• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

LED Flasher Problem

Am having an odd problem with my LED blinker setup on a 2009 TE510. Installed HDB LED blinkers front and rear - as always, fantastic products from HDB. Of course, they blink fast on the stock flasher. Replaced with the HDB electronic flasher and now the LEDs are constant on (when directional switched on at the the bars) and a bit brighter during the normal flash cycle. So it looks like a surge where they're on, than even brighter for a moment, repeating. Timing of the brighter surge is the correct tempo (not fast). Paul kindly sent me a replacement flasher, same result.

Separation of left and right is fine, but both have the problem (to be clear, when left directional switched on, the left front LED lights contstant, surges brighter on normal flash cycle, right is off as it should be - opposite for right side).

I went back to the stock flasher and they cycle full on, full off, but fast.
Connecting the wires directly (no flasher) results in constant on, normal brightness.
Stock flasher and the replacement are both two wire electronic units.
To try to isolate, I disconnected the rear LEDs. Same result.
FYI have exact same setup on a 2008 TE450 and no issues.
Any thoughts?

Thanks

Thought I'd follow up with my solution in case other's have this problem. I ordered another type of electronic flasher with a built in ground lead from Amazon and it works perfectly (2 Terminal Turn Signal Flasher Switch For LED Lights / 12V / Electronic Switch). No idea why the standard two signal flasher from HDB didn't work on the TE510 but this was a simple fix. The bolt that holds the air box is perfect location for the ground lead.

I use a standard 3 wire from the auto parts store. It only uses one more additional ground, but when it goes out, you can always find them.
