Change from 3 blinks to 1

[siringo]

Anyone know if it's possible to alter the indicators from blinking 3 times back to only once?

I suspect a new flasher can may be the answer but not 100% sure???

pretty sure it might be controlled by the BCM not 100% sure tho...

did u change ur indicators to leds? just add a load resistor to them and it will slow them back if you did.

Sorry mate, what's the BCM?

Body control module or the thing that controls how most of the electronic techno-crap behaves.

I think the indicator stalk has two switches per side. If I press lightly to the left and release, I get 3 flashes. If I push it all the way to the left so that it clicks into position then pull it back, I get ONE flash.

It's actually handy some of the time, but I don't know how to disengage it without breaking the stalk.

I've done some googling on this and it seems that it's a common thing nowadays. Mazda, Ford, BMW all do it and no one seems to know how to get around it.

It's a lane change setting and 3 blinks is the minimum legal requirement to indicate yoiu are changing lanes anything less that that and its ball ticket time...

I like that it does blinks 3 times with a tap.
Why do you want to change it to one blink?

Absolutely nothing wrong with the old reliable hand signals.

Yep, that's right. Especially the middle finger hand signal, lol...

Yes, the blinkers are controlled by the BCM. I wonder if it's possible to get into it and reprogram it????
