I want to convert my stock turn signals into LED, but i want to do without the hyperblink. I've done some research into this, and have ended up confusing myself. I don't know if I have to add resistors in order to stop the hyperblink that would occur, or if I can simply change the flasher relay and it be more straightforward.

Has done this off & on for a few years and am tired of it! Noise is kind of a buzzing that seems to come from the flasher/turn signal relay. It stops buzzing when you turn on a turn signal, activate the flashers, or lift up on the shifter arm(?). Had to drive home yesterday with the flashers on! So I see from researching that it may actually be the multi-funtion switch on the steering column. So I removed that, cleaned up all the contacts, and put it back on and the buzzing did not go away.
I know it's not necessary, one can just leave the old one in.. But I want to mount the new relay, and not leave it hanging off a harness (that's what caused me to drop the relay in the dash in the first place)..

I haven't received my LEDs yet, but when I installed this relay, turn signal does not have any response. The seller said this item is not compatible with my car, but according to my reading in the forum it should be. I saw other seller selling relay which looks the same as this one have description says it's compatible with Prius 2010. Is it just a faulty item or the compatibility issue does exists?
I am planning to install the WebElectric DRL-2P ( Sequential Turn Signals, One Touch Turn Signals, Challenger Sequential Taillights, Sequential Tail Lights, Mustang, Dynamite Stick Sequential, Pulsing Brake Light Pulser Flasher, One Touch Convertible Top, Dynamite Stick, One Touch Turn Signals, Dayt ) which uses the front turn signals as a DRL. Because the turn signal lights will be on all of the time, I am going to convert the turn signal bulbs to LEDs.
This will require changing the turn signal flasher (I don't want to use a resistor because of the current draw and heat issue), since the LEDs are seen as a burnt out bulb and causes a quick flash. What is the location of the turn signal flasher on the 2010? There is a thread for the 2009, but I am not sure it is the same. I would rather not take panels apart until I know that what I am looking for is underneath. What is the correct flasher to use? The closest I have seen is: LED Flasher Unit CF18-08 Specifications
One final question: Where can I locate a circuit in the engine compartment that I can tap into which is live only when the car is in the "Ready" mode. I want to use this as the trigger to turn on the DRL circuit. I have seen people suggest the windshield washer circuit, but was wondering if there is a better choice.
Where is the signal flasher relay located. I can hear it but can't track it down.
View 5 RepliesI am getting ready to switch out the turn signal bulbs in my 2012 F150 to LED bulbs. I know on my previous truck (2006) I had to switch out the turn signal relay so the turn signal lights would not fast flash. On my 2012 it sounds like the flasher unit is up high in the dash board behind the instrument panel and I can't see it.
How to access it easily? I have seen on other forums the talk of there not being a flasher relay and being computer controlled, but there is one listed on Ford parts for the 2011 and 2012 F150s.
Had a weird issue come up this weekend. I went to drive my truck for the first time in a couple of weeks and when I got in I noticed a constant clicking from under the dash (whether the truck was on, off or if the indicators / hazard lights were on or off). I investigated and found it was my flasher relay. I have replaced this relay recently (within the past year) to an EP27L to accommodate the LED lighting I installed throughout the truck (hyper flash on the old relay doesn't even describe it properly, it was a constant buzz!) and it has been working perfectly until this point.
I thought it may just be something going on with the relay so I pulled it and replaced with the old EP27 unit I still had. It does the same thing, albeit at a slower rate (every 4-5 seconds). The lights do not blink when it is doing this, but still operate normally when I move my stalk up or down or when I press the hazard / flasher button on top of the steering column.
I am wondering if there is a short somewhere in my multifunction switch that is causing this issue? If so, why would it come up when truck has been sat? I didn't have the time, not the inclination to roll around inside my truck (hotter than hades here in Florida right now) to troubleshoot any further. I pulled the relay altogether until I get some time and cooler weather to look into it further. Otherwise the truck seems to operate as normal, even all the lighting seems to have no ill effects from this?
I have been having a problem with my 2006 Hyundai Elantra power door locks, the power door lock switch only works in one direction. It only opens all of the doors locks, but doesn't lock them so I have to manually lock all of the doors. I am pretty sure that the power door lock relays have gone bad, so I was wondering where the relays are located on Hyundai Elantra 2006 so I can swap out the old relay with the new relay.
View 3 RepliesMy main relay is chattering badly when my ignition is in the on position but not in the ACC position. All of my "dummy" lights are flashing with the chattering main relay. I have tried to replace both the Start and Main relay and I replaced the battery 3 weeks ago. I have checked the wiring and I do not see anywhere the wires could have been chewed by a mouse and everything appears to be connected. Checked all of the relays and fuses to make sure they were in tightly. Could this be the ignition?

