Default My new stalk turn signal doesn't work.

I replaced stock turn signals with this stalk turn signal.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

It doesn't work while stock one works fine.
All the wires were mated correct and it won't blink while stock ones do fine.
What could be wrong?

Those are LED.

You need a resistor or something I believe.

From their ad:


To correct a fast flash rate that occurs when stock turn signals are replaced with any LED signal you may need a Flash Rate Controller. Please see our other auction for Flash Rate Controllers.

try switching the poles on the new turn signals and see if it works. The resistor will correct the rate at which they flash, but not make them flash in the first place. With my aftermarket ones the left one blinks super slow, and the right one really fast in which a resistor would fix it to flash at the normal rate but i could care less about that lol

just integrate your stock ones...cut a lil hole in the top of the brake light casing on both sides and run the bulb up there...u can use the screws that hold the stock turn signal casing to attach em...then just cut a slit down the middle of the brake light housing to separate the sides with a piece of plastic...looks way cleaner...n it's free... I did it this past weekend...that and the rear pegs removed cleans the rear up pretty well...gl...

the lil silver parts are the bulbs in the holes I cut...and you can see the plastic square I used to separate the housing...just a thought...

z28, that looks sweet.
Wish I did that before buying this.
Tried switching polarity and it didn't work.
Interestingly, the light came on without blinking when I plugged + wire to a brown wire from the harness which I didn't know what it was for. Will have to get the Flash Rate Controller. Thanks Sand. Man!
