Hey There
I have an 07 Mini s and was wondering if someone can tell me where the Flasher relay is located . All my lights are working but turn signals are flashing really fast . I do get the idiot light when I start the car for an outside light problem out ? Any help with this would be great .
Thanks

 

There is no flasher relay. The computer directly turns the bulbs on and off to flash them (and the turn click comes from a speaker).

Fast flash means a bulb out is detected. This is corroborated by your warning light. Did it always do that? By any chance, were any of the turn bulbs replaced with an LED bulb?

 

Hey.... I would like to replace the bulbs with LED... but I know I will run into the "Fast Flasher" problem due to low resistance. Is there a fix for this? I have a 2006 MCS R52 and 2007 MSC.

 

... any fixes other than splicing in load resistors!

 

Buy CanBus compatible LEDs from a reputable source and/or get the bulb error check codded out of your car via NCS.

 

Any suggestions on a reputable source for CanBus LED's? Also - I am new to forums - what is NCS for getting the error check code out of the car?

I just got these at my local parts store.

That or I also use http://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/l...acement-bulbs/ without issue.. make sure they are CANBUS error free (ie, they have the resistor built in.)

etc

I don't trust crappy looking site or sites I haven't bought from before.

As far as seeing what others have used and learning more about NCS, I would polity say search...read the forums and see what others have done and what worked for them as many people have taken different avenues to get the same results.

 

What is NCS?

 

(Ok, I forget what it stands for..' New coding system?')

But its BMW/Mini's computer language used to control items in the car..

With a few software packages and a e-bay cable you can "hack" your Mini to do things it was never meant to do from the factory (US).

Thanks... I will read up on it!
