Very nice fix. I had that problem with a Silverado and uses a flasher module for LED s.
ReplyDeleteI was glad to see you don't use quick splices as they seem to fail over time. And, glad you warned Abbott the heat from the resistors.
Magnet seems like a good 💡 idea.
Love the modifications. 🏆
Could those lights work without the armor in the stock location?
ReplyDeleteNot really... I mean yes, anything can be made to work...but it would prob require some modification. If you were looking just for LED lights without the armor, I would do something different, tbh.
ReplyDeleteAnother great job love the magnet idea...ingenious 👍
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the load resistor draw the same power as the old incandescent bulb when wired in since it puts enough load back on the circuit so the computer doesn't see it as a blown bulb
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna go with you're Brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteCloaked Republic!!!!
It limits current, which provides enough load resistance to trick the computer to believe there is an incandescent bulb in place. It doesn't draw or consume power, per se. It simply permits current to flow through it but at a reduced rate because of the added resistance. Think of it this way... a load resistor and a light bulb are the same thing. An incandescent light is just a form of a load resistor. It's allows current to flow through it, providing some resistance, and dissipates the energy into heat and light. The load resistor does exactly the same... except converts it all into heat, and no light.
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks! I'll take it... even if it's probably not the truth! lol
ReplyDeleteOk gotcha thanks for clearing that up for me
ReplyDeleteand they get HOT!
ReplyDeleteThis is total BS the manufacturer should know this is going to happen through testing and provide the resistor installed with the kit. That is totally crappy engineering
