LED flasher relay not working

There is no compatibility issue. That is the same flasher relay that JDMToys sell.

2 things could be the issue here.

1) You got a defective unit.
2) When u plugged it in & tried it with incandescent bulbs, u fried the unit.

If u already had LED bulbs when u tested the unit, I would say that #1 would be the problem, however I'm afraid that when u tested it with the incandescent bulbs still installed, u over loaded the flasher relay. These flasher relays aren't designed to carry the load of the incandescent bulb. There designed for LEDs which draw less amps.

 

It's also possible that the unit will not work with incandescent bulbs but is still functional. You won't know until you get your LEDs.

I ran the incandescent bulbs with this flasher relay with no issues. I am thinking you might have a bad relay.

 

Fun job wasn't it?

 

Haha.....when I did mine it was the best 30 mins I've spent on my head

 

Since the flasher makes a tick sound when hazards are on, and vibrates to the touch... isn't it possible to just "feel up" the dash without lying on your back trying to spot it. Grab the thing that vibrates to each tick and pull it out.

 

You could try that but you wouldn't get it out in one piece (like me). You have to locate a couple of push pins to get it out the right way. Very tough though with the steering column in the way etc.

 

Not unless u have very long arms. The relay is all the way at the top of the dash underneath the top of the dash panel & just like spiderman said, there is a locking tab that needs to be released

 

Any way to get at it from the top by removing trim/bolsters?

 

The only way to get the the flasher from the top is to remove the entire top part of the dash,
