    I feel like this should be easy, but I've been on TW, Google, and under the hood trying to find this info and am coming up with nothing.

    Where is the turn signal relay, and what is the part number?

    Don't believe they have turn signal relays any more. Function is controlled internally by the Bcm

    I searched the PDF manual and there's no mention of a relay.

    Crap so I have to do resistors I guess. I was trying to avoid that.

    I replace my turn signals with LEDs and they're hyperblinking.

    Led's will require resistors.

    Yeah, changing a relay wouldn't do anything, unless they somehow built a resistor into it

    There are LED friendly relays that don't have the built in fast blink featurethat notifies you when a bulb is out and resistance drops. The resistor is only to fool the relay into thinking the draw is the same as an incandescent bulb.

    It's not to fool the relay, it's to fool the computer

    I ran into the same issue and confirmed with the dealership that is no separate turn signal relay anymore for 2016. It's integrated into the instrument cluster.
