Hyper Flash after Turn Signal Recall

[Chris_G]

Just going to note that talks with Lasfit have said the New T3 bulbs may also have hyperflash issues with the Lariat trim.

On mine the light blink speed is normal, but the dash indicator is hyper flashing.

Yes mine just in dealership update software recall today 2/12/2024,With Lasfit LED update bulbs outside normal but hyper flash on indicator dash ,so may be I get Forscan disabled the turn signal Bulbs outage may be it working back normal kekeke

Same with my truck they did the update now I get the hyper flash on the dash only, anyone have the link for the new error free read lights ? I want LEDs in the back because all these idiots around me like to tailgate even when I'm doing like 10 over lol

Lasfit is your friend

I contacted Lasfit and they are sending me two sets when they come in stock, I’m wondering if I install them before the update if that will cause any issues? My issue with the Lasfit bulbs is last month my passenger side went out BOTH bulbs at the same time, last week the driver side BOTH bulbs again go out at the same time! Ive never had led bulbs burn out so quick and simultaneousl, I wonder if this update will help with that.

I seriously don't understand all this extra grief so many are giving themselves. The OEM bulbs meet all safety standards, are quite bright enough on their own.

And fyi the "old school" cars used relays for the blinkers- and were power based. If a bulb was burnt out, the power used was less, so the relay went faster. Modern cars are all computer instead of hardware- the 'hyper flash' is supposed to be simulated in the dash for the driver to know a blinker is out-

But using LEDs uses less power so the computer is still flashing the light but telling the dash to flash faster (after the recall).

I legit wonder what kind of resister would need to be added to the lights to make them work properly. I mean this shouldn't be hard to do at all.

I bought a similar version to these for my Honda Civic when I had hyperflashing. They're plug and play so no splicing wires. Worked great for about 4-5 years until I got my mav

So my son and I both installed LASFIT LED bulb packages in our Mavericks, (his 2022 EB AWD XLT Lux, mine 2023 Hybrid XLT Lux). He had his serpentine belt replaced under warranty, and they did the Turn Signal update, now he has Hyper-Flash. Anyone else experience this?

Same issue for me. Have only had my bulbs for about 4 months. If the bulbs were designed properly, they would have not triggered a dashboard hyper flash from only a software update. I have sent lasfit an email. Been a couple days and no response. Kind of bogus considering the cost. We will see if there is an outcome.

Just had my update today...same issue. Funny that the hazard light does not cause the hyperflash. The bulbs blink at the same rate but the inside blink is fast and loud. I have the gen3 lasfit bulbs that worked fine before the recall update

Everybody has issues with hyper-flash after recall repair . Relax and chill , I have the answer .
DON'T SIGNAL

Fucking hell. Just had my 10k service done and now I have the same problem with my Lasfit bulbs. I knew I should have just done the oil change myself. Plus I have to go back to the dealer because they didn’t rotate my tires. I’m holding the survey over the guys head so it better not take forever on Monday.

I remember posts where if some (maybe lasfit's) were left on for awhile the resistors would heat up and loose enough resistance to make maverick think bulb was burned out. (The resistors are there to make the led draw the same as the standard bulbs). Also in some thread(s) someone posted that there is a "bulb type" setting that can be changed with for scan (I have no proof if that's true).

I’ve experienced that and this is not that. Once the resistor cools back down the blinker signal goes back to normal.

Can anyone else who has LEDs in and had the recall done confirm this?....the truck indicates to the driver that there is a bulb out, but the actual signals flash like normal? the... "Here is the real "kicker to this whole situation. The turn signals indicators on the dash hyper blink, but NOT the actual turn signals!"

If that is the case, to me at least, I could put up with the hyperflash ticking in the truck, if the signals to everyone else is still normal pace. I would not be able to stand the hyperflashing lights to everyone else because whenever I see a driver with it (without LEDs), I assume they have no idea why its flashing quick and have no idea about how to maintain their vehicle. The ones with LEDs I assume just had no idea about canbus or load resistors and figured just put an LED in and itll work.

I am also waiting to see those who are more experienced with Forscan to see where the setting would be to remove the bulb out notification (assuming the bulbs still flash the same pace and not hyperflash). Or if there are other options in Forscan to fix this issue.

But there may be an option to tell the truck there are LED signals in...such as this post about the 2020-21 transit forums I came across.

Either way, if more people can confirm that after the turn signal recall with LEDs, if the truck actually hyperflashes the lights or just a driver indicator inside hyperflashing, along with if someone more experienced with Forscan can look into this issue more, would be great!!

My Lasfit lights still blink normal. Only issue is hyper flash in the dash.

The problem with leaving it like that is not knowing if the hyper flash is indicating a problem or not indicating a problem.
