Anyone know of a way to disable the sequential turn signal in the 2011? I've googled repeatedly, and all I come up with are articles on how to add them to Mustangs.

 

I doubt it will be easy as I believe the SJB controls them. You may have to take a chance at wiring the two outer lamps to the inner most so that they all go on at the same time.

However I have no clue if that would work, all it may do it mess up the SJB & lights. Being that they are LED I wouldn't be supprised if the amp draw is critical to everything working correctly.

Maybe talk to your local dealer and see if there is a setting in the SJB that can be changed to emiminate them.

Why do you want to remove them? They really stand out, making the car very noticable & they only work on turn signals. Brake & hazard activate all 3 at the same time.

 

Just personal preference. Was following another Mustang the other day, and realized... I really don't like the look

 

Hmmm I can understand not liking them, but why pay the money or risk doing harm when you cant even see the signals. I can see not liking the interior lights or something, but hmm dunno.

Find a wiring harness used from a 05-09?

I read that Dr. Seuss story to my son just last night.

And I agree with the others: If you can't see the turn signals, what do you care how it looks?

 

Says the guy that modified his car to HAVE sequential turn signals.

 

LMAO.... nice!

Personally, if it's electronic, I don't even THINK about modifying it while it's under warranty. Which also means no TUNES for me. . .

 

I also think its a cheesy "feature". Right up there with MyColor. And would like to know a way to disable it.

 

 

You can put your tune back to stock in like 5 minutes or less.

 

Don't buy a 10+ if you don't like the look.....

It's not as cut-and-dry as the PnP adder kits were for the older models. It's controlled by the SJB and that's why it only does it for turn signals, not flashers or brakes (where the kits use cascading capacitors and/or 555 timers IIRC).

I don't know what the dealer capabilities are, but they may have something in their diagnostic tool that can enable and disable things, like seatbelt chimes, that would do the same for the signals. I'd imagine it's a matter of a logic gate controlling whether or not to time the sequence, or light all 3 at the same time. Since the flashers use solid pulsing, you might find some luck in there.

 

I don't think the question applied to himself. Obviously he likes the sequentials, as do I. I think he was just making the statement (question) for the OP.

 

For Christ sake
That is insta classic.

 

I actually don't like the LED sequential's on the 2010+'s. I think the sequential effect looks alot better on 05-09's, using real light bulbs that flash on and on, versus LEDs that blink on/off instantly in a cheesy digital sort of way.

The slow glow on/glow off of the real bulbs makes the sequential effect look alot smoother. When I get a 2011, I'll probably look for a way to retrofit in regular bulbs and tie it in to an 05-09 sequential kit.

 

Compare: 2005 "chase" lights (slow to go on, slow to go off)

versus

2010 "sequential" lights (instant on, instant off)

(also.. I like chase better than sequential, but I'm biased.. because I have the chase lights.. )

 

I kind of agree with your assessment, the chase lights are a little nicer. Don't get me wrong though, I like the sequential too, so it's not a dealbreaker/thing I must change.

 

Geeze.......does this mean that I could have disabled the sequential turn signals on my '66 Charger??? Oh wait, I couldn't have done it since there was no internet then to tell me how. Oh wait again, I actually LIKED those sequential signals on my Charger.....

Oh well.......

 

Why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter???
