Hi, can someone help. I have fast flashing indicators since I installed new LED taillights. ??? Need a relay. If so where does it go or do i need to replace something? I'm in a remote part of WA so have to order things in as there is no "local shop" to go to 4 help. Thanks in advance
Both indicators or just one?
Put your hazards on and ensure all four lights are working first then let us know.
Could also be other faults with the trailer plug/ wiring and I'm sure other things as I'm hopeless with electrics but try that first?
You will have to place a pair of inline led resistors as there will be a power drop at the LED. It is a simple fix
The speed of the flashing is set by the resistance of the lamps. With LED lamps you will have to add a resistor to the circuit to reduce the flash times. Don't know where you are in WA but this is the type of thing you need.

This add from SCheap but NARVA should be available from most outlets Repco etc or on line.
Good luck.
You just replace the Flasher Relay under the dash near the steering column with an LED compatible one.
Less than $5 on Fleabay or $15 aussie sellers or $25 retail at Supercheap etc.
I don't see the point in arrrsing around with load resistors.

The only time you need to add a load resistor is if your Cruise Control uses the same micro switch as your brake lights and stops working.
Then you need to add a single load resistor in the brake light circuit.
If your cruise uses a dual brake switch setup or isn't sensitive to floating voltage then no worries
Hey mate, head on over to the Introduction Section and introduce yourself, always a nice thing to do before asking for assistance
Sorry to dive straight in asking questions. Thank u everyone for your help. Will let u know how it went ! Fingers crossed.
Mate as ET says just get the led blinker relay, it's located behind the dash on the lh side of the steering column, I got one thru eBay delivered foe around $5.
Hi Allymac , after trying all other led flasher relays . I found this relay works well as you can adjust the speed of flasher and it's cheap from Ebay regards AlexQuote:
