Turn Signals Blink Too Fast
I have a 2001 Silverado 5.3 I recently changed the the brake, rear turn signal lights, and reverse lights to LEDs. The brake and reverse lights work fine but when I'm signaling either right or left the turn signal lights blink super fast but when I turn the emergency lights on they blink normal. Any suggestions on how I can fix this problem? Thanks

I am pretty sure there are two flasher units, one for emergency, the other for turn signals. Not familar with this "late" of a model truck, so I could be wrong. You also should check that the bulbs are flashing, if they are, both front and back, replace the flasher unit for the turn signal, or swap thje two.

the bulbs are hyperflashin cause they're LEDs. you have to find a load resistor for em because the LEDs use less power than a stock bulb so it makes it think the bulb is goin out makin it blink fast

Not familiar with your setup but you might cure it with a variable flasher. They are supposed to flash from 1 to 8 bulbs. The only bad feature is if a bulb goes out you wont know it.
