I used Siniquezu...He modified the module...Simple, and not expensive at all...Works great!! I keep telling you guys to contact him, and different threads keep popping up on this subject...I am amazed...
I do not know what his charge is now, but I know what I paid, and it was not even the cost of a tank of gas, at $2.50 per gallon...
No dis intended, but this reminds me of the guy(bless his heart) that posted up a thread on how proud he was of himself because he saved himself less than $10.00, if I remember correctly, by buying some cheap plastic, peel and stic plastic tabs form Wal-Mart to be used as spacers for his center console box. I believe I bought all of the rubber bumper stops for the center console lid are less than $4.00. And they are and look factory. Those stick ons he used were absolutely tacky, IMHO.
I am just simply amazed....

I didn't know Siniquezu fixes the fast blink, otherwise I would've contacted him. I met him at one of the meets I put together... nice guy.
This is the method that those LED companies recommend you use with their products because installing LEDs will cause fast blink as well.
Edit: Like I said, I didn't find much info on fixing the hyperblink, no how-to's or DIYs so I made one to help those out there who want to fix their fast blink using the same method LED companies and a few other CL members use.

It's a backasswards fix, but it's a fix and like you said there is not a lot of info out there. Correctly doing it involves changing the capacitors in the relay and not having to deal with the "business end" of the load which causes you to have to deal with heat, etc.....
Whenever I know my adjustable method will mesh and work well it'll be out here in this thread or another one as an alternative, but until then this is a good cheap fix.

No worse than removing the tail light bulb in the cluster when it goes off after installing 97+ tails... hahah

I tried this yesterday and did not have any luck. Can I get some feedback? I bought a roll of 14gauge wire and those 2 resistors and wired it. I pretty much took the resistor and connected two wires to it, then connected their ends to a striped portion of the green/yellow and the black/white wires. Sealed them with electrical tape and turned on the car and still fast blinking. Any ideas?
