LED cluster Guys

[Ginger]

So i have had LED's in my cluster for about 2 months now. today when driving the truck i noticed a high frequency noise in the speakers. didnt think anything of it, figured bad radio connection of some shit.

well tonight, i went to drive somewhere, the noise is louder, and none of my led's for my cluster light up. everything else works, guages, the high beam light seatbelt light, all that jazz just the bulbs that were swapped to LED dont.

if i turn the illumination down all the way, the noise would stop. so i pulled the cluster, and as soon as i unplug it, the noise stops.

any ideas?

My detective skills point to your leds causing the issues.







:cheeky:

Did you do them yourself or get them done?

 

[Ginger]

got them done

 

[Jared]

Half ofmine are out but no noise.

 

[Khaos]

I did my own, no noise in my speakers :shrug: pm Scott, he can probably point you in the right direction.

maybe a ohm load is screwed up, or it could actually be a bad cluster, just a guess but either way odd issue, never heard of that happening

yet another reason why i dont want led cluster...sucks bryan

 

[Ginger]

it worked flawless until yesterday.

thats when the noise started and the lights went out.

the illumination fuse is for all the stuff that lights up right? like the HVAC and door panel switches right?

 

[BOO5TED]

Didn't Scotty do your cluster?

 

[Ginger]

yea i sent him a PM im sure he never heard of this.

i acutally pulled part of it appart to see if there was any loose connections and it looks perfect i didnt want to pull the needles off for fear i would put them back in the wrong angle.

I would assume that's what it is for. Pull it and see

 

[Ginger]

checked the fuses, they all look good to me.

i fucked around for like a hour last night and it works perfect now. i'm not sure what i did but i think for some reason the wires going into the plug that plugs into the cluster were loose.

but thats just a guess. im just glad it works again.

 

[Khaos]

Yeah that's definitely weird. I haven't heard of leds messing with speakers, usually it's the hid ballasts.

 

[Ginger]

i think they wire was loose so it would try arching to the connecter.

Is the plug on the cluster loose any? Mine had a very small wiggle to it but was enough to not let half my lights work, I just soldered the plug back to the board and haven't had a problem since. Just a suggestion if it does it again.

its not the plug on the cluster but the plug on the harness that did the same thing.


needless to say scotty was confused as hell, and said if it happens again to let him know asap.

he was willing to whatever it took to make sure it wasnt his fault. great guy to deal with.

 

[Khaos]

Thanks for jinxing me fgt, one of my signal leds in the cluster stopped working today :crazy:

Glad ya got it fixed though

 

[Ginger]

thats not a LED and that one worked on mine no issues.

thats on a serparate part of the board.

 

[Khaos]

Oh.

Well, I switched it to an led and it doesn't work now.

So.

Still your fault :crazy:
