I've had several 3157 bulbs where the filament still looks good but the bulb was actually faulty . Never had that happen on the old 1157's or 2057's . Now we have computers controlling everything including the turn signals ! Thanks for the tip ! Great video as always !
Ford could make it easier for the client by simply clearing the fault via the ignition switch (non push to start) and it works. Replace whatever faulty bulb that needs changing. Then cycle the ignition on/off then start the vehicle as you would normally. The exterior light module will see the fault go away and the faulty bulb indicator will go out. This is what BMW did back in the 90's on its 7 series cars, never an issue with that setup unless you didn't know about it or were unfamiliar with the reset procedure.......
Great info thxs.. I just had the right brake light bulb blow on my 01 Lightning. I just replaced the bulb & everything is fine. Tidbit: my owners manual list 3457 as the replacement bulb for brake lights.
I have found so many times when people bring vehicles in for lighting issues that the wrong bulb was installed somewhere. Just because it plugs into the socket doesn't mean it's the right bulb.
Wow need a dealership computer reset to get rid of the lamp out hyper flash on some vehicles 🤦🏼♂️ Thank goodness some you can still just replace the bulb .
Try a newer Suburban LED taillight. South Main Auto did a vid on that one. Have to replace the whole unit at about $700 if I recall correctly. But the good news is you get a core credit if you return the old one😏
thanks for that video how can I fix it on a 2021 Ford Ranger I installed LED turn signal bulbs with resistors and the exterior lights blink just fine but inside it's hyperblinking
I don't know the aftermarket world too much but I can tell you right now Vehicles do not like LEDs when it comes to that stuff unless you get the right set up
Or you put aftermarket LED bulbs in the tail lights. Did that on mine and it did the same thing. Had to wire in 2 resistors on each side and it’s fine now.
@@FordBossMe , yeah I bought mine from a dealer in Oklahoma City who decided to have the tail light assemblies and third brake light tinted with VHT nightshade paint. Looks reeeaaally cool, but not very practical. I decided to put brighter LED bulbs in and immediately learned about this issue. Drove it like that for about 8 months, then I quit being lazy and got out the meter and soldering iron and fixed it. Thanks for the content, we all surely appreciate it, I recommend your channel to people all the time. Have a good week, be well.
So I just put LED turn signals / brake lights in and now have the hyper flash. ONLY inside the cabin, the lights all flash as they should outside except the sound clicks too fast as if one was blown. I really dont want to wire in resistors, will try my obd2 scanner now.
No codes, but I cleared anyways. No change. I think its just an issue needing a resistor. I'm not doing that so I'm going to disable the notification in Forscan!! #winning .
I would recommend not doing that because the computer could lose it's memory and settings =will start rough etc. Clear the code, or just turn the vehicle on/off a few times = give the computer a chance to see the bulb is now good.
2019 Ford F150 stock lights, all of a sudden right rear turn signal begin hyper clicking so I replace both left and right rear lights with Lasfit LED’s and now the left rear turn signal is hyper clicking and the right rear turn signal is working normally. What gives?
Okay, so I got BCM code for front right signal so I can reset that code B123B:11 bc everything good that Inspected and replaced bulb, too. So i guess that I have to clear that code log or I can just click BCM reset.
My 2011 keeps throwing code for the driver rear i lose brake and turn signal on that side i put new bulbs reset code and it went away worked for about a month now it keeps doing it bulbs are fine but it literally keeps setting code and i lose signal and brake on rear driver side
its stuff like this that makes me keep buying older cars its like wtf light bulbs have been working fine since cars first came out now they need a computer lol and its also costing the company lots of unnecessary cost people buy cars for how it looks and runs not because of how many weird computers its got they probably wasted millions doing this
Engineer 1 says: ...yeah, but it just a brake/tail light bulb. Engineer 2 says: Computer control everything I say! The technicians have it way too easy!
These dual filament bulbs have people assuming all these crazy things need work when one part fails. It would be less wasteful to design the car with seperate bulbs for each function, but everything is made with planned obsolescence in mind so the more functions something has, the more profit in repairing or replacing it. Gee, kinda makes you hope they don't start using that philosophy on humans....err wait a second.... *gets third shot in one year for the same thing* 💉
This is good stuff Rich. This tidbit will keep someone from banging their head against the wall. Keep em coming!
This video just saved my life. I thought I was going crazy
This is what we get for running a turn signal through a BCM.
Thanks for this short and to the point video. I thought they sold me crap bulbs 😂

Don't speak too soon.

LED taillights and HID headlights are EXPENSIVE! 😒
THANK YOU SIR!!!
My old 02 f150 all bulbs good, flashing normal, dash flashing so fast. So irritating and never figured it out. 🤣

From a 2001 Focus I did know this. One 3157 was burned out.
Had to replace the left front turn signal bulb on my 14 grand caravan for intermittently not working causing the hyper blink.
I feel like if it came flashing fast that would be cool asf
I have this issue with my2021 f250 don't have Upper and lower bulbs just 1 in the middle what's the fix on this truck
The BCM does not like those LED Bulbs, weird flash patterns, unless people use the Forscan to change it.
Man that’s crazy , new vehicle technology 😐
Lucky its just a bulb and not the whole housing.....
Or you put aftermarket LED bulbs in the tail lights. Did that on mine and it did the same thing. Had to wire in 2 resistors on each side and it’s fine now.
Yeah I always take the LED lights out and put the stock ones back in whenever that happens if it's under warranty

@@realryanward FORSCAN :)
I wonder if zip tying the battery cables together without power for a while would reset that? 🤔
People come up with all kind of stuff sometimes it works sometimes it don't all you can do is try
I would recommend not doing that because the computer could lose it's memory and settings =will start rough etc. Clear the code, or just turn the vehicle on/off a few times = give the computer a chance to see the bulb is now good.
I'm wondering if this is why my Focus ST is doing this same exact thing.
2019 Ford F150 stock lights, all of a sudden right rear turn signal begin hyper clicking so I replace both left and right rear lights with Lasfit LED’s and now the left rear turn signal is hyper clicking and the right rear turn signal is working normally. What gives?
Non compatible lights
Okay, so I got BCM code for front right signal so I can reset that code B123B:11 bc everything good that Inspected and replaced bulb, too. So i guess that I have to clear that code log or I can just click BCM reset.
I was saying same thing. I believe we can try to clear that damn code log or BCM reset lol
Yeah you got to reset you got to clear the codes and the body control module to get the light to turn back on
I just did that, took me about five minutes. It automatically started working properly again.
Just because it worked that way for you doesn't mean it's going to work that way for everybody bud....wake up
My 2011 keeps throwing code for the driver rear i lose brake and turn signal on that side i put new bulbs reset code and it went away worked for about a month now it keeps doing it bulbs are fine but it literally keeps setting code and i lose signal and brake on rear driver side
change the light socket
@@FordBossMe I already did even bought new aftermarket taillights and still does it I'm starting to think the bcm is bad
I didn't run into such an ordeal with my '69 Dart.
A scan tool to change a lightbulb...
Does the f 150 have ck socket or standard socket for the front turn signals
Ck?
Standard push in connectors
@@FordBossMe okay I looked up the turn signal bulbs and it asked me if they were a ck socket or a standard socket
its stuff like this that makes me keep buying older cars its like wtf light bulbs have been working fine since cars first came out now they need a computer lol and its also costing the company lots of unnecessary cost people buy cars for how it looks and runs not because of how many weird computers its got they probably wasted millions doing this

We've had dual filament bulbs for decades! You've never done a sealed beam 6024 headlight on a Jeep or Mustang? 🤔😂
