work for leds. I bought it so that I wouln't have to wire load resistors. However it requires 0.5 amps for operation. The LED bulbs draw .25 amps for each side. Only the hazard lights would work because together they will draw the required amps. So I ended up installing load resistors anyway.

What kind of led's? Are they the inexpensive switch back or are they the more expensive Cree? They putting regular bulbs while you habr the led flasher in. If it works then its not the flasher its the bulbs if it doesnt work then it is the flasher. These thing suck work on because you never know what quality led bulbs your getting i habe had to trouble shot ot one step at a time. I recently tried to put 194 led cree bulbs in my front marker lamp and my rear led taillights stopped working. But when i put regular led bulbs in it everything worked again.

Maybe. I checked this part though and it says it doesn't fit 04 Silverados. I put it in an 03 Sierra and had no issue. Leds work great now.
1724775
I would plug the old one back in and try that. It will blink fast with the led but if its getting power then you know that you have a bad unit.
1724776
Not sure. My vehicle is an '03 Sierra and it works fine. I have LED's in both the front and the back.

I installed one in my 2004 Silverado with LED's in the rear and filament lamps in front and it worked great. Will your lights turn on at all and not flash or do they just not come on at all? Did they work with your old flasher & just flash rapidly? My old flasher made my signals flash rapidly w/led's until I put this flasher in and then it slowed it down to normal speed. Put your old flasher in to see if your lights work. It could be you have bad flasher.

It could be, also you can only have so. Any LED bulbs. I had to put some of mine back to regular bulbs. It would not function right with all bulbs being LED.

As long as you have the standard thread size and diameter shaft, they'll work fine. If you had old school style turn signals, you'll need to get a resistor set to make them flash.

The brake light module works on all brake lighting. I tried it with a regular and LED light. Both work just as well. Remember though by making the bulb flash more often than usual bulbs or LED's go out sooner than later/called over usage. Everything has a lifeline. I drove around today and I tell you people sure take notice to the flashing third light. the majority stayed off the rear of my vehicle. Good luck

No, the flash patterns are too fast and the load current too high. Look for an alternating flasher pot much like a single flasher on your turn signals. Or you could also replace your fog light bulbs with led versions and this flasher would work.

No, it is truly just plug and play. Make sure you test the connections prior to completely installing the headlight. If the connections are plugged in backwards (hard to tell) then they won't work. Simply flip the plug around and all will be good. it won't hurt anything if its plugged in backwards...they just won't work. Hope all goes well, good luck!

Do you get a led compatible flasher to go with the turn signal? Mine works fine with led tail lights.

I have these on my 2013 big horn Ram with no problems, simple plug and play. My truck had the non LED lighting before so if you have the LED tail lamps they will not work.

I have a 2003 Dodge Durango that had a 4 way plug. I bought this adapter and I seem to have the somewhat of the same problem. Whenever I turn on a turn signal, every light on my camp trailer blinks (tail lights and all clearance lights). I have not gone through the wiring yet on my camp trailer, but now that you have asked the same question I am wondering if it is something to do with the plug. Maybe these are not compatible for one reason or another. Please let me know if you find anything else out.

Passenger side yes driver side no and one bulb on the flasher does not light up

I was going to put it in but held off when I made a trip to bowling Green. I've too have heard about cruise not working but will find out shortly when I put it in and experiment. It would be a lot cleaner on wire leading to turn signals not having resistors for my switchbacks. I have been selling led lights to several forums and locally to many people for about 3 years. I am one of maybe 2 in the US to carry the new Cree/driver headlights and can't keep them in stock they sell so fast. I am DFWWIZ on TBSSowners and GMTNation forums.

Not sure leds effect different makes n models differently. Check forums or other reviews for your model vehicle....my 06f150 just blinked faster; i know depending electrical and options cruise etc they impact different also if you use more than one set of bulbs tail lights etc it has various impact.....gluck.

The only led that I have an issue with are 2/4 ...( I think 4 ) that illuminate the license plate. However , they were not working on arrival/installation so I wouldn't necessarily say they went out. Probably just a manufacturer defect. Side note ( make sure you don't wire them up backwards lol ) overall great tail lights.

First off why did you change the bulb? Great upgrade to LED. If you had a brake light problem to begin with it may be your B.L. Switch. If neither of them work it must be up line. Try testing the bulb ground the outer housing and put 12v to each terminal if they work it is your vehicle test light those sockets. If you have power while the blinker is on then make sure they are not frozen in place spray a lube in the socket and use a non conducting push rod to loosen the springs. Hope this helps. Also if you change front and rear you need a low voltage flasher.

The lights only come on with engine running and vehicle in gear. If they still are not working then you may need to rotate the plugs. (The polarity is backwards) also are your connectors burnt. GM has a problem with the connectors burning up from the bulbs burning so hot. LED's use less heat but you may need to replace the connectors

sorry you probably figured this out already just got the message i used electronic flasher from advanced auto parts pluged it inyou would think they would tell you this when you buy them everything worked

I just bought them and put them in my 2015 STI and all of them work except the ones that go in the license plate lights. No matter what I did, they kept flickering. I think they need to put a different bulb in those. It is the same bulb as in the trunk and I had to wiggle that one around until it got a good connection too. I will try to get in touch with the vendor and see if they will switch them out.

When you use the led bulb on turn signal need resistor to solve the hyper flash (flash fast) otherwise no
