no, haven't blown any LED in various configuration I've tried ... a few brain cells ....

the question is can the hella and Amazon alikes be used with functional LED without the relay ? I have no resistors on shelf ...maybe next week. Does a resistor supply the drop as a substitute for the load ? ohmage ?

I'm waiting on a FEDEX part to continue.

the issue is on side track

the other questions are on hold for more research time as I'm not avoiding
you.


A or B but not C ..... and no, I haven't connected led to load to grnd in series. I lit ank added LED for connection to power not grnd. All the successful connections here go directly to grnd thru the relay. Not thru load. I had thought. without theory, that this was connected to the total Ford system activating power to grnd. try separating application and demo in the same circuit ....

an excellent question. I needed 20 steps up from the keyboard when your question became obvious.

I give out Bcae's address to 'mechanics' like myself n they have results.


Which switch do you have? Is the LED INSIDE the switch?

the rockers I use are 3 pins as in Bcae's link above.

here is the gamut

the Chinese have road tested fat tired glass packed Ford pickups ...

All E has new stock .....stating with 'built in resistors for 12Vdc .....

why resistors ?
