If you are experiencing a hyper flashing situation with the LED lights, you would need to use one load resistor, such as # DI34ZR, per affected circuit. The load resistors will increase the power draw so the vehicle does not think there is a bulb out or going out. I have linked a video showing an installation for you.

Answer 1

Yes you could use Hopkins converter #HM48895 to combine the separate brake lights and turn signals on your 2004 Dodge Ram to work with LED lights that require combined brake lights and turn signals. You would have to cut the 4-Way end off and…

I have a solution for you, but since you're switching from incandescent to LED lights and taking into consideration the size of light you're going to need, I won't be able to recommend a 4 function light that covers all of those criteria;…

You will wire a load resistor into the wiring of each light socket that has an LED bulb and flashes. So basically you will need to wire a load resistor into any bulb that blinks or has a dual intensity feature that lights up when the brakes,…

The Optronics Load Resistor for LED Lights - Male PL-3 Plug and Female PL-3 Plug #ALEDRST2B will create more of a load draw on your system to stop the hyper flashing. I can't give you an exact number needed as it may only require one for each…

Answer 5

Hyperflashing is typically a problem with LED lights being installed on a vehicle that had incandescent bulbs. If that is the case you will need to install load resistors like part #ALEDRST2B on all of the taillights on the flat bed.

Answer 6

What you are describing can happen on vehicles when LED lights are installed but there is an easy fix. The problem is that the low power draw of LED lights can make the vehicle computer think that there is a bulb out because there isn't enough…

Per Putco, you would need 1 load resistor inline with the wiring harness feeding LED bulb for a turn signal. I believe your Sierra has two bulbs per side, one for the running lamp, one for the brake/turn signal. You only need to install Load…

I reached out to my contact at Luma LEDs just to see if he might have any idea as to what might be causing the issue you described when replacing the incandescents on your trailer with new LED bulbs. He stated that since the LEDs will draw much less…

Answer 9

When someone is experiencing out of control or hyper flashing turn signals, a few things come to mind. First would be, does the trailer have LED lights? If so, installing load resistors, #DI34ZR, on the turn signal circuits should solve the problem.…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

If you are needing the hub and drum assembly then you will want to go with the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly #8-201-5UC3-EZ but if you are just looking for an idler hub then you will want part #8-213-5UC1 instead. These come with the correct…

I've never heard of an actual third brake light connector on a camper shell to plug in on a truck and we don't carry any parts to do that. The light generally needs to be hardwired into the truck's brake light circuit. The issue with this…
