I like to think of myself as smarter than the average bear for chasing down electrical gremlins but this one has me stumped. My flasher relay suddenly started running whenever the key is on regardless of whether the turn signals or hazards are on. Weirdly, all of the lights work perfectly and as expected. Also weird is that I've done no work on anything remotely electrical so no clue what might have triggered this change. The flasher is the led compatible flasher modified per Spoke's instructions. As far as I can tell, all lights and everything electrical is working perfectly fine except for the constant annoying clicking of the relay. Luckily I can't hear it when the engine is running. Any ideas?

My personal hell. I thought I had mine licked when I found some weak contacts at a front turn signal. It went away for a few days.
Now back again and I've discovered that my reverse lights work intermittently. Going to troubleshoot those to see if that's the cause. Please post if you solve your issue. |
