Load Resistor Recommendation to Prevent LED Trailer Tail Lights Flicker
Updated 05/21/2018 | Published 05/19/2018
Question:
I have installed load resistors on my LED trailer turn light circuit’s but the tail lights still flicker when the ignition is turned off and win the ignition is turned on with no turn signal actuation from the steering column. Can I or should I install additional load resistors on the tail light circuit as well for each light? Thank you

Expert Reply:
Installing load resistors on the trailer's wiring like the # DI34ZR will prevent the flickering of the taillights if you wanted it to stop. If you can live with the flickering though there's no reason you'd have to do this. The flickering of the LEDs won't drain the battery and a free solution would be to just unplug the trailer wiring when not towing.
