Turn signal problems

[Mrobs146]

I have an 03 explorer and installed led tail lights they worked fine for the longest time but now the right turn signal when I turn it on goes super fast like a bulb is out but all the lights work the left will do it from time to time too. Does anyone know what this could be?

LED tail lights/brakes are troublesome on this car.
My suggestion? Go back to the spec bulbs.

it’s the whole assembly not just bulb

Oh, right. That complicates things. I'm def old school, sorry, no nothing about LEDs.

I had to use an LED compatible flasher to resolve the “rapid flashing” issue. The LED compatible flasher was easily available at O’Reilleys. But I have LED bulbs in the stock tail lights, not the entire LED assembly. No problems, yet.

Good luck.

Load resistor in the LED assembly has gone bad.

Fix might be an LED compatible flasher.

I personally hate those, they keep clicking a good 2 seconds after you (or the wheel) turns the signal off.
