So on my Sierra, I have the circle 7-pin hookup. I have an adapter for the flat4 pin connector. This is the same one I was also using on my trailblazer with no issue. It has 3led lights on it that illuminate to show the circuit is working (one for brake, one left, one right)
I plugged in a trailer (8x16 open landscaping) and was having an issue with the brakes/blinkers not operating properly. I chalked it up to crappy wiring on the old trailer so just dealt with it. It gave me hyperflash when I turned on the right turn signal and would not illuminate the trailer's left brake light. Once the light were on at night, no brake lights but the blinkers worked. There are no modifications to my lights anywhere at this point other than HIDs in my lows and fogs.
I recently received my ANZO led taillights, which came pre-wired with load resistor boxes for each light, eliminating any hyperflash situations. I now have LED parking lights, which caused hyper flash. With these new tailights in, the flash rate doesnt change. Once I took out the LEDs in the front, I have a normal flash rate again. I am now operating with no LEDs.
Yesterday, I went to install my new 60" led tailgate bar, also from ANZO (package deal). The bar lights up and illuminates properly for the brake and running light. However, while the parking/headlights are off, all functions operate properly. When the lights are on, the blinker gives one blink then freezes - causing my tailllights on that side to show no blink, mirror turn signal stays illuminated and tailgate bar is off (for that side). This is true for right, left and 4ways. I had this same pin converter on my TB, which also was plugged into a rear tailgate bar, but I was also running switchbacks with no issues. When the converter is plugged into the trailer plug with no LED bar installed, all 3 led lights illuminate properly with their respective function. When the bar is plugged in, if a blinker function is chosen that led goes out and the bar does not function.
I checked all fuses and everything is good. Any input would be appreciated. Not sure if it is as simple as the connector or if there is a bigger underlying issue here.
