When I did the complete exterior/interior LED swap, I put resistor loads in EVERY single exterior light (front, back, center). However, every time I hit my brakes, the center dashpod would dim. If I turned on my lights, it would get brighter. Mitsu's and LED swaps are a pain in the ass. Nothing ever burned out, just little annoyances. My guess is that there is nothing you can really do without chasing down every wire.
TCL Light
Hey guys,
Just looking to confirm this before I start going wire crazy
I just installed some LED lights on the tail lights as well as in the center brake light on the trunk.
After driving the car a little bit the TCL light came on. Looking through all the FSM stuff I came up with that the "stop lights" function along with the TCL. I just want to confirm this with any of you guys. The LED lights have all the appropriate resistors, but might not be big enough of a load compared to a regular light bulb. Anyway share some light and "do you concur" :lol:
thnx

Doing the ABS test is a little bit to tedious and was hoping someone had experienced this before, kinda hoping the LED lights might have been the problem. I do have resistors plugged on all the LEDs (otherwise the fuses will by going off like fireworks :lol, but might be related to the load in some form. Anyway I'm just pointing at the LED lights since after I installed them I started getting the TCL light on. I literally don't have time to breath these days so any ideas are welcomed, that way I spend less time digging into it.

I did use resistors to match the output current. And yes the cruise control is not working. I'll pull the fluke out and test it all out again, I have just literally had no time at all to do anything. I'll get the code too since I have to
I hate being under the dash is so freaking uncomfortable!!!....Took a second and went out side and check the lights really quick (visual inspection). One of the two sets of LEDs on the center brake light are constantly "ON". So here goes a questions since I literally don't remember, when we turn all the lights "ON" does the Center Brake Light stay "ON" or "OFF"? I think is suppose to be "OFF" until you hit the brake :idunno: If that is the case, hopefully thats the cause of the hole problem.
