I have a 2 prong flasher. I wired according to diagram. The red light on the switch always blinks. Do I need a 3 prong flasher?

Sounds like u wired the light to the flasher. Listen to flasher and if u got a wire wrong u will here the flasher clicking. FYI my light burned out first week

Don't know what you mean by "red light blinks". Mine was done with two prong and works fine. I do recall there were some boo boos in the wiring diagram, I had to fudge things a bit to get mine to work (I do not remember by now what I did different).

The wire that goes to the light if I remember is either the blue or green and should be hot when u turn the key sounds like it's wired to the blinkers just try to move a fee around I run a 2 prong but just updated to a 3

Nope that's the norm for these lights! check the fuse by the plug first, go to radioshack for new fuses. i had 2 of these lights that pop'ed and sparks came out I contacted the company, they sent me 2 new light heads opened the box 1 st one worked the 2nd one was dead on arrival it never ends with these! Lol so far I have 2 out of three that haven't given me issues in the last 2-3 months

There are three lights, two orange, center and right, the far left one is red. If the circuit is fine and grounded you will get two orange lights. If its un grounded you get the center orange light, if its reversed polarity which means the black and white wires are reversed you get a red and center yellow light. There are a couple of other scenarios which are open hot and open neutral. Not sure any of these would require you to call an electrician. Any handy man that has basic electrical knowledge can correct the problem. I'm a home inspector and have literally checked thousands and thousands of plugs and I typically find open grounds and reversed polarity quite often and that's about it. Neither of those situations are life and death and are a simple fix assuming your house is a grounded system which if it was built in the 50's on back it may not be or may only partly be.

I did actually did the very same to some degree. I connected only two light strips & it works fine. Can't see why only one strip won't work.The draw [amps] is well under the transformer's limit. If you think about it , if one section goes out. the remaining should still power up. Hope this helps, Edwood

What if you have one more light, WHAT?How do you hook them up? I put all the red wires together and all the black wires together and hook them to power. Red to positive and black to ground. OR I hook up a positive thru the switch I'm using, and a ground from the battery then I "tap" into each with the LED strip wires. You HAVE TO WIRE THEM CORRECTLY RED TO POSITIVE, BLACK TO NEGATIVE OR THE LED WON'T WORK AT ALL. Its not like a regular light bulb that can be wired in reverse. Hope all this mess helps you.

Yes, You need to install wirh load resistor if there is flashing faster.Please refer the link below to know what load register is.Jtech 2x 50W 6 Ohm Load Resistors for LED Light Bulbs (Fix Hyper Flash, Error Messsage)RegardsCustomer Service

Hi Pat, The 4 prong connection sounds correct. Your old bulb assy. will have the model and type printed on it. I recommend you replace it with the same.

Don't quote me on this, but I think red means the device is grounded. So you do want both lights on.

you should. my truck had all 3 wires the same color so I had to keep switching the wires each time to get each light to work and to blink.

No. It's basically a dumb switch. It sends a pulse to the primary via the traveler wire of a traditional three way set up and the main switch works the light. It needs the traveler,neutral and ground.

This is a 3 prong meaning it has the grounding prong. Any retailer or hardware store has the adapter that converts a 3-plug prong to a 2-plug prong but I would advise you check with an electrician before you consider this method. Hope this helps answer your question

I am not sure why the box shorted out within moments of the installation. I would check the input voltage, that is, the power source where you are hooking it up to ensure that it isn't overvoltage. Also, the control box handles the 12V and distributes the voltage to the lights, as well as determines the sequence in which to turn the lights on and off (flash alternating, strobe, all flash). If you just hook the lights up directly you will make them turn on. But without something the control the light sequence, they will only stay on constantly. No flash. No strobe.

Yes, probably a three blade flasher. Look on the web for wiring diagrams, as you will probably need to do some rewiring.

I to was confused about wiring of switch. They need to included a drawing of what goes where. I ended up with only two speeds working. Wish I could help you.

I've noticed that 2 bulbs I put on the same line pop randomly when they're first turned on and for a few minutes after they're turned off. Another on a different outlet does not. I suspect my surge protector or my house's 60 year-old wiring may be the culprit.

I wired mine into my blinker light so they blink, you can also wire them into.your running lights.

Not sure if this is helpful because it might be different but. I connected the following: On the timer yo have a yellow wire, black wire, blue wire and red wire. I have a three way switch but the way they did my outlet I had mulitple same colors attached at the same point. I connected one black wire to black. White wires to white. Blue to red. And one black wire to the yellow wire Do so enables me to then flick the push button to turn the lights on and off, or use the switch at teh front of the house to turn the lights on and off. When I use the switch the timer indicated if the switch is on or off. When I connected all the black wires together before I could simply turn the lights on only by the timer and not the front door switch. Doing the above configuration worked perfectly for me and has been fine for a year now. Hope this helps. -Nigel
