Lamp Out Indicator staying on
Lamp Out Indicator staying on
Hey!
I changed my quarter lights (DRL) on my crossfire to LED's and when I turned on the lights everything worked fine.
Only issue is my Lamp Out warning symbol is on and I can't figure out why or how to turn it off.
I checked all the lights in and outside of the vehicle and even had somebody watch my tail as I backed up -- no problems there.
I also unplugged the battery to see if that would mend the situation -- it did not.
I was wondering if there was some way to reset it or something like the ABS or FSS reset.
Any info/link on this topic is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: Lamp Out Indicator staying on
It's due to the LEDs, because they have a much smaller draw current wise compared to your halogens. They operate on lower resistance values, so the CAN BUS system was triggered. It will stay lit until you either put the halogen bulbs back in, or until you attach resistors to each side in order to correct for the drop in resistance.
Attaching resistors then nullifies any benefit of drawing less power with LEDs compared to halogens.
