Is this hyper-flash?

    On my way home from work today my left turn signal started flashing at twice it’s normal speed. Right turn signals and flashers are normal. I checked and all bulbs are good. I do have meso stage 1 tails and his mirror turn signals. Front turn signals are also LED. Any ideas about a cause or solution?

    Sounds the resister in the meso tails went out...or wherever one was.

    Sounds like a resistance problem but no way to know without testing. I would start by contacting meso customs and explain the issue to him since it’s his product. I’ve heard his customer service is pretty good I’m sure he can give you some helpful suggestions and probably help you work it out.

    Yes, that is hyperflash. As mentioned the load resistor either failed or has disconnected. Some resistance checks will confirm this. Compare each side of the Meso wiring.

    Update: I found the resistors that came with my total tails and added one to the left turn signal and all is good. It’s strange to me that it would pop up after more than two years on my truck. Thanks for the quick responses!
