As many of you know I just got the new kit for my car. Two weeks before this I installed my sonars tails. The sonars set off the Light warning which I'm going to take care of by removing the bulb. I had my kit put on and just told the body shop to keep the side markers off.

Now I noticed that when I use my turn signal, the sound is much faster. Any fix for this? I'm sure it's not the sonars that's making the signal 'click' faster.

 

One of the turn signal bulbs is either missing,or it isn wired right.

 

don't know for sure but it could possibly be because of the LED tails, i noticed in my previous car that when switching some bulbs for leds, it affected the turn signal speed.

 

Hm.. yeah because I would of noticed the turn signal speed two weeks before if it was the tails.. maybe not.

 

Question... are you using LED bulb for your turn signals? If so, then you will need a resistor per bulb to put load on the circuit.

LED replacing filament bulbs are not enough load on the line, thus the car thinks the bulb is out by flashing faster then normal.

 

If its not the tails, jsut check for connection. i forgot to plug in my cables for the headlight turn signals and i got quick flashing. When i wired the turn signal wires wrong in my truck i got the same thing.

 

woah. DING DING DING. I did change my turn signal bulb to LED.

How do I go about putting the resistor on the circuit?..

 

since you are an 02, u can get a new turn signal relay. only this is that you lose the flash when you lock/unlock the car. i think its a good trade off to not have to run resistors. search for the thread i recently started about this. it will answer all your questions actually, new relay AND resistor questions. just search by topics started by me.

 

thanks excluesive if I can't do it maybe you could help me out in carlisle

 

yeah its a pain in the ***. As a matter of fact, you should PM RMMGS4 to see if he ended up using the relay. If he hasn't, he can probably sell you his. He tried it for a minute, it didn't work, so he swapped it back out. If you go the resistor way, I really can't be of too much help, LOL. Either way, I'd order it soon so it gets here in time, or so you can give it a shot, that hyperflash is really friggin annoying.

It ultimately shouldn't take more that 2 or 3 minutes to replace the relay

 

I was getting confused about the first 5 pages of the thread because some says it didn't work. But good thing it works on ours. I'll go with the relay. Um can you give me a link?

 

If you do not mind, try putting in your original bulb to be absolutely certain the problem is from the LED bulb...

takes about 2 weeks since it ships from Hong Kong

 

if he threw an LED in a rear turn signal, it's definitely the reason

 

Thanks man. Since it's still $15 I might just get it from Vleds.
