Default Hyperblink fix

Just recently bought a set of led switchback turn signals from diode dynamics and ordered prewired resistors to make it plug and play instead of cutting and splicing in. The new bulbs don't fit into the sockets of the prewired resistors so for now I just put them in my headlights without adding any resistors causing them to hyperblink. When I ordered them I saw you can buy a universal ep27 led turn signal module that supposedly fixes the issue without having to splice resistors in. My question is where is the module for the turn signals on our trucks? Has anyone used this method before?

On the newer F150 ('09? -'14)the flash is controlled by the BCM not an "old style" flasher relay. Their website is incorrect.

Go into forscan and turn off the front bulb out warning. Should stop the hyperblink without cutting up your wiring.

Like BenNut said, Forscan is your best option. I used it to turn mine off and no more hyperblinking/flashing. You can also get the dealer to do it using the dealer software but then you're running into the possibility of getting an idiot who has no idea how to do it and you trying to explain it to them.


Edit.... Nevermind on the Ford (IDS) software. Just read RNLCOMP's post about IDS not having that feature.
