Hello TRS,
A while back I switched all the bulbs on my Ranger over to LED's. However, I decided to change back after having the following issue.
The LED bulbs (purchased from SiriusLED's), did not always come on, or when they did, they would just emit a small amount of light. Sometimes they would come on, but randomly shut off/come on.
My first thought (since it was multiple lights) was the voltage was fluctuating. I wired in my meter and monitored several different locations - voltage remained steady and fairly consistent (12.2v-13.6v).
Second thought was bad connections. So I cleaned all the connections on the bulbs and the truck. I used dielectric grease and double-checked that all connections were tight. All looked good, however the problem persisted.
I doubt I received that many bad bulbs.
Does anyone have any input or suggestions as what to try next?
Thanks
