I just recently purchased a new 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 Texas Edition. The truck came with the standard halogen brake lights. I purchased some new LED OEM taillights and thought it would be plug and play but quickly realized that’s not the case. The lights will illuminate but when I turn on the signal it flashes normal for about five seconds and then starts flashing rapidly. The dash screen also reads that there is an issue with turn signal. How can this be fixed? Thanks!!

They usually would have to install resistors to stop that

I put LED taillights on as well (With pre installed resistors on them) all lights work fine as well, but when I use the turn signal the same thing happens. If you fixxed this issue how did you do it. I have explored the internet for months on this issue and cannot find a fix!

Bro! I’ve been trying to crack the nut on this for a week... I thought you may be my savior. Same thing... 2020 Chevy with new LEDs... hyper flashing with the warning. Hopefully we figure this out.

2020 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Diesel . Had a cracked left rear tail light Lense. Filled with water after so long.

One day noticed tail light was out. Turn signal is hyperflashing. Removed tail light assembly unplugged it Drained water, tail light working but dim. ( These are the factory LED P.O.S.'s) One plug terminal on the back with one bulb which is the backup light. Turn signal still hyper flashing. Replaced tail light assembly and blinker still Hyper flashing 

Now what?  Disconnect batts and try and rebot system?

 

BTW, watch out when purcahsing these tail light,  advertising will tell you LED ,  however, when you receive it, its ythe halogen bulbs type. 

 

What a F.N.M 

 

Please advise 

 

Thanks Dave

You stated that you replaced the taillight assembly. Was the taillight assy. O.E.M. or purchased from amazon or ebay?

I heard from someone that the 19 and up trucks that have LED's have a heavy duty trailer flasher installed and for some reason the resistors do not work.

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
