Well 1st left turn signal on the way to work this morning. The error code goes off for it. So i guess i can rule out the bulbs being the issue....

If i was using the wrong wire with the resistor, would it even work? Or throw the error right from the start? I found the info on what wires to use over on RamForumZ. So i dont think i would be using the wrong wire but just a thought

That could be a issue. I remember I did have that problem when I first installed my LED tails.

I hooked everything help, had no error message. Put taillights back in, start the truck up and error pops up. Shizt.. Took the taillights back out doing one at a time switching wires with the blinker on seeing which one would keep the error message off.

See after seeing that video. I really dont think im using the wrong wire & i installed the resistor exactly that same way.

I had the error on at lunch. Got in the turning lane to turn left, it was hyper flashing at 1st then out of nowhere began working correctly. Stayed working with no error till i got back to work. This is what confuses me, it works then it don't.

Well guys last night. I was cruising around and my right front turn signal gave the error and started hyperflashing as well. So now both fronts are giving me the error. Does the hyperflashing do anything to the bulbs? If not, i may just say screw it and leave them like that for now.

Do you have factory or aftermarket tail lights? I have seen some strange things happen with aftermarket LED tail lights and then installing LED bulbs in the front.

No, i still have stock tail lights.

I wasnt having issues with the right side till last night. But for some reason when i went out a little earlier, they were both giving me an error. Took a left turn and it started flashing correctly after maybe 30 seconds. Then later on, the right side did the same exact thing. They basically corrected themselves lol but im sure when i go out again. They'll work correctly for some time then begin hyperflashing because that's all the left side has done. Either work correctly or hypeflash.
