2021 Chevy Equinox Diode Wiring Kit Installation
Question:
WHEN USING DIODES THE RIGHT AND LEFT TURN BLINK FAST AND BRING UP ERROR CODE ON THE CARS CONSOLE- TAKE OUT DIODES AND THEY WORK FINE DAVE
asked by: DAVID H
Expert Reply:
The purpose of the diode is to prevent power from surging back and damaging your wires and other components. It sounds like the diodes are wired incorrectly if you're having issues with your signals flashing rapidly and giving you an error code on the console. You could also have a short somewhere in the wire if you accidentally nicked a wire while installing the diodes so you'll want to examine your wire to ensure there is no damage.
I attached an installation video for the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 4-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit Item # RM-15247 that will show you how to properly install the diode kits into your tail light.
