Have changed the 4 clearance lights and 2 front marker lights to led. But when i turn lights on they blink when the indicators come on.the caravan (coromal) has upto 5 wires in one light minimum 3.
Should i have chain hooked up or on ground to earth, and what is making the lights blink as i havent (knowingly) touched the indicator wires.As they say a little bit of knowledge is dangerousd

Sorry I cant help you with your problem, as I am an electrical neanderthal.
However, I have a Coromal Seka 525 and am very concerned about the brightness of the turning lights - they are virtually invisible in sunlight and came close to causing a very serious accident on our first trip.
When you have solved your problem, I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to change my indicator lights to effective leds -especially if it can be done using the existing van light covers.

Hi Dalb
I have a Coromal Princeton and in the rear lights there is provision for reversing lights on each side.
I have re-wired the "reversing lights" that were not connected anyway so that I now have two turning lights on each side. The only thing I had to do was buy a couple of
orange globes.
Works for me.
Regards
TJ

This may sound OT but what is your tow vehicle. If it is European then you have done nothing wrong but the vehicles computer is sending out a pulse a bit like a marine echo sounder. The computer is sending a
check signal to
check all lights, globes are not sensitive enough to pick this up as they have sufficient resistance not to illuminate.
If this is the case message me and I'll point you in the right direction to overcome problem. Alternately the earth issue is a likely contender.
