Default Turn signal problems




i have some problems with getting my turn signals to work. I have canged the headlights that is from bull boost. And also have the popular led turn signals in the back. But they dont blink. They permanently light. When i disconnect the tail turn signals the front and sides blinks but fast like they would when you are missing a bulb. But when i connect the tail again they just light without blinking. Even if the colum inside the car is turned to left/right or not. I sodered it like the manual for the lights said i should and the recictance is also correct. Is there a rel่ or something that is broken? Also when i connect the original turn lights on the back its the same..

please help

The turn signals are operated by the BCM. There is no flasher relay like in older cars.

The hyperflash is to alert you when a bulb is out. This is common when changing from incandescent bulbs to LEDs since the operate off a lower voltage. The BCM is sensing a decrease and hyperflashing.

I'm guessing both your new headlights and taillights have LEDs, so I would wire in some resistors in order to mimic the incandescent bulbs and hopefully that will fix things.

thank you. In the front and sides everything is halogen exept the drl that is xenon. But when i change to the original taillights its the same.. and there is a resistor with the led taillight. Do i need to disconnect the battery and hard reset everything?

I think something might be getting lost in translation. The curved strip in your headlight is probably LED, and the turn signal and side marker bulbs from your picture indicate they are incandescent filament bulbs. Your low beam looks to be a xenon HID bulb. Your aftermarket tail lights are LED.

Either way, how do you have the load resistors wired in your tail lights? And what is their rating? Some 50w 6 ohm resistors should do the trick. They get spliced in between the positive and negative wires. Something like this:

i think i found the problem but no sulution. I always have power to my turn signals. And when i blink the the power goes up and down. But no idea why it is like this now. It was not like that when i started. And everything i have on mounted shall be plug and play

I think you have something wired incorrectly. Or, I guess it's possible you shorted something in your BCM. Do your hazard lights work?

i have now found the issue. The bull boost preformance headlights are some piece of **** that destroy the resistance in the circuit. Removed them and everything works fine. Really dont reccomend the lights
