Post subject:  LED Door Buttons

Since I got my car my passenger door LED blinks happily when the alarm is on. I have another LED in the centre console which comes on constant. Drivers one did nothing. Picked up a new unit today and fitted it and now my drivers one comes on constant yet the passenger one still flashes!

Can any of you knowledgeable chaps explain this?

Thanks

Stuart

OK, problem solved. There are two different units. My original units have little circuit boards in them which control the "flash". The new unit I picked up had straight through wires and no circuit board despite the part being identical from the outside. So there are either cars with solid LED door buttons or the circuitry for the flash is located somewhere else in those cars.

At least I understand now! I will either adapt the new unit to flash or try to pick one up with the circuit in it.

Scam75.

If you want an easy fix, Maplin's sell flashing LEDs.

All you have to do is wire them up.
