Blinkers

[luckysob]

Hey all.


Have been working on my blinkers.

Don't have brake lights or a reverse light but i can jump every light on the truck !

Any advice?

Thanks.

I am not sure what the question is?
Brake lights have a sensor at the pedal, reverse lights have sensor at the transmixer.
Checking the ground all seems to pay off as well...

Sounds like what mine did.It was in the contacts behind the steering wheel. A little soap and water after I took it apart and used a little sand paper on the brass contacts. The hazard switch on the dash has the same circuits incorporated into it as well. I took it apart and used the same method. Worked out great!

Turns out it was the connection @ the blinker box

Gremlins... Dont pour water on them.

I have been rebuilding my 70 FJ40 and the blinkers didn't want to co-operate as well as i wanted LEDs. I went ahead and ditched the original blinker/hazard setup and did my own. i used a Flasher meant for LEDs, and so far so good. You can pick up diodes from any electronics store or (sighhhhh) Amazon. My rig uses simple LED trailer lights for the rear bumper, so the blinker is shared with the stop light.

Looks good, I've been running this same setup in my 55 for a few years now and still going strong.
