Howdy all,
A few nights ago, i took the red bomb for a ride, and noticed something strange......
This year happens to be the first year I've had AC and led turn signal conversion in the winter. Normally, the turn signal and AC work fine (in the summer months).
Recently, I've had to drive with "defrost" mode on, because I left my ice scraper at home like an idiot, and need to have climate control when I'm driving.
To make a long story short, whenever defrost is on, a few things happen:
1. AC compressor cycles on and off fast, not like normal cycling, and it's not intermittent. It continuously fast cycles with no real pattern.
2. When using the turn signals, the indicator seems to flash in sync with the cycling of the compressor.
3. It doesn't show in the video, but my rear window defrost indicator also flashes in sync with the compressor. When it's on, however, it does not flash.
Anybody know why this happens? If I run anything else in the temp control board, it's perfectly fine (as far as I remember). I didn't have this problem in the summer, so I'm just wondering if the AC circuit and my turn signal circuit are crossing somehow? I'm at a loss, but in the mean time I can just run straight heat untill I can figure it out. I'll try to upload the video in a comment later I guess.
