So Ive posted a thread asking for schematics of the internal contacts of the 4 pole flasher due some qierd happeni gs after changing to all LED lamps and bulbs. I was convinced I had something crossed as when I would hit my brake only my front turn signals would come on, no brake lights. Now mind you everything was working correctly with the halogens.
Ive spent 3 days tracing wires loking for shorts, nicks, bad grounds etc. What I had forgotten was at the time I changed over to the LEDS, I had replaced my turn signal switch.
I went over that thing 100x over 3 days verifying that the wires ( which are all new & marked with thier id) and everything was correct color and name wise. Then it hit me as much as I did not want to beleive it but the switch had the colors swapped from the mfg. Lt Green & Dk Green were swapped at the contacts, Tan and Brown were as well...re-pinned at the connector and what do you know everything works!!!!
It sounds stupid and I cant beleive I kept talking myself out of it and switching them around in the first place, I was convinced the LEDs were the root cause and that a company could not screw something so simple up.
Anyways Im pretty happy with it now....just need to figure out what happpened to my 6AL now...
