Turn signal hyperflash disable (FOUND)

[CA$H]

Sadly, new trucks don't have relays for the flashers, they use the bcm to do it

Gotcha!!

Because i can and i want to!?

Why do you want to blind other drivers with your flashers? I understand upgrading the backup bulbs, but the indicator lights don't need to be bright. They are only for other drivers to see your intent.

The whole point removing hyperflash is so i don't have to add resistors or buy canbus bulbs

You can't have your cake and eat it too

Spend the money on Lasfit. They make quality stuff and you don't need to mess with wiring.

I agree. As much as I love the DIY spirit, there are times when it's a wiser move to spend the money on a finished product that does what you need.

If it's just a matter of a Forscan setting then it doesn't cost any more and solves some of the limitations of even the Lasfits (like they still hyperflash once they get hot after prolonged use).

The FORScan method involved losing bulb outage detection, which is after all the reason that signals were intended to hyper-flash for.

Since the turn signal bulb on a Maverick is also your brake bulb, losing them could subject you to a law enforcement encounter, something that I prefer to avoid at all costs.

That presumes the load resistor integrated in the Lasfits doesn't prevent outage detection from working if the LEDs should fail.

That's moving the goalpost. The FORScan method involves outright disabling the detection of turn/brake bulbs that are out, so we know that it will not work.

My lasfits still hyperflash. So, there's that.

I agree, worth every penny

Almost everyone i speak to that have installed lasfit still or will have hyperblink and they also prevent hyperblink detection because of the integrated resistor... so point here being, the forscan methode is cheaper and works 100% of the time IF the option is available for the maverick

So i had a bit of spare time tonight and i found what i was looking for on forscan!

 

[Darnon]

Out of curiosity did you try the Front LED Turn Outage setting as well?

Seems pointless if you can simply add a resistor. Resistors are cheap.
