I reserve the right to resort to step "5" at any time!

Re: LED Lighting with resistors
First off, that flasher unit does say it's polarity sensitive. If the plug is wired backwards, you can just pop the leads out and flip them around.
But since your issues extend to the running and brake lights, I'd venture to guess something got disturbed when the LEDs were installed. When I bought my truck, the right turn signals didn't work and the running lights were dim on that side. Turned out the bulb in the front turn signal wasn't rotated all the way into place and it was partially shorting the circuit. Once it was snapped into place, everything was okay.

Re: LED Lighting with resistors
I assure you that no beers were harmed in the destruction of my ignition!
Just a little too much elbow grease upside down underneath the dash, a somewhat harmless bump tucking some wiring and flashers up out of the way and *^%#%^*^%#*!!!
Typical

Re: LED Lighting with resistors
I would probably used about 30 "colorful metaphors" & harmed at least 3 beers on that one!

Re: LED Lighting with resistors
What's the status on your lights? You find the problem? Just got these in for my Super Duty yesterday http://www.amazon.com/JDM-ASTAR-Extreme ... ge_o01_s00 now the running lights are white, but turn off and flash orange.

Re: LED Lighting with resistors
New flasher received and installed...same result. Lt/Rt blinker turn ON...but no blinky blink.
I am going to check the column wiring connections but at this point, I'm kind of dead in the water with time and (wiring) ability.
Passenger side brake light only, so - I need to find the 1 wire where I'm off. Thanks for checking!

Re: LED Lighting with resistors
Aztec, I really have to thank you for reminding me how PO'd (and I'm not talking about Previous Owner!) I was about this "easy little" project!!!
So, what did I learn?
I received my new ignition switch and installed that. I can start my rig again. I un-taped and pulled the column connection apart and went over the diagram again and All seemed to be in its right spot.
1 of the new rear LED taillights was out. Dead.
I replaced both of the rears with regular old 1157's and by golly, I had brake lights.
Next, I replaced both new LED flashers with the old flashers. I had brake lights, I had blinkers, front & rear.
Then I ran 2 independent wires from the flasher plug and cris-crossed them to the new flasher. BINGO!
Everything works again, well, almost. I still don't have the right rear quarter and front left fender marker lights?
I did swap the LED lights from Lt to Rt and it's not the bulbs. They worked on the opposite sides.
I'll order one more rear LED taillight and if everything still works from there I'll worry about the side markers later. At least I have brake lights headlights and turn signals so I can drive it again!!!

Re: LED Lighting with resistors
This is pre-white LED'S for my turn signals. Also ordered the white mirror lights. In this pic I had 2 lights out on the grill, grounds had come loose & had to re-solder. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk
