Hey everyone, I'm at my wits end and this is usually where I can find my answer when I'm lost. So the situation is I'm rewiring my jeep mainly the ignition switch turn signal control (on the outside of the column) and speedometer. I got rid of the flashers that were in there and all of the spliced wiring that was destroyed by the po. Can someone guide me how to wire the new flashers in. I have power to all of my lights but the hazards don't flash and the turn signals don't flash but do light up. It's an intermediate CJ5
 
have the wiring schematic for the intermediate which is what i have. but the PO kinda messed up the harness. but good news i got the tail lights to work i had to swap in regular tail lights that weren't LED's. so now that i know everything works how do i get the system to work with the lads tail lights. since i only have one flasher now instead of two? and that flasher has three prongs.
 
Sorry for the confusing post. What I've figured out is that I've got all the wiring hooked up and working my problem was that I had led tail lights. Hooked up some 12v ones and they worked perfect. So how do I get the system to work with led ones? And does it matter if my front lights aren't led? I'll post a picture of the flasher I'm using.
 
I attached a picture of the flasher. Two wires come from harness one flasher one flasher lamp. And the other post is from the battery, with an inline fuse.
 
LED turn signals require a solid state flasher. the incandescent flasher works off amp draw that the LEDs don't have.:cool:
