[SOLVED] Fast blinking after Turn Signal LED bulb swap

[Tom Joad]

Hi guys..

I've boughts LED bulbs for my turn signal/hazard few weeks ago.
When I replace even only 2 out of 4 bulbs I noticed that the turn signal was really fast though the hazard signal was still at normal speed.

To fix this I only had to replace the OEM thermal flasher which is set under the dash panel, with a Novita LM487 enectronic flasher.

I did the swap today and I tell you this works without adding any resistor : both hazard AND turn signal blinks at a normal rate.

I need to get this and throw away my ugly resistors

Was it an easy install ? Pics?

It's a really simple install, pull your old flasher from behind the kick panel under your steering wheel, easiest way to find it, is turn on your hazards, and it'll be a large relay that buzzes when your hazards click.

Simple pull and replace, the factory one is in there pretty good, just FYI, takes a bit of pulling to get it out

Yea I was reading and someone said it was a pita to replace. I couldn't imagine it being too hard.

It's not, it's really simple

Yes, really simple.
I'll post pics this evening.
Remove the panel in front of your knees, you'll see a metal part. Behind it you'll see the OEM flasher, pull itwith a light move fron front to back then replace the LM487 there. Enjoy.

I bought this one :

Remove this panel (2 screws with hex head. 6 or 7 mm).

Unplug the blinker and replace with the new one :

Shouldn't be an issue, I've heard with led tails you lose cruise, I know that when I switched to all LED turns, DRL, etc I did this with no resistors and everything works as it should. This was one of my first mods to my truck, the only reason I knew about it was because I did the same thing to my old F150

I don't see why not.

I would take out the resistors before installing.

Can't wait to convert everything to led. I'm sure this applies to my 2002 yukon denali

 

[Tom Joad]

have you checked what your blinker look like?

 

[DDenali]

Not yet I'll check tomorrow
