Not worthy of Thread but anyone ever have an issue with a clicking coming from under the dash after turn signals go off? I have all LED's and an EP27 flasher relay, but I think it might be going bad... turn signals all work and brake lights but it's Almost like it has residual power going through it after they go off.... don't think it's the pins in the column for the multifunction switch since everything works... only did it for a few mins yesterday hasn't come back. Stumped!!!

Here are a couple pics of that interior. Notice the "EDGE" tuner on the dash...... pretty nice interior - wish it was a direct swap into a 10th gen, lol.


You should of went in with him on that deal white, maybe you still can ? Share that profit, there's enough mad money in that deal to share, with little effort.

Sounds like the contacts/relay are sticking inside the flasher relay. Is it the same sound that you hear when the turn signals are on, but only for a short time? There is always power at the relay, but it doesn't complete the circuit until you switch on the turn signals, at which time the relay gets power to close the contacts allowing the flasher to open and close. At least that's how most of them work, I have never opened one up on these trucks to verify if that is how they function.

On the trailer mobile, I have an old style mechanical one from the RV days. It was great for moving around pop turds and small pull trailers under 20'. We used a Honda-powered unit for the bigger units.

The front hitch is for my boat and some of the lakes I go to are a biatch to move around in. Using the front hitch would make that so much easier to get in and out of. I could also make a slide in mount with a small plow on it with my spare 4 wheeler winch. I could use it for my driveway and a couple neighbors. We made one up before for our RV lot. After a few modifications, it worked great. Luckily I built the old one, so I know how to make the mount and holder for the winch. It was a cool little idea that cost us about 150 total, and we used it for 3 winters.

Yessir it's 100% the same click that you hear with the signals, so I think the relay is going bad. If that's possible. Got it from SuperbrightLeds before I found out their products are sub-par at best.
