Dan,
Don't give up as it helps Patrick and I gain further understanding. Did you try switching sockets? Perhaps the round sockets can be inserted into the rectangular signal locations.

Phil - yes, I did completely by-pass the ERA sockets and wired in auxilliary 1157 sockets without success.
Went for a a short drive today and noticed my charge light was on. Apparently blew the #4 fuse when I turned on my signals. Tried it again at home and as soon as I hit the signal fuse blows. So - now I do have a turn signal problem to sort out. Back to the wiring diagram and tracing stuff.  |

That's actually good news. Shorts are very easy to trace.  |

Well - where do you suggest I start? Car runs fine until turn signal turned on and then fuse 4 blows. Fast blow fuses at trailer relay are fine.
There is a circuit from the fuse to the flasher unit and red-charging light. Also a lead from the voltage regulator, a lead from fuse 5 and fuse 4 appears to be linked to fuse 3. Haven't checked to sere if it blows when signaling in both directions - running low on fuses.
I'm probably not going to have much chance to mess with it for a couple days.

First, confirm that making both a LEFT turn and a RIGHT turn both blow the fuse. If it does, try removing both of the front bulbs and see if it still shorts. |

Disconnect the front signal lights (yellow/left, green/right) and see whether the fuse still blows.

I'm going to work on it tomorrow. Have a stash of about a dozen fuses on standby. Plan to look under the dash to for any sign of anything that looks pinched or otherwise amiss.

Can you post your wiring diagram so we can review your blog posts and take a stab at it? Thanks

Xack - here is a link to the turn signal, lighting diagram for my car.

I've started a new thread on this as it's not really related to the LEDs.
