How to Eliminate Hyperflash on Any 1995-2011 Panther Car (NO Resistors!!)

Hello all!
I know for all my Crown Vic viewers this video is long overdue, but finally I have another new Panther-related video! This time we're talking about how I personally eliminated the hyperflash caused by converting to LED turn signal bulbs. This is one of at least 2 ways you can remedy the hyperflash, but I personally think this is the easier - and much cheaper - option. To my knowledge this fix will work on any 1995-2011 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, Mercury Marauder, and Lincoln Town Car. As always, your comments and questions are welcome!
Best,
Eddie

very good info so my 2008 town car it should be 2 light blue connected together ,and 2 white with red stripes connected together!! I like the clicking sound of the flasher it reminds me its on. Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!!!!!

[@saad2988]

Question so did cut the wires and connected to the relay? Is that it Or did you make intermediate connections

[@summerforever6736]

ok i got it so we not using the flasher on the LCM board that is why we remove the pins or cut the wire so we using our flasher for the LED. great idea!!😉

[@wadepatton2433]

Wait I want the 5-speed and that third pedal!

[@wacky9198]

Thank you brother! With your help, I have now been able to convert all of my bulbs to LED without hyperflash!

[@KeystoneProdsPA]

You're very welcome! I'm happy to hear it worked for you

A STICK SHIFT VIC.... I "NEVER" seen that before.... Interesting

[@PanzerPlatform]

Right on Big Ed, What a great video. You have such a good narrating voice. Lol One thing, I wish you would have shown the left, or right turn signals individually instead of turning on the 4-way emergency flashers. The reason I say this is because I get comments from people who install LED turn signal bulbs, and engage the 4-ways to check if they work. It's not until they go for a drive and only use the left or right turn signal that they realize they have hyper flash. This is because the 4-way switch is an independent circuit from the turn signal circuit. -Chuck

[@KeystoneProdsPA]

Thanks Chuck! Fair critique - I didn't even think to show it, but I'd hope that it's obviously implied that it would work also for the individual turn signals. I can film a short clip later in the week and post it as a follow-up.

@@KeystoneProdsPA Your dealing with Internet people looking for help, answers, info etc. Nothing is assumed, or obvious. Sometimes it helps to make videos "idiot proof". Lol

[@KeystoneProdsPA]

@@PanzerPlatform you've certainly got a point there - that's why I've tried to shy away from tutorials in the past haha

[@PanzerPlatform]

@@KeystoneProdsPA "How To" videos, and tutorials are the hardest videos to make. I don't make them either. If you can find one of my videos that says "how to" in the video title, I'll give you a gold star. lol

[@hectordominguez5742]

Okay I'm a little bit confused I can't figure this out on the three connectors in the back where are the wires coming out of the big one or one of the two small ones? Also do I cut the wire in the middle and run it from the harness to the relay and back from the relay to the module?

[@summerforever6736]

de pin the connector

[@summerforever6736]

the wires going into the plug than plugged into the module you cut or de pin the wire from the connector 2 blue together 2 white with red together so it will uses your own led flasher not the one in the LCM you will have 2 wires so they will be connected to the led flasher to each of the legs on the flasher ...simple

[@hectordominguez5742]

So do I get a flasher relay with only 2 prongs ? I've got 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis LS thanks in advance

[@KeystoneProdsPA]

That should be all you need. I showed which flasher I used I used in the video. Having an adjustable rate flasher is nice because you can fine-tune your blinker speed

[@petercmhanna]

Who’d you have make those projector headlights?

[@KeystoneProdsPA]

The lights on my Crown Vic were made by a friend, as a way to get into the HID Retrofit world without spending a ton of money. Once I realized how incredible these are, I had Kevin from Panther Lights make a set for my Mercury.

Where did you get that pinout diagram for the LCM? I want to reverse engineer the LCM to see what kind of tricks I can play with it and that diagram would help lots for my '03 Town Car.

[@KeystoneProdsPA]

Either on Google or the old crownvic(dot)net forums. I've had it saved for a while on my computer so I don't know for sure

[@pdv7384]

Link the fuse you used👍🏼

[@hectordominguez5742]

Okay I finally got it my turn signals work but my only problem is when I turn on all the lights exterior my rear turn signals do not work they just stay on but once I turn All the lights off and during the day they do work anybody know why?

[@pmarcil62]

Where do I find the diagram

[@bloodbath08]

So just to clarify, the Crown Vic had 2 pairs of the wire colours, you snipped them both from the connector and tied the two light blue and two white with red stripes together and then connected them each to the flasher?

[@KeystoneProdsPA]

Yep that's it. Pre-05 models will just have one of each color wire, 05 and newer models will have a pair of each color wire

[@bloodbath08]

@@KeystoneProdsPA Thanks for the reply. Greatly appreciated. Ive seen other videos and even your comments below and people are saying their lights stop flashing after a bit or the dashboard indicators wont flash... have you experienced any issues?

[@KeystoneProdsPA]

@Anthony P you're welcome Anthony. Unfortunately I cannot say that I've experienced that. The only issue I've ever ran into was if I connected the wires to the wrong pin on the relay, they would either not turn on at all, or come on but stay solid. Swap the wires vice versa to the different pins and that solved it and everything worked as it should

[@bloodbath08]

@@KeystoneProdsPAthanks again for your response. I’m gonna try this out!

[@Ghost.Pursuit]

@@KeystoneProdsPAI am experiencing this problem, at first it worked great and now it just barely illuminates the light/ does not turn on… the new flasher just makes the light come on solid, I did not use the flasher that you recommended, I am planning on buying that, do you have any other recommendations?

[@suwinky]

All that work. Just put resistors on

[@wadepatton2433]

Seems one can install an LED specific flasher relay in the OEM position. No splicing. I've not tried it yet. Still ordering bulbs.

[@KeystoneProdsPA]

To me, resistors would've been more work, splicing and adding resistors to each turn signal bulb instead of just 4 wires under the dash.

[@summerforever6736]

@@KeystoneProdsPA this is much much better than resistors!!!!!!!!!! 100% agree that guy is cluless

[@wadepatton2433]

Why not use an OEM type replacement flasher for LED's? Seems a bit simpler, perhaps no speed adjustment, but I don't know that yet.

[@KeystoneProdsPA]

To my knowledge, because the Panther turn signals are controlled through the LCM, you'd either need to wire in an external flasher (as shown in the video) or wire in resistors for each of the 6 turn signals

[@wadepatton2433]

@@KeystoneProdsPA The OEM-only type suppliers of auto parts do sell a flasher relay for my year Panther. Perhaps I'm all wet and that won't be the thing. If so, I'll splice one in--no way I'm putting on six resistors for my six flashing lights. I'll be finding out for sure soon.

[@wadepatton2433]

@@KeystoneProdsPA Yup, confirmed. I now have a two-pin relay on order. Gotta do surgery on the circuitry.

@@KeystoneProdsPA Hey, this is the best video on the subject. After looking at a few others, I needed to come back and say thanks. I have a 2-pin LED flasher in the mail. Loving the "switchback" LED's in my flashers now--just gotta calm them down a little bit.

[@KeystoneProdsPA]

@Wade Patton Thank you for the kind words, I'm happy to have helped out! I just bought a 3rd Panther a little over 2 months ago, and I did this mod in about 15 minutes (granted it's my third time doing it) but still, subjectively it's way less effort, and objectively it's way fewer components to properly run LEDs
