I have been going through and changing out the incandescent bulbs in my 2006 Ram 3500 (SRW) with LED bulbs over the last month or two. I have run into an issue with changing out the rear turn signal and brake bulbs in the corners. I swapped out the front turn signal bulbs without issue and installed a pair of load equalizers fixing the hyper flash.

When I installed the LED bulbs in the rear however I originally had no running lights (turn signal) but the turn signals worked. I turned the bulbs around and ended up with the reverse, I had running lights but did not have turn signals. I tried installing load equalizers later on with no change.

I removed the LED bulbs and put the incandescent bulbs back and moved the LED bulbs to the brake lights. I end up with the same results in the brake light sockets. One direction I have running lights but no brake lights, and if I turn them around the reverse with no running lights but brake lights work fine.

Is there something I am missing, needing to do in order to get the LED bulbs to work, or is it just not possible? Any help is greatly appreciated.

There are two different wirings for bulbs that can fit back there and I believe the turn signal/parking bulb isn’t a regular 3157. I don’t know if this is the issue it’s just what I thought of. A1FCB5B5-0F71-43D5-AF75-22F56AA6E188.png
