Troubleshooting Flatbed LED Lights Hyperflashing with Load Resistors Installed

Updated 07/01/2024 | Published 06/10/2024

Question:

I installed load resistors on my flatbed for the rear lights 6 lights in total and the lights still hyper flash even with them installed, they are installed correctly I have triple checked.

Hey Alex, thanks for reaching out!

It could be that your load resistors aren't working properly, but I'm just wanting to check and see if you've installed a load resistor on each light, or just certain ones. It would also be helpful to know if you're referring to a flatbed trailer or a flatbed on your truck.

I really like the Load Resistor Kit for LED Turn Signals # DI34ZR and I've used it before when I needed to get an LED light on a hitch cover to work properly.

I am referring to a flatbed for truck, also I have installed a resistor on each light (6) in total

@Alex Thanks for the feedback! In this case I recommend taking your truck to a shop to have them look at it. Trailer wiring is pretty simple but when you start getting into vehicle electronics things can get a little complicated when swapping out bulb types and using resistors. In theory the resistors should work, but since you're still having issues it's best to have someone experienced physically look at what's going on.
