They are basically what you know as the led(Light Emitting Diode). They are made up of a semiconductor device which can emit light. Now before studying the mechanisms of an LED you first should know about a basic PN Junction Diode.
Now the LED emits light when a certain amount of current is passed through it. Now the color varies based on the chemical used in the diode.
The number of blinking per second and the intensity of the lights are controlled by an IC inside a small box attached to the circuit. They could be constructed by normal bulbs but what distinguishes LEDs from bulbs is that the LED has a faster and an efficient switching mechanism, it lasts longer and requires very low energy to emit light.
Blinking red light signifies alertness or danger.
Stop. Treat the blinking red light as a stop sign.
Need to know which light is blinking.
brake light on dash blinking
which light is blinking??need more info
It's not the gasoline light that's blinking, it's the oil light. Which means you need to change/check your oil (obviously)
If your check engine light is blinking that means an ignition misfire has been detected
When the overdrive off light is blinking that means a malfunction has been detected
If the check engine light is blinking that indicates an engine cylinder misfire has been detected
A blinking check engine light means an ignition cylinder misfire has been detected
that light if blinking indicates a problem in your transmission. take it to a shop before it quits altogether
In the manual for my car it says a blinking, yellow check engine light means the catalytic converter is malfunctioning.
