Problem with 3/4" switchbacks

Hey guys, Ok had my switchbacks in for a week.

Running into a slight problem wanting to see if any of you guys have this problem.

During the Daytimes I don't have the driving lights on (may be needed info to determine problem).

When I go to lock/unlock the car, the passenger side switchback flashes fine, but the passenger side does not.

When I turn my left turn signal on after turning on the car, the switchback does not blink orange.

But when I turn my driving lights on so the white is on, the switchback flashes normally. Even after I turn off the driving lights with the car still running the switchback flashes orange/off/orange/....

Problem is the Passenger side turn signal does not have this problem.

Anybody having this sort of dilemma with them. Any solutions?

I have switchbacks as well, and from your description of the problem, this problem either must lie in the controller board or switch that controls running lights/signals. Because electrically its not possible for the LED bulbs to have been wired wrong and still function partially under some circumstances as you have explained. I believe you, and its probably not your fault- its somewhere else in the cars electrical system.
