How to go about turning off the signal flash when unlocking the vehicle? I grab the door and the signal flashes twice indicating unlocked, I do not like announcing to my neighbours every time I unlocked my car. My dealership tells me they do not know how? I was hoping there is a series of buttons to press or something like that. I have a 2012 base model (one).
View 1 RepliesI have a 2000 Dakota quad cab with a 4.7 l when I turn on either turn signal itll flash 2-3 times or sometimes not even flash at all when it does it just stops u can hear the flasher working . What to check and how to check/ replace parts I need to get it working again is there a flasher inside the steering column. or is there just a relay on the side where the fuses are ?
View 1 RepliesOn several occasions, with SKS fob in pocket, I have parked, turned off the car, opened the door, locked the doors with the interior door lock button (on the panel, not the physical door lock), exited the vehicle and closed the door, and then right about the time I make it to the rear of the car on my way to whatever store I'm going to, I hear the unlock "beep" and all the doors unlock.
Sometimes I'm more than a few steps away from the car. And sometimes I don't catch it, and come back to the car and find it's been unlocked all the time. It's like the SKS realizes I'm sitting in the car when I lock the doors, and maybe I'm too quick and it still thinks the fob is in the car when the door closes, so it unlocks the doors. But it's not the long "the-wife-stuck-her-purse-back-in-the-car-with-the-fob-again-even-though-she-knows-it-can't-lock" beep either, although maybe it's because it will let me lock the doors with a fob inside if a door is still open.
I recently just purchased my 2010 Prius and the first mod I did was add new projectors/HID's. Upon ordering this kit I did not get the relay harness.
I also would like to add I drove my car around with my headlights out to see if a bulb out warning would come on and nothing. Also, if we add LED's to turn signals will this create a hyper flash?
Any way to get this on the V? I had this on my bimmer and was really useful.. lane change, merges etc.
View 3 RepliesI have a new to me 2010 Prius. What I'm trying to do (I did it with my 2008 Prius) is to be able to unlock any door from the outside as long as I have my fob in my pocket. I've tried following the directions in the manual but to no avail. I've tried holding lock and unlock on the fob simultaneously for 5 seconds, all doors open shows up on the control panel, but when I approach any door except the drivers door, nothing happens.

View 5 RepliesI have a 1997 explorer sport. I can get out lock the doors and as I am walking away, it will unlock it self. Also I have noticed when looking out the window at it at night that the interior lights will go on as if I was unlocking the vehicle.
I have even noted when I get into the truck in the morning, sometimes it continues to try and unlock it self when it is already unlocked. I know that the little security light in the dash does not come on anymore when I lock it.
Replacing the Remote Anti-theft Personality (RAP) module? Is this the black box in the left rear fender with my door code on it?
Whenever my Prius has been at rest for a while, such as sitting overnight, and I come out in the morning for my drive to work, as soon as I grab the handle and the door unlocks there is a distinct sound like a motor/servo/positioner under the bonnet that runs for about 3 to 4 seconds.
I am curious as to what this is. It's 100% consistent, so it appears the car is prepping something in anticipation of starting the hybrid system - part of the "pre-flight prep" procedure perhaps?
Is there a way to make the running lights flash yellow for signaling a turn like many other makes and models? Would it require aftermarket lights? If I wasn't mistaken, I think I saw an RC doing this today.
Also if this is a thing does that mean I could get the amber out of the headlight? My car is 2015, if that makes a difference.
Since the first time I saw the OEM LED taillights I knew I wanted them and I knew I didn't want that turn signal glitch when braking. There is, of course, the option to wire the LED tails the OEM "proper" way, but I wasn't interested in running multiple wires from front to back so I came up with another way.
All of the wiring to make these work without error* (This method will make the inner LEDs work as brake and Running lights, opposed to just running lights) is confined to the hatch and outer taillight areas.
The main thing that I knew I had to avoid was using the current Pin 1 wire to power the Pin 3 turn signals. For some reason unknown to me the Pin 1 wire wants to be a brake light even after the brake light coding is removed from the adaption channels relating to the pin out. So if that wire wants to be a brake light so badly then that's what I would let it be.
The idea behind the wiring is to use the power from the running light on each side of the hatch to power the turn signal on that respective side (hatch and outer amber signals) and then re-power the inner running light by using a jumper from the outer taillight power.
Now some illustrations to clear that mess up:
The top portion of the picture shows the stock configuration and then the modifications take place in the lower section
And here is a quick video showing that the LED Tails are working. (When brakes are applied the turn signals don't flicker...) [URL] .....
My headlights are like a dying flashlight. I recently attempted to plug in LED lights and tapped into the parking light directly above the high beams. This caused my pass HID to not work, which then I put both stock bulbs in. Both headlights are on now but at a super low brightness. Any clues on what I should check? There are no warning lights on . All lights function as should just not enough power going to the headlights.
View 16 RepliesI am having an electrical problem with my front right turn signal I have not been able to chase down.
The symptoms are when the headlights are on, either manually or automatically from the daylight sensor, the front right turn signal will not flash, and I get the double speed clicking as if there were a burned out bulb. However, when it is daylight out and the headlights are in daytime running light mode, the turn signal works fine, 95% of the time. Occasionally when the headlights are off the turn signal will not work either.
I have replaced the headlights casing and bulbs, and tried rebuilding the pig tail harness as well.
My 1996 GMC Sonoma's turn signals don't flash. The signal bulbs do come on when I flip the switch and I can simulate a turning signal by clicking the switch up and down (which doesn't make me feel silly at all, btw). All six bulbs appear to be working and I can't find any blown fuses. I have also replaced the multifunction switch (which is what two different mechanics told me needed to be done).
View 5 RepliesI have a 2012 limited last night while driving when I would turn my turn signal on the headlights would flash off and back on. I tried it a few more times and it did this quite a bit. I do have HID lights which I have had for about a year now but never had an issue before.
View 8 RepliesI've got an 1984 Chevy Suburban that when I put the Left Tun Signal on, All of the signals Flash (altho the Right side is weaker). The Right Turn Signals are working OK. Brake and Tail lights are Normal Are some wires melted together someplace?I am at a loss as to where to start looking for the problem...
View 8 RepliesHow 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 ?
View 2 RepliesI am having trouble doing something that should be simple, playing music from flash drive. It reads the USB but says there are no supported audio files on the USB. I have reformatted to make sure it is fat32 format. My ipad works with my music files, why won't the USB read my music. It is the same music on the ipad.
View 5 RepliesI have a 1994 ford ranger .the problem is with the right rear turn signal. it works fine except when i step on the brake. At that time, it turns dim and will not flash. All of the other turn signals are not affected like this.i have checked the bulbs and they are all good. I mean the three in the rear tail lite.
View 3 Replies1998 Olds Intrigue 3.8L ... When I turn on the right signal on my Olds Intrigue the back light flashes faster than normal. The front light does not flash. I purchased a new light bulb for the front. I replaced the bulb. The back flashes at a faster rate but the front does not flash. I replaced the front and rear bulbs. The front does not flash and the rear flashes at a faster rate. Do you think there is a broken wire or broken signal flasher?
