Turning lights blink inconsistently

[kulvershtukas]

Hi there,
Ranger Raptor 23. When turning light is turned on (no matter right or left turn) it blinks inconsistently, like tik-tik-tik and suddenly tiktiktik (twice faster) and again tik-tik-tik. Sometimes it doesn’t happen, sometimes it does. Seems like it happens more often on deep turns and under braking. Any ideas? What could it be?

Any extra lights tied into the factory wiring? Grille lights, bed cap light, etc?

Nope, all stock

Usually indicates an issue on that circuit. Do you notice it only when also on the brakes?

No, only when turning lights are on (and not even always when they are on, but sometimes)

Strange. I had that a few times when I was on the brakes, then turned on the blinker. Was due to an LED bulb I switched out that went bad.

Most probably you are right, it has something to do with braking. Tried again and it happens while I am pushing the break pedal. Stand there is no indication that some light is malfunctioning.

I’d mention it to the dealer the next time you are in. My OBD scanner did detect an issue. Maybe they can check for any codes. Of course, I’m not sure I’d trust most dealers to find their you-know-what with two hands and a flashlight.
