LED swap problems
Hey guys. Recently did a full led swap outside and inside except for the dome lights. I had put an electronic flasher so the blinkers didn't hyperblink. It all worked fine except the turn indicators stayed on. No biggie. Then the odometer and overhead console screen started to blink with the blinkers. Then once I hit the breaks the dash and shifter lights blink. Also every single outside light blinks with the signals as well. But once I turn the lights on everything is normal. What is going on???

Its a grounding issue, had that with mine when I re-did all my lights with LED's. I simply just cleaned up he grounds all over the vehicle and it stopped.

As in grounds for the wiring harness for the lights. I actually ended up putting in a bunch of grounds for the lighting so the polarity doesn't cause the lights to light up when they aren't suppose to. A guy on here back in like 2012 did this with his because he was having similar to what you were having. He ended up going a little further by grounding every light to the chassis and it resolve the issue. I myself tho plan to re-wire the whole entire jeep by a buddy that's a professional and have a wiring harness that should have been in there and not what Chrysler thought was good. Basically put all jeep XJ's are not so lucky to be running LED's without a little bit of weird end results unless grounded and wired properly.
