 Calendar Event: Break Light FlashesPosted: 02 Sep 2014 at 5:58pm |

I agree it sounds like a problem with the tail/turn light combiner. When mine went bad both brake lights flashed exactly like a turn signal. Be careful to order a new one that supports LED lights, not all can drive LEDs.

If your running lights are on while you're breaking with the turnsignal, then yes, it might look like your description; but that'd be it. Except, the flashing frequency shouldn't be noticeably slower - well, not on a truck built in this century (wow, it feels very strange saying that); a 90s truck's flasher might slow down a bit due to the voltage drop from powering all the lights.

Sounds like a bad logic module light controller on the truck. If yours has one. IE: If your truck has separate brake light & turn light bulbs on each side, then you truck has to have a logic module to adapt that system to the single brake/ turn light bulb on the Rpod. Sounds like that little black box is bad. Or it may have a poor ground.

I have a 2014 RPOD 171 and on our recent trip my wife who was following me said that when I applied my breaks my left break light flashes as though I was making a turn. This only happen when the vehicle in running. In addition, the speed of the flashing is slower than a turn signal.
So my question is: Is the left one flashing when it shouldn't or is the right one not flashing when it should? Thanks in advance. |
