Problem w/ 1157 led tail lights

[Ifordman98]

I just bought 1157 led tail lights from advaced auto for $20 and they dont work right. They only work fine when i put my hazards on, and when i brake. When i put my blinkers on (either one) They blink fast, as if one of the lights were out. Is this weird or am i just an idiot?

you need an electronic flasher if you want them to work properly. advance auto should have one in stock that fits the contour.

What is it, how does it work and what does it look like if you dont mind me asking and what is the estimated price

[striker2]

should look something like this

thats an electronic flasher for my 97 but i cant imagine ford changed it.

yeah you do

Thanks, and where does the electronic flasher go?

[striker2]

you undo 3 screws on the bottom of the steering column shroud. it should be right there on the drivers side. just pull it out and insert the new one.

it will effect the flashing of all 4 corners. they will flash the same no matter what bulbs or how much resistance is in the circuit. if you have a bulb out it will still flash the same pace.
