Mirror Turn Signal Issue After Installing Aftermarket Taillights

[Kula_Diamond]

I just installed some aftermarket taillights on my Ram 1500EV and noticed that my mirror turn signals are now flashing faster than the taillights and headlights. I’m also getting notifications saying the turn signals and backup sensors aren’t working, but they actually seem to be fine. Do I need to connect an OBD to reset or recalibrate something to fix this, or is there another trick I’m missing?

Hmm, not exactly sure how to fix that, but have you hit up the company that sold you those aftermarket lights? They might have some tips!

Got any updates on this, @Kula_Diamond? Did contacting the company help, or did you figure out another way to sort it out?

you've got the front and mirror blinkers going, right? My gut feeling is that you're probably pushing the flasher relay past its limits. Think of it like trying to plug too many things into one outlet. Could you try unplugging the mirror blinkers and putting your original rear blinkers back in? If everything works smoothly then we know that's the problem.

If that is the case we;ve got a couple of options. you could either swap in a stronger flasher relay or wire up the mirror blinkers with their own separate relay. One more thing to check are you using a mix of LED and regular bulbs for your blinkers? That can cause some weird issues too.
