LED Blinker upgrade

[terizius]

Hi. I'm completely new to the forum and new to LED's and electronics at all save the last week and a half when i decided that i wanted to install some led brake lights/turn signals into the saddlebags of my motorcycle. I looked at automotive stores and online but found nothing that seemed like it would work so i did research on how to make an led array. The internet is a great resource and i've got it all done now but i ran into a problem, not all of the blinkers in my array come on. So you know, its a 2x5 inch board, 96 leds per board. The blinker side of them is 32 yellow leds, arranges in series of 6 then connected in parallel with an 82 ohm resistor (one series is 3 leds with a 220 ohm resistor). When i wire them in with my existing blinkers, only 5 leds total come on, and not in the same series. I know that they all work, because when i connect them to the brake lines, all are on and bright. Any idea why they arent working with the blinker lines and how to fix it?

Please note Rule 7 about double posting and cross posting.

Your explanation about how they are connected is a little unclear. Does each series of six yellow LEDs have its own 82 ohm resistor? Are you trying to power all 32 yellow LEDs on each side from the indicator circuit? Does an electronic or physical relay make any difference?

Edit: Your explanation also doesn't add up. 32 isn't a multiple of 6 plus 3 extras. :shrug:
