Help Can't Fix It
 
So I tried to do the flasher changer but I think I screwed up. I currently have 7 flashes now vs the 3 I wanted 5 and can't seem to get it to go to 5 from the 7, someone please help. I have it set to two and I do all the steps but it won't change.

Have you checked your blinker fluid level? Sounds like it's low.

Oh yea I forgot to mention in my last post the fluid has to be topped off first lol. Remember, a quick swig of something is almost necessary to do this correctly. ;)

Let's try to break it down.
Start with the car off and the wiper interval barrel at the second notch form the top.
The wiper stalk has five notches. Hold it in the first notch at the top
Put the car in on mode while holding the wiper in the 1st position (but don't start it) and hold it for 5 secs
then move it to the 2nd from the top, hold for 5 secs
now back to the 1st for 5 secs
now to the 2nd for 5 secs
then to the 3rd (the natural resting place for the stalk)
at that point the right indicator will blink
now move the wiper barrel to the 3rd position from the top for 5 blinks
to confirm, press the left lane change indicator (not left turn)
that should do it. :thumbup:

Wiper barrel or turn indicator on the left side.

The wiper barrel. You don't use the indicator barrel for this procedure at all.

the dealer can do it in seconds... but DIY is better... sometimes. on another note... the LS allows you to set the blinker clics from the nav screen:D:D, just thought i'd throw that in there in case you were thinking of obtaining an LS.:D

Oh rub it in why don't you. :p

you have to make sure to adjust the barrel on the right side.
for 5 it has to be the one level below the highest sensitivity for the automatic wipers.

Yeah right I brought to my dealership today to see what they could do they came back and said this can't be done because my car doesn't have the dimmer neutral switch for fogs. WHAT!:uh: they lost my attention after that. The tech was honest he said we haven't had any customers come in for this I'm the first. I said well apparently I'm the last since they still don't know how to do it.:D

I did mine about a year ago (five blinks). It worked after three or four tries. The three blink default makes little sense to me, but to each his or her own. That raises an interesting question. What percentage of GS350 owners/divers are female? I do know that a lady driving a red 2011 GS ran a traffic light and almost hit me when I was on my bike a few weeks ago.

I'm in South Florida and I've seen an even amount of lady drivers as males. I almost want to say I see more ladies.
