While the accessory lights are on no problems at all. However when driving without the lights on two CRAZY things happen, any help would be much appreciated.
#1 When I hit the brakes and the brake lights are illumintaed the A/C control lights (just the little factory LED's that tell you if it is def, dash, etc. not the illumintaion lights) dim to the level as if the acessory lights were on!
#2 When I put the blinkers on ALL the accessory lights blink with the blinkers, this includes all lights that come on with accessories, including license plate bulbs and ALL four side markers!
Once again this only happens when the VX's lights are off, when they are on everything is perfect. The possible causes to each problem I can think of are below:
#1 -Changed brake lights to Tower LED's just like Moncha, I do not think he put resistors in the brake lights only the blinkers right?
#2 -Changed SIDE MARKERS to LED's (yet even when I put the old bulbs back in it still does this).
#2 -I previously did Moncha's side marker to blinker conversion, and it worked great with bulbs or LED's in side markers, but now I have added quite a few LED's to the illumination circuit in the dash and A/C unit and all other buttons.
#2 -Note: when one SIDE (left or right) only has one bulb (or LED doesn't matter which) then the accessories do not blink as brightly. Also crazy blinking is greatest when motor is running.
I am stumped, I guess I will undo the Moncha blinker mod until I figure out how to do it with all my accessory bulbs now LED's (for crazy blinking #2) and (as for #1) do I need to add something to the brake/driving LED's? Thanks for any help in advance.
