Hyper flash- ep27 fix?
My blinkers are doing the hyper flash and I purchased a Novita EP27. I have been searching and researching all morning trying to find where to install it at and can't find it anywhere! I've seen a few people say that it's under the steering wheel column, but all those people have F-150's older than the 2010 model. Is it located somewhere else for the 2010 model? I have searched and searched, tried turning on my hazards and feeling around for a a box clicking, looked all under the steering wheel column and can't find it anywhere! It's driving me crazy, meanwhile I'm reading everyones reviews about how easy it is to find and install it, starting to make me feel like an idiot! I dont know if the previous owner had moved it somewhere completely different (there were wires everywhere and moved around down there when I installed a cd player when I first bought the truck) or if I'm seriously that blind when trying to look for it. any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm hoping that the turn signal flasher for the 2010 is just located somewhere else under the dash that I haven't looked yet? My truck is a 2010 XLT supercrew if that helps

There is no serviceable flasher. The bulb flash time (80 per minute) is controlled by the BCM. When it detects a bulb out (or a low resistance LED) it flashes 160 times a minute. The sound you hear is created by the cluster to mimic the sound of a conventional flasher. If you search the forum, or someone may chime in, there are resistors you can get to add to the turn signal circuits to slow down the flashing.
Found this in another thread. Your best bet are load resistors wired into the harnesses.

I don't think you have a flasher, per se. IIRC, the only "flasher" is in one of those magic boxes, called a "smart box". An electronic thingy beyond the understanding of us older guys.
So, ya, load resistors are what you need. I've wanted to replace all my exterior lights with LEDs, and yes, I'm completely competent with soldering, but just think it's not worth the time, effort, or the looks of a resistor tacked on. Just my opinion, many have done it, and are happy with the results.

You don't need resistors. Took mine to the stealership and had them change the setting in the BCM to turn off the hyper flash warning. Didn't charge me a thing. There's a tech bulletin for f250s for the same thing that a buddy of mine showed me.

Any link to the TSB?

I wouldnt normally call them that. Just a reference most on here seem to recognize. Although, I've had my share of issues with other dealerships. So far I've had no issues with my current one. As far as the TSB, I'll have to wait until I get home to find the ref number.
