Question:

C59496 wire kit : Left side blinks ok then, starts to blink rapidly. All other functions are ok. Am I doing something wrong? I have LEDS on my 2014 Camaro Convertible. The Camaros wiring plug has 6 pins wired to it. Same with the right. I cant seem to find a color code for the Camaros light/ taillight circuit anywhere. Help, please......I dont want to mess up the electrical system. My owners manual doesnt have wire schematic.

In order to determine the functions of the wires on your 2014 Chevy Camaro you will need to use the included circuit tester that came with # C59496. What you are describing sounds like hyperflashing which can happen when using LED lights but usually not stock LED lights on a vehicle.

If the issue is happening on a trailer then the hyperflashing is a result of not enough load on the system. Installing a load resistor such as # DI34ZR in line of the affected circuit would cause more draw and stop the hyperflashing.

You will also want to make sure the ground wire is attached to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface where you have the C59496 converter box installed. The surface cannot be painted or coated either.

On the trailer side make sure all of the light grounds are attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. Sometimes you can run a jumper wire from a light ground to the axle if the trailer has a tilt bed, folding tongue, or aluminum frame.
