LED Load Equalizing Resistor question

Minas335 · 02-07-2010, 08:55 PM

Hey guys I just installed the LEDs and the Equalizing Resistor for my rear blinkers and now wen I start the car it gives me the check light bulb light and the blinker works really fast for a few seconds and then the light goes off and the blinker works great I want to know is this normal? does it warm up or something before it could start working or did I install it wrong?

Thank you

Normal. Its just testing the lights.

I installed the Jlevi LED v2 bulbs for rear turn signals with load equalizer resistors and got the same thing, an error on each start which goes away when you turn on the blinkers a couple of times. Checked with vendor and that was expected, though not what I expected.. Went back to regular bulbs until a real no-error LED solution is available

Hi Minas,

That is normal, the car will reset the error the first time you activate the turn signal cycle.
