Troubleshooting a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT That Has Reddish Turn Signals

Question:

I have 2000 Ford Ranger XLT and I have LEDs in my brake light that is also my turn signals I do not have any problems with hyper flash but I do have a problem of them going them after about 30 seconds they become a light reddish orange color and I was told that I would have to get a load equalizer but the thing of it is I do not have no hyper flash problems Im thinking that the load equalizer will help the LED bulbs stay red like theyre supposed to

It sounds like there is some bleed over from the turn signals to the brakes which may be causing the reddish color you're seeing.

To fix this, I'd recommend installing one diodes in each of your tail lights with the Roadmaster Single Park Light Diode # RM-690. The diode is going to act as a 1 way gate and will allow power to flow through it in only one direction, which will eliminate the bleed over.
