Ok I'm sure this has been asked but i can find it. So i come asking for help finding the post or just an answer. I replaced the stock filament bulbs with LED ones and now the back turn signals stay on (solid) and the dash light stays on constant. The right rear stay out except for the turn signal. Can someone help me out, thanks in advance.

Strange!!!
Very strange circumstances here...
LEDs usually only cause rapid flash when replacing incandescent bulbs without the proper modifications...
BUT you have a UNIQUE situation here, or at least one I`ve not come across yet...
Good Luck,
Dennis

Try this>
I`d reinstall the incandescent bulbs to see IF the LEDs are causing the problem....

Also just in case you're not aware the rear turnsignal bulbs are different than the front

Just a thought...
I`ve unboxed brand new TVs and they not work, you MAY have a faulty bulb...
You being at Ft Benning, I`m less than an hour away IF you would like to learn some of these Dogwood Trails around here...
Thank You for serving our country...

Yeah, you're back-feeding through the dash light. You need some resistors or diodes to make the new lamps work correctly. Definitely replace with the standard bulbs until you do some additional research and decide how you want to handle the rest of the wiring. There are lots of write-ups on here and other forums about LED signals.

ok so i have an LED relay that i replaced the standard one with and i still have the problem i will post a picture. with that being done would i still need resistor/ diode? And im not tracking the feed back though the dash problem could some one link me to that problem or explain it. Would i need a resistor for each bulb?

Thank you guys again.
