I hope someone can help me with this. I recently installed from Harbor Freight the LED light onto my landscaping trailer so I could eventually tow my bike around. Well after completing the job and plugging the trailer cord into my FordF150's trailer receptacle I observed that all the lights were working properly. But when I went to put the directional s on the truck to confirm that I had directional s on the trailer, I saw that I had none! The trucks directions worked fine but the new LED lights just stayed illuminated. They weren't blinking in unison with the truck! I was beside myself and called it a day.
At work I mentioned this to a few of my coworkers. They both agreed that the LED lights need a "load leveler". They said that LED's draw only miliamps and that the truck doesn't sense a load and therefor doesn't trigger the directionals ( or something like that). Anyway, can anyone confirm that i do indeed need an inline load leveler to make them work? And even if you don''t agree with their assessment of the problem could you tell me what you might think is wrong. In a nutshell:All the lights are working but only the truck lights show the directional lights working while the trailer lights only stay illuminated.
Thanks
