my squentials have a seriuos problem with the a/c on.
my sister followed me out of wendy's today and called me to let me knwo that:
first; my brake lights are dim hard to see and she co8ld onyl see my "center" third light
(i got a ticket about 2 weeks ago for dim brake laight, but i had added a LED third brake light behind my window tint, reason i got the ticket, but he said my tialights were dim too)but i now have two third lights, well thrid and now a foruth. plus the tialights
second; that onyl two lights were lighting up on my turnsignals
when i got home i went to check this out, put a peice of wood between seat and brake pedal to hold brake lights on and noticed they are dim,
1. what can i do about this?
2. is there a brighter buld i can put in , possible LED bulb so its brighter?
next thign i noticed
i put on one side of my squentials, yep only two are lighting up. so i turn off my a/c, three light up , perfect too. so im like great, a/c on only two,
so i put back on my a/c and tinker with the settings, it gets better .......but......... after a few minutes i hear a niosy fan , liek a second one, so assuming my high speed fan kicked on, i pop the hood, yep, its on now also.
walk back to the back of the car......................... AHHHhhhHHHhhhHHHhhh!.........................................
only one turn signal is lit!!!!!
grrrrrrr...............
so thinking, hmm maybe if bump the idle up il be fine, so i rev it to 2500 rpm using a penny between the throttle set screw and the linkage, walk to the back of the car, no real differnce,two are lit, but this sucks. so what the heck do i do?
the more accesories i have on the less these lights work, i love having my a/c on, but this is a safty hazard and i dont liek getting pulled over. i just got the squential box replace cuz my other one wouldnt light up the third bulb on one side no matter what i did.
if i run relays with source power my trunk battery(for amps), think this woudl help?.
low current fans? what to do?
this is so upesting, im so confused and now frustrated on all of this, i love the squnetials and the a/c, what do i sacrafice? i haven't even turned on my headligths to see what it does with all of this, i have al silverstar lights up front and the pul a lil more current then standard.
UGH!
so a/c or squentials?
