  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Yes, however mine were both working inside before the lsed change then again BEFORE the LED change the right inside blinker went out but the left still was good. THEN after the bulb change to LED neither inside blikers worked. So I'm thinking this has nothing to do with the bulbs or LED's????

    I found that the LEDS were so bright in the blinkers it was blinding when they were turned on at night

    Jamie Carnes May the Torque be with you.

    If you haven't changed the 2 bulbs in the back of the A/C & heater control, the dim condition may be the result of a bad bulb or bulb sockets that aren't installed correctly in the back of the control. If you can locate the bulb wires and sockets, you should be able to confirm that they are getting power with a tester and install new bulbs. I'm sure someone makes an LED version of the 1893 if you want the brightness to match your other components.

    The turn signal indicators could be experiencing a number of problems if you are sure your bulbs are good and you know power is coming to the speedometer's circuit board. The socket prongs may not have a good connection on the speedometer's circuit board, or the sockets may have an issue of some sort. If the metallic ribbon on the back of the speedometer's circuit board has been compromised in some way, that could also cause a no-power condition for the indicator lights when they are supposed to blink. Also, the pins that actually plug into the speedometer's wiring harness often get brittle and can come loose; this, too, can cause no-power issues to the speedometer's lights. It sounds like you might have to get a better look at the back of the speedometer.

    What I have found on most climate control back plates is that the bulb heat distorts the plastic. That results in the bulb sockets falling out of the plastic.
