Hello Gentlemen,
I paid off my 2013 Escalade ESV Premium back in the middle of March. To celebrate, I purchased new aftermarket headlight assemblies, fog/turn signal assemblies, and LED tail light assemblies throuigh 1A Auto.
About a month ago, I noticed the turn signals(as viewed from inside the cabin) would start to flash too fast when the ambient temp outside was relatively warm. IE in the sunny afternoons versus the chilly mornings. This happens on both sides of the vehicle.
I have verified that the front and rear turn signals are flashing too fast when this happens.
My Escalade had incandescent turn signal bulbs in the front, and factory LED tail lights in the rear. The new aftermarket parts were the same.
To my limited knowledge of people retrofitting LED lights to vehicles, the turn signals flash too fast with the LED's because there isn't the resistance of the filaments of the incandescent bulbs. However, since my Escalade had LED's factory in the back, this should not be an issue.
I am suspecting whatever is wrong has to do with the tail lights. I can't see the incandescent bulbs in the front being a problem.
Being 2 months out from purchase, I am going to assume I am out of warranty.
Any idea how I should start troubleshooting this issue?
Thanks for your time!
