The background first...

I did a fender chop on my Sport S non max tow. I figured I could make the bracket and add an LED light at a much cheaper cost. I was not wrong. All said and done it cost me about $65 and some time. At least that is what I thought.

I bought the Jscan and both needed adapters. I changed the front turn lamps and front marker lights to LED in Jscan. The LED strip i bought has amber and white lights. It has 3 wires. A ground, an amber power, and a white light power wire.

I initially hooked up the amber to both wires from the wiring harness. I then connected the marker to the amber wire and the turn signal to the white wire. With both of these connections the blinker would not work if the headlights and amber side marker was on. If I turned the headlights off the blinker worked fine.

Is this a Jscan issue or a LED issue. I can't see how it would be the LED as if both receive power both should be on but maybe it is the LED strip. I just need some 2nd, 3rd, and more opinions on this.

Sounds like either a wiring issue or a blinker issue. Take it off led in JScan and see if it shows a message or hyperflashes but still blinks when it's supposed to. If it does then it's JScan if not then it's a blinker/wiring issue. I don't see how it could be a JScan issue honestly.

After checking the Jscan app I had the settings correct there. The LED I have will not do what I want. Once I changed the wiring it is performing as it should.

The LED strip has yellow sequential and white lights. I used orange tape to cover it to make both lights orange. So when the headlights are one it is solid orange and the sequential turn signals.
