Had anybody else had this problem?

[JamesQ324]

About 2 months ago I got a message on the info center in my 09 1500 that the "Right rear turn signal lamp is out" I have aftermarket tail lights and when I hit the right turn signal all the lights flash but they flash rapidly. My first instinct was it's a flasher relay. But every thing I research doesn't give me the location of the relay so I can change it. The rapid flash and tick is driving me insane. Has anyone else had this issue and how in God's name do I fix it?

It's caused by your aftermarket tail lights

 

[JamesQ324]

How do I fix it without having to go back to the factory tail lights?

You’ll need to put some a resistor in to fool the canbus into thinking you have the stock taillights

I think a few companies make plug in canbus foolers for aftermarket taillights.The blinker is computer controlled

Most aftermarket tail lights don't come with blinker fluid. You topped off the fluid after you installed the lights, right?





jk. As others have said, you probably need a resistor.

The aftermarket tail lights had resistors on them, I'm guessing that's what went bad on the right one. Don't know where to get a new one though. Any suggestions on where to get them would be most appreciated.

Needs more resistance in the circuit... I would add a 3 to 5 ohm resistor in series with lamps..
