Alright so, recently I've been having some issues with my lights. I have many wiring modifications and splices and after market lights, so that makes this a bit more tricky. My turn signal (switchback LED) on the drivers side has intermittently had some of its LEDs going out briefly/flickering. I'm willing to rule that as cheap eBay lights, but it may be connected. I only notice this when the engine is running. I have led cab lights (these are good LEDs, from SBL) that when I turn them on, are very dim and flicker. When I pull voltage from my battery, I.e. turning on my HIDs or my amp pulling power, they get very dim or even turn off completely.
After I drive for a while, they return to normal. For comparison:
all five act the same, none seem to differ from the other.
I revved up my engine briefly, and it did seem to make some of a difference.
I even noticed one of my LED tag lights flickering briefly (driver side).
I've had a fog light going out (driver side) but I believe that is from a loose HID connection.
Now my initial though was a bad connection for my parking lights. Or maybe a bad ground. I'll start looking into these when I can put it in my basement to get out of the cold. But another thing that could be a possibility is the CTM. Now I've had issues with my CTM before, and there is a TSB that applies to my CTM to replace it. I also noticed one time my interior dinger was off time/going out.
I'm looking for suggestions/opinions on what my problem is. Any help is appreciated
