Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Flash-to-pass Lights Brighter Than Hi-beam
Jan 14, 2007
I notice that when I pull the turnsignal switch, the "flash-to-pass" lights are considerably brighter than when I lock the switch forward for regular hi-beam. Questions:
1) does it hurt anything if you drive for a few minutes manually holding the switch towards you?
2) is there an easy wiring mod. to make the locked-on hi beams extra bright like the passing lights?
Why buy bulb upgrades if the stock ones are capable of xtra brightness? (I drive through a remote area daily in the dark that is rich with deer, and I am usually the only vehicle.)

I have the Retro-Solution Digital kit on my 2005. While the low beams look great, the high beams are not much brighter...Is this a standard problem with the after market HID's? I need a much brighter high beam !

My wife was driving her truck yesterday and said the MIL light started to flash and the truck felt like "it was about to blow up" . So when I got home I busted out the trusty old scanner and this is what I got:
P0305- Cyl 5 misfire'
P0354- Ignition coil D primary/ Secondary circuit malfunction
P0304- Cylinder 4 misfire
The truck is a 2005 5.4 with ~130,000 on it and it runs very well for the most part. I have done the spark plugs before the summer and replaced them with the motorcrasft sp-515s. I am guessing the problem will be with the #4&5 coil packs. is there a way to troubleshoot these?

I just put a brand new engine in my 2004 f-150 4X4. Truck ran fine for two days. Yesterday I started the truck as usual put it in reverse. As I was backing up it just stopped running no warning nothing just stopped. All electrical still working fine gauges radio etc. When I turn the key I get nothing no starter nothing. The security light continues to flash slowly even when the key is turned on. Basically the best way I can describe it is. The truck is acting like it is in gear when I turn the key. And the odometer reads check gauges.

Golf mk7 2013 ... All of a sudden I lost the highbeam. Highbeam "flash" still works, but not constant high beam.
Bulbs? Are they separate between flash and constant?
Relay?
Stalk?

Why I have one headlight gone dim, high beam will not work. This just happened about a week ago and I changed the bulb and it's still the same.

So I was driving tonight and bumped my brights on and turned them back off and now my low beam on the driver side isn't working. Figured it blew the bulb so I replaced it and still nothing. High beam still works, low beam doesn't. Checked the low beam fuses and they seem to be fine. 2004 FX4

So, my wife tells me that the interior lights have been flashing on. When she accelerates from a stop that blink on for a second. I figure she has not shut a door well but it appears that she has. I have not had a chance to check the doors.

I own a 2004 Chevy Malibu Maxx LT and up until recently the remote start worked great. However starting last week when I go to use it all I get is a quick flash of the brake lights and it wont start. The only thing that happened last week was I had the hood up to check the oil.

I've got a '99 Mercedes E320 and the lights have been getting brighter and dimmer depending on the RPM of the engine. For example, while in park and idle the interior lights will seem a little dim, but then if you rev the engine or start driving it will get a bit brighter.
This started suddenly last week, but I've never had any problems starting it. The water level in the battery was a little low, but I added distilled water and it's not improved.

Recently I noticed that my passenger and drivers side tail lights do not get brighter when I hit the brake. However, the center LED lights still are functioning properly. What might be wrong and how to fix it? I thought it might be the break light switch based on what I have read, but I would imagine that the center LED lights would be messed up too if that was the problem.

All other lights work including Driving lights and High Beams.
I have checked fuses.

Was doing nitrous passes the other day and all of a sudden the car started to lose power. I let off the gas and the rpm's got lower and lower, until I cut the car off. Let the car sit for a bit and tried to restart. Car will turn over but will not start. Threw two odes p0300 random misfire, and p0101 mass or volume air flow circuit range/performance problem. I also smelled slight burning for just a second. I am thinking it has to be MAF or a burned up plug. Has to be air, spark or fuel related. Any of the nitrous guys out there ever run into anything like this? Want to eliminate the small things first. Hoping there isn't a larger issue.

On my previous vehicle (2005 Avalanche), when I unlocked the doors, the tail lights and parking lights flashed to let me know that the signal was received and the doors were unlocked. I noticed that the Excursion doesn't do that. The lights flash on "lock" but not on "unlock". It's a nice feature to have, especially at night.

I have a 1999 Ranger 4x4. My 4wd does not engage when I turn the switch to 4wd lo or 4wd hi. The lights on the dash flash on and off. I disconnected the battery and now the lights are clear. But if I try again to engage it, the lights return. I feel I have a vacuum issue but would like to know more about locking hubs. If I convert them over, how do I know that my system will work? There has to be something else that changes from 4wd lo to 4wd hi. How do I check to see if this is working properly.

How bout this one, both reverse lights flash with left signal. Also with 4 ways on, and will come on steady with brake applied. Unplugged 7 pin at factory conn on left frame, no change. Found and removed L trailer turn relay , no change. Looking for a fuse diagram for an 09 ?

It gets pretty cold. My F250 Super Duty Diesel does pretty well with one exception. When it is cold out (30 to -100), the interior and cargo lights flash when the vehicle is cold. It sits all night in the drive way blinking. This is a problem as it has killed two sets of batteries and I look pretty weird going down the road with my lights going blinky blinky blinky until what ever makes them go off happens.
I then hear a click over by the light switch(es) but have had the vehicle checked by two different garages and they can't figure it out either. Someone said something about oiling up the door latches. I have done that several times and that hasn't had any effect on my problem. My non-mechanical mind is wondering if it might have something to do with a short in the diesel warming system. Just as an aside, I do plug it in starting at 20*F when its going to sit for long periods of time like overnight.

I have a 97 ford ranger V6 4.0. my 4x4 lights flash on my dash board 6 times and go out, a few minutes later it does it again. When I lock my hubs and put it in 4x4 nothing happens. What could be causing this?

1997 Expedition ... I've looked through quite a few 4X4 issue threads and haven't seen my issue described yet ..
When in 4X4 high most times all is well but every once in a while the lights on the dash will flash from 4X4 to 4Lo then 4AWD then settle right back where it should be at 4X4. I don't think that the front axle is being affected as the truck doesn't seem to fall out of and then back into front axle lock.
My guess is that this is an electrical issue but will get to the bottom of it and report back.
