25th Anniversary #9772
oh ye electrical gremlin... go away (please) - RESOLVED! bad LED!
ok - the car is (was) fully working IMHO before paint - two electrical gremlins bugging me
1. high beams on by default - already chasing this one https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/show...-on-by-default wiring looks good, but still digging
2. right turn signal flashes all the dash lights - yes, you read that correctly...
using the left turn signal is just perfect, left lights blink on/off or hi/low (if lights are on), and the left indicator blinks in the speedhut speedo
setup:
RT Turn Signal setup
IDIDIT relay for high/low beam on the stalk
RF wire harness
Speedhut wire harness
locking hazard button
we've pulled the lower dash/stereo out to get more room - trying 'not' to pull the dash if we don't really have to
also took the speedometer out of the dash to see inside a bit more
somehow we're determining that the right turn flasher is somehow tied into the dash lights - trying to trace everything
here's the testing (over testing IMHO) on the wiring
as would be expected if you hook up a white dash light wire to pink flash wire
all 4 lights flash on/off - but so does the dash
hazard light activity:
turn the light switch on - dash lights turn on - press hazard, 4 hazards flash as expected, dash is lit (no flashing)
turn the lights off - dash lights turn off - press hazard, 4 hazards flash and the dash flashes
turn signal activity:
key on, activate left turn signal, left turn signals blink, left turn signal blinks in speedo
key on, activate rt turn signal, rt turn signals blink, rt turn signal blinks in speedo, AND all dash lights blink
connect green left turn to pink hazard, left blinks as hazard, front right parking light goes out
blue hzd rt connect to pink hzd flash - all 4 blink
light switch turned on green left side turn - connect to pink hzd
left front blinks low/hi flash, right front blinks on/off flash
left rear blinks low/hi flash, right rear stays on low light, no flash
light switch turned on blue right side turn - connect to pink hzd
left front stays at low light no flash, right front does low/hi flash
left rear stays at low light no flash, right rear does low/hi flash
light switch turned off green left side turn - connect to pink hzd
left front blinks on/off, right front is off
left rear blinks on/off, right rear is off
light switch turned off blue right side turn - connect to pink hzd
all 4 lights flash on/off
dash flashes with lights
very odd how some of the corner lights flash differently depending on wire connections - obviously not fully wired as expected as the hazards are wired in pairs (front/rear, left/right) so that may be the odd blinking modes
really perplexed that when the right turn signal is used, the dash flashes...
I know it's a matter of tracing wires, but any first thoughts? very odd!!
