Having problem with Roxiom Switchback Turn Signal Conversion Kit from AM
Today I installed Roxiom Switchback Turn Signal Conversion Kit w/ Resistors from AM. When I turned the turn signals on after I had installed them, the blinks increased speed (about 4 times per second) and the tail lights blink so fast that they are not sequential any more... All lights were working, but blink speed became faster than usual.*
Can anybody give me advice for fixing fast blinking?
I'm also using Raxiom*chrome projector headlights, CCFL Halo from AM.*

First thing I'd check is the connectors. Just looked at the kit photos, and those wire tap style connectors are kind of crap in general, and really poor for something like this that will be exposed to the elements.

You need an electronic flasher rather than a mechanical one, needs to be either rated heavy duty or LED compatible. That will cure the fast flash. Do your Halos not work either? If not, then you need to splice the wiring in, those insulation displacement connectors SUCK and should NEVER be used on a vehicle, if they were any good ford would use them...and they dont.
Fyi, the flasher unit will take the place of those resistors so you wont need to use them at all. My new edge has all LED's liscense plate, tail/brake, reverse, front/rear turn signals and all I needed was the flasher I ordered online from superbrightleds.com.

The '05+ don't have a mechanical flasher. It's controlled electronically through the Smart Junction Box. The fast flash he's seeing indicates the SJB isn't seeing the load correctly on the bulb(s) in question and is indicating a bulb out.

Thanks Torch_Vert and stevednmc. So I don't have I put flasher because there is SJB? I didn't Cut the cables and I just clipped by using clips that came with the kit. The instruction says I have to clip resistors between + and - and I already did it...

That should work the way you say you have it wired. Maybe call AM and see if they have any advice?

I installed the led's and supplied resistors. The issue I am having is different. Mine work great when they work. However, they sometimes don't work at all. No light output at all. I lock / unlock the car several times, turn on just parking lights and, then they, start working. It wouldn't be a huge deal, but when they don't work, my turn signals don't work, either. Only the fronts though. The backs work normally. Help! I don't understand what's going on...
