Use FORScan to disable front and rear bulb outage in the BdyCM and then the dash indicators will blink normal.

I placed LEDs in my rear brake/blinkers, 3rd brake light back-up lights and cargo area bulbs. I also soldered in resistors (between outside wires) with no change in hyper-blink issue. I'd like to locate a diagram identifying where the blinker relay is under the dash of a 2014 F150. I don't have a fleet ID number, so I can't log into Ford's fleet website. I know there's Novita and other relay manufacturers out there, but before I buy, I need to see the original relay. If I can find a good electronic flasher that's set up for my truck, I'll clip out those resistors in a heartbeat. Thoughts?

My thoughts are that there is no relay. Or maybe there is, as this is the 2015+ forum. You would likely get a better answer in the proper forum.

There is no conventional flasher/relay.

I was hoping there was a quick fix part. But from what I've been reading, the solution is to edit the vehicle's BCM with FORScan.

Does anyone have any specifics they could provide regarding this process? I'm fairly certain a department at my work is capable of performing this for me but I would like to sound somewhat intelligent about what needs to be done before asking.

This is for my 2016 F150 XLT Sport.

I did mine in Forscan, and it works great. I used this link to get acclimated to using, and made changes! Youll love it, take the time to figure it out (BACK UP YOUR STOCK FILES) Youll need an adapter - I purchased this one

To add to the above post, go to this thread: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/forsc...-truck-348987/

The very first post will tell you what you need to know to do this. You will find the tutorial mentioned above and a spread sheet with many other changes and modifications you can do on your trucks modules. Your co-worker would need this software and adapter to do it. It's not anything that a tech at the dealer will do.

This was precisely what I was looking for, thank you both for the assistance.
