I have led's installed in the C pillars, footwells, roof light, front door courtesy and puddle lights.
All work as they should except the drivers door courtesy and puddle lights, which flicker constantly when the door is closed (or if the door button is depressed by hand).
Not just a dim light, but a medium strength constant flicker.
This does not occur when the normal bulb is fitted.
Visited Jaycar yesterday and the young chap there suggested a 1 ohm resistor on the positive wire. Tried it tonight - no change.
I even tried swapping the door switches from left to right - no change.
Has any one out there had this issue?
Is a resistor the right way to rectify this?
Do I need a resistor with more than 1 ohm's resistance?
Any help would be appreciated.
