How to Fix Hyperflash in Directional Signals??

[pitzerwm]

I have been looking for 30 minutes and I can't find the thread. I know its been here and of course I did't write it down, but changed out rear signal lites with LEDs and get hyperflash, which is strange IMO because the front ones are LEDs.

I never give up and found it, as it was the great Lamonster, not Finless as I assumed.

Now, what I found that just by holding down the hazard flasher for 30 seconds with a blinker on reset the whole thing. In this video, he shows doing the procedure for eash side. I didn't need to do that nor did I have to do the let the signal flash once and turn off the key. Maybe they made it simpler. Any way between now and hell freezing over, I'm sure people will need this info.

FWIW what I have also done is to add a relay to the fender LEDs that had been added by the previous owner, but they didn't flash. The relay is hooked to the turn signal and interrupts the fender circuit. Then I changed out the rear turn signals with LEDs.

Well, just double checked it and without the motor running it flashes right, but when the engine running, after a few flashes it goes into hyper flashing. Went thru the procedure again and the same-thing. So live with it, or get a couple of resistors.

After adding the LED upgrade to the front fenders on my 2014 RT and a friends RT they were hyper- flashing. The reset procedure I used was to hold down the Hazard button, turn on the key and while watching the right side of the cluster you will see one of the warning icon flash after about 30 seconds. One this has occurred release the hazard button. The turn signals should now flash normally.

Cruzr Joe was the first to report on this "fix". I think that Doc R has it right; but you could always PM Joe for a confirmation. :thumbup:

You all forgot one critical step in the reset. You must do this while standing on one leg.

:shocked: Damn... Does it matter which one? :dontknow:

Of course it does. Right leg in northern hemisphere and left in southern. :roflblack:

What I do know is that if you change all the turn signals you will get this problem; but as long as you have one conventional bulb in the system it works as normal. :banghead: So if at all, you may just need to add the resistors... :dontknow:

Ok, I followed this "reset" and it didn't work, so I tried it a little different. I started the bike, then held down the Hazard button down for 30 plus seconds, I didn't see anything on the cluster. turned off the hazard, and turned on turn signal, it appears fixed.

I'll report later if I need to try the right leg thing.

As for the fender LEDs, they were wired as always on, I interrupted the power with a relay tied to the turn signals. That way they won't be in the nanny circuit, but do flash opposite the turn signals. I replaced the real turn signals and that started the hyper flashing.

I put in LED signal lights, and they are bright - BUT - the hyperflash keeps coming back after I've done "The fix". So I purchased the resistors and will install them tomorrow... AFTER THE WARRIORS BEAT THE Cavs!

Any way, are they meant to be installed in parallel (which I think is correct?) or in series????

Thanks to all the electrical wizards out there.

Wiring them in parallel after - The Warriors beat the Cavs!! :clap:

Have you considered letting your dealer take a crack at the "free fix"? :dontknow:
(I just hate to over-complicate electrical stuff: it causes.... Well: you know! )

 

[Lew L]

Ahhhh - NO. Michaels of Reno does not know of any "Free Fix". As I've changed the lights to really bright LEDs, they will charge their standard hourly rate - If they would do it at all. There are not enough :spyder2:'s around here for any competition, so he is all we've got.

$110 per hour causes me:

PS: All done. Still seems to flash fast, but not hyper... :dontknow:

 

[Bob Denman]

Glad to hear that you found a fix, and ended the...

 

[Lew L]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

The chaos is not over!!! Hyper flash has returned! This is crazy.

I'll whip off the tupperware (getting good at that) and re-wire the resistors in series.

At least I got the Garmin 660LM to work perfectly.

:gaah: Aaarrrggghhh! :gaah:
Good luck in getting things sorted out! :thumbup:

Thanks Cape, but they are already wired in parallel. I tried the fix built into the :spyder2:'s using the emergency flasher button...
