This is the only relay I can find which "clicks" when I feel around with the turn signals on.


Thanks!

No, those are the lock & unlock relays. I tried to post a pick of the terminal but the size is too large.

I could send you what I got in an email to help show you what it is in more detail.

Sure shoot it over by email when you have a chance. Do you still have my email address?

Here is what's happening...click for the video:



Keep in mind this only happens when the brake is pressed. The tail lights and lower bumper lights flash in unison when JUST the flashers are on.

So I thought maybe the resistor boxes the instructions say not to install which I did were causing the problems. I installed them because the blinker indicator lights on the cluster were dimly on all the time and the resistor boxes resolved that.


Unplugged one of the resistor boxes and that side flashed fast.


Tonight I put regular bulbs in both sides of the front flashers and rear lower bumper flashers. I thought maybe the added resistance would fix the opposite flashing at the rear as shown in the video......no luck......

THEN I thought I could replace the flasher relay with the LED flasher relays and maybe that would solve the problem. However after finding the huge flasher relay I know there isn't an LED relay replacement for that. They are all the standard square relays.....ugh

Yes, that was the one I was looking at. You got it.

I have a thought..............

An easier way to figure out this mystery is if mine works like they are supposed to and we both have the same models.......maybe a quick visit back to my garage where we can get both rigs side by side and open each of them up one at a time and compare them and see just what differences there are (if any).

I agree, let me know if yours alternate flashing when the brake is pressed or not and we'll go from there!
