Re: Dash lights flicker

I’ve been meaning to get back to you guys on this but got delayed by my daily driver 4runner losing oil pressure. Grrrrr. Was driving the ol reliable 72 gmc every day!

Any way I pulled one of the LEDs from the instrument cluster and put in an incandescent. The other LEDs still flicker but the incandescent doesn’t. I also tried an old school analog (needle gage) voltmeter and it held rock steady. So.... I blame it on the cheap Amazon LEDs. So I bought some others from SuperBright LEDs hopefully better quality. Haven’t tried them yet. I’ll let you know how they work out. It make take a while to know for sure as the cheap ones lasted almost a year.
