Default Flasher relay compatible for led turn signal

Does anybody know where can I find the flasher relay on my 2016 2.7 Lariat, also has anybody been able to correct hyperflashing due to led bulb on front signal? PLEASE HELP!

You would likely use resistors instead of a flasher.

Have you looked at the Forscan thread? They were changing values to get LED lights to work, might be something there that would do it via telling truck you now have them..

Check out this post - I was able to get it to work on my '16 XLT using Forscan.

Is there a way to change it via IDS? I have looked at the menus, and can't figure out which one it is

Also is there any risk on changing things thru Forscan? any recomendation on which adapter to use (ELM327)??

And how much $ did you invested to get this done?

Not sure if the plug is the same or not but on my 04, I added LED switchbacks and had the hyperflash turn signals. Used an EP27 flasher and it fixed the issue. I really didn't want to have to go the adding a resistor route. Good luck, let us know what you end up doing.

Apparently the new models do not have a flasher, it is done thru the actual computer software of the truck I am going to check with dealer and see what they say. =(