View 6 RepliesI have a Hyundai Elantra XD 2004 FX hatch. About 3 weeks ago we noticed that there was an occasional rough change in the transmission. It happens mostly between gears 3 and 4, but can happen outside these gear also.
I have checked the fluid level and it always seems low. Over the last 3 weeks I purchased some transmission fluid (I used the Castrol brand for that specific car as looked up by the spare parts shop) and the problem hasn't got any better. On top of that despite adding a total of 800mL over the last couple of weeks it still doesn't appear to register between the cold and hot level on the dipstick.
I've looked around for leaks and can't seem to find any, there were a couple of drops underneath the car but I can't say for sure they are transmission fluid, I'll have to check this again soon (it's a bit difficult as it's not my car it's my wife's and when she gets home it's dark). Either way it's only a couple of drops at worst.
What this might be, and what the process I should follow to diagnose it is? If it's anything besides a leak in a hose then I'll definitely be taking it to a mechanic/transmission specialist.
I just changed the timing belt on my sisters car and finished yesterday and drove it today. A check engine light came on so I went to check it out and P0016 popped up. I've done some research and people say that it might be that the timing belt is misaligned or loose. I tightened the belt not too tight but not too loose. Note: I also spilled coolant on the crankshaft pulley and a bit on the belt itself. The car idles rough when driving too. I will tomorrow take off the cover and check the tension of the belt.
View 9 RepliesI just purchased a 01 Passat and after about a week the directionals started to stick. I noticed that the flasher is incorparated with the 4 way flasher. If I wiggley the flasher or put on the 4 ways on for a brief second the directionals will work agin. Does this sound like a flasher concern or am I looking at bigger problems. I am no good when it comes to electrical. If it is the flasher I just called the local VW dealer and they have them in stock for 35 bucks. Are they hard to replace. Any special tools needed?
View 3 RepliesI have access to the fuse panel but I need to remove the panel to reach the relays. I need to change the socket in the relay panel because one is burnt out. I change the K(headlight)relay and when my car is off and key out of the ignition my lights are still on.
View 10 RepliesI have myself changed the oil and filter in my Accent 2013 for the 1st time; after the change everything looked fine, no alarm lights, oil level is OK, no leakages, etc.
However. when I turn off the car I hear beeps coming from the engine, I hear relay clicks and after some seconds the sounds disappear.
When I had the oil changed at an oil shop, this didn't happen. Again, I see no alarms on the driver panel.
So I'm working on a customers car, its a 2001 Passat, there is a buzzing sound that started when she would use her left turn signal, and now the sound wont stop, the only way to make it stop is to turn the car off, turn the blinker on, or the flashers. I'm thinking the Turn signal switch inside the steering area.
View 2 RepliesI bought an hid kit for my 2013 elantra a month ago... When I installed them with the relay, I have flickering issues and the relay makes a buzzing noise... How can i fix this???
View 4 RepliesI recently installed a DDM Tuning HID kit. Since then it's always been making a strange sound when I turn the HIDs on (but the lights are working fine).
The relay base is physically vibrating and making a strange sound, see the video below:

What is the problem and how can I fix it? I'm not sure if this is safe or not! I did the install correctly.
I have a 2003 prius that is missing the relay that goes in "ABS Sol" spot in the fuse box closest to the windshield but under the hood. I think the last mechanic who worked on it took it out to test and never put it back...
View 1 RepliesI replaced the blower relay around this time last year. I noticed this morning idling that the vents weren't blowing then when i was moving i heard it tick back on and would blow normally. This happens when driving too but more noticeable when idling. The AC light also flickers and goes on/off.
I can go ahead and replace it again but this seems to have gone through this brand new relay pretty fast. What I can fix to stop going through relays?
