flasher gone bad, or a bulb burnt out but I would go with the flasher or a smashed wire

 

Is it a fast clicking noise in the dash?

 

very fast

 

You need to upgrade your blinker to one that can support LED's. You need an EP27 relay specifically for LED's.

and can i get a quick walk threw on how to swap it out?

 

Yup... behind your dash (behind floor console and upward), look to the right, you will see a rectangular box. Open it, there is a big blue square relay. THAT is your turn signal relay. Pull it out, plug the new one in and you are set.

 

can you grab me a picture of said box? so i can do this without flipping out a swearing because i cant find a box?

 

I cant right now. Just go in your truck, use a flash light and look to the right..you'll see it. If you lack fingers, then yes, you will be flipping out and swearing. Other than that, you will be fine. You can find the relays at some auto parts stores, but some may not work. Thats why I ended up just getting one from that ebay seller.

 

i just bought the one you showed me on ebay, and ill look for it and i have the lack of brain to hand communication

 

You will be fine, wiggle out the old relay and then plug in the new one.

 

okay

 

Depending on the type of switchback led, both the yellow and white may stay on like that. Unless they're the $100 switchback leds that alternate Y/W, both will be on at the same time.

I've been working on a mod to utilize the inexpensive switchback leds so they work like the expensive ones.

 

these ones wont flash. both will light up and stay untill i stop. and when i use the blinker, the tails wont flash now so it must be the blinker relay

 

Do the rears light up at all? If they arent blinking real fast, there may be an issue with the switchbacks. Usually when you convert to LED's you will get the hyperflash without the right relay, and ALL turn signals flash.

 

the rears light up with i turn the lights on, and the hazards work on the switch backs, just not the blinkers, and the tails are a different led

 

okay so all the lights turn on, the hazards works, but the turn signal doesnt flash

 

OK a month ago there was talk about a “Switchback”.

Help me out, what “switchback” are we talking about here, has to do with the directionals yes but… ?
