Led upgrade hazard flasher mod

[profdlp]

I installed load resistors in the rear with zero problems. No LEDs in the front at the moment.

You're referring to your brand spankin' new Prius, of course. :mexsmoke:

I just finished this mod, and I'm still having some fast flashing. Used a .1 ohm 6 watt resistor. I put in line resistors on the front signals and everything seems to be working fine now. Not sure what went wrong here. Leds in all four signals, 3 brake lights, and reverse lights (moved to rear bumper). Thoughts?

Can you tell what ones you used for the brake lights? I picked up some a year ago at Autozone and all I could do was blow fuses. Finally gave up.

Did the rear turn signals years ago - just some generic resistors behind the lamps.

Hello everyone
I am pretty darn new around here. I just decided to keep my 2002 Liberty for a while longer vs getting a brand new Grand Cherokee 2018 Summit. I figured I would spruce it up and keep it fun.
I will be doing a new radio, amps, speakers, lights, and fixing odds and ends.
This site has been AMAZINGLY helpful, so THANK YOU ALL!

Now to the current question:

I just ordered some resistors. I got both the .1 Ohm 3W and .1 Ohm 7W

My symptoms are as follows:

I replaced all of my lights in my 2002 KJ Limited, headlights, fog lights, reverse, brake, interior, rear turn signals, front turn signals, and front parking light bulbs.

When all exterior lights are off flashers work perfectly.

When I turn on headlights or even just parking lights, turn signals turn on and stay on (don't flash).

All the fixes I see mentioned are more for the hyper flashing. But I noticed someone here mention a similar issue.

Any thoughts?

Thank You

In case anyone is curious here are some links to all the LED lights I used:

And this is one of the resistors I purchased:

I have a hazard relay already modified that I bought from Brando26 way back when I thought I was going to go full LED. I'm not so if you want it PM me.

Just PM'd you

Would any of these work for me?

I went for the gusto and successfully fixed my issue!

I soldered in a .1Ohm 7Watt resistor as instructed and it works like a charm now!

Here is the exact resistor I used:

Thanks again!

Nice....might do mine. Is this just for the flashers? Or does it also slow down the turns too

Going to do this on my 06 Liberty. Now I wonder if I can do the same on my 07 Wrangler!! Well done!

I’m using Lasfit 3157 led bulbs with built-in resistors at the bow and stern. Got them from amazoon and I’ve been very pleased with them.

I haven't looked at bulbs in forever, built in resistors now?! That sure makes it easier, and if they are made well enough to live a long time or priced cheap enough to replace, that sure is the all in one stop right there.

Yes, I do hope they last a long time because they are a bit pricey, but they are very bright and give the Jeep a more modern look. I have a post in my Member’s Journal where I list all the led lamps I’ve purchased. Replaced everything but the headlights and driving lights.

I hope you have better luck than I did. In my case, I installed some LED reverse lights that were awesome. They didn't last long and after the third or fourth replacement the company that sold them to me decided to ignore my "I need to get this replaced under warranty" emails. But boy - they were nice when they worked... :-(

 

[klc]

Oh, sure. All I can say is that everything is working right now.

 

[profdlp]

I had one type of bulb from on brand, so hopefully that was all it was for me and your experience will be better.

I found where someone else had done this and for the life of me I can't find it now. Either way, mission accomplished with their advice. I took some pictures to help anyone who wants to jump on the boat.
I bought all new exterior led lights include brake, parking, and turn signal bulbs. I despise crimping load resistors in place and having little hot things hanging around precariously with other wires. So this is the only other option I know of. I can't take credit for the idea. Just the pictures and doing it.

This is from an 06 limited kj

You need a soldering iron, pliars, solder, a .1ohm 3 watt resistor ($6 shipped off ebay for 2) some very small flat screwdrivers, a philips screwdriver, and patience.

So remove the stereo and remove the single screw holding In the hazard flasher. You are done with the philips screwdriver.

Pull down the two tabs holding the hazard flasher in place. Remove the flasher from its home position.

Disconnect wire harness by pressing in center tab and pulling off.

Completely disassemble the flasher module. Remove the brass colored clip, remove the button, separate the two halves by pushing in on all 4 tabs and pulling apart. Then to remove the circuit board from the remaining plastic bezel just push hard to one side, then to the other.

You need to remove the silver M shape right next to the white boxes. Might help to have extra hands here.
Grab the m with pliars, and on the other side heat up each solder joint for the M with the soldering iron while pulling on the M. One side at a time. When the M is removed, heat up each spot again and push some of the resistor lead through the old holes on each side. Clip the remaining resistor lead and put flasher back together and reinstall.

Test to ensure it works, if all is well install led lights making sure polarity is corrected if they dont work. Just take the led out of the socket, turn it 180 degrees and put it back.

I didnt blow any fuses during testing. Love the modern digital look of led bulbs and flashers.

I did this weekend. Work perfectly. Thanks for the post.
