Front LED signals no worky

[sh00ter]

 Hey any of you cats know why the LEDs I put in my front turn signals don't work?  Same ones work fine in the back.  I've tried other too.  Can't make LEDs work on the front turn, what gives?   :nono

shOOter, are these in addition to the OEM bulb or replacements?

replacements

Do they have built in resistors to fool the light monitor? Maybe a link to the bulb would help so we knew what you were trying to install.

greetings sh00ter...

are they 1156 replacements...

you gotts a name and a number on those bulbs...

are you using them for marker and turn lights or just turn lights...

Oh I didnt think of that.  The bulb monitor only cares about the front ones?  I thought it only did tail and head bulbs   Ill bypass the bmu and give that a shot.

I got a signal minder in this pppy.  Just trying to do signals.  Works perfect in the back. But the fronts just won't blink.  I'll try the bmu and see if that's it.

do the old bulbs still work...

Sometimes the polarity is reversed on the RS front turn signals. 

Hard fix: Swap and resolder the wires.

Easy fix:  Shave off the square corners on the connector with an Exacto knife or other sharp instrument and flip the connector over.

Before doing either use a voltmeter to confirm polarity.

shizzz i never thought of that - makes perfect sense given the diode-ed-ness of the LEDs .... will report back manana .. it's miller time now.

I chose option 2; two second utility knife fixed it right up - thank you Duck!  (Maybe update the LED lieberry sticky with this tidbit?)

Nah, don't want to make things TOO easy. :laugh
