Hey, I've checked out the other posts on this.. I'm looking at changing out the LEDs for my blinkers. Specifically to reduce the power draw.. As it stands, my blinkers put a pretty heavy drain on the battery, to the point my radio will cut out at times (maybe signs of a deeper issue?). My understanding is the blinkers may (will?) blink faster, due to the low power consumption. Will a flash fix kit null and void the power gains of switching out to LEDs? http://www.st162.net/forum/showthread.php?1324-LED-lights&highlight=leds
I think the proper solution to your problem would be to search for the weak points in the wiring, and re-wire it.
So my knowledge is a little lacking here.. I searched around, and came across this in the RH tail light: Little hard to tell by the pic, but it's burnt up.. Could this be the cause of the power drain, while using the blinkers? (My knowledge on electronics bluntly sucks.. ) Fixing it regardless, of course.
Rewired, and all happy. Power drain using the blinkers isn't anywhere near as bad now, too :thumbsup:
good to hear man, check all your bulbs, grease them, and make sure your ground strap is nice on your battery with a connection to the frame, and bellhousing. Also a nice thick ground from the alternator to the frame helps alot.
