This will work for any car that has the fast blinking due to LED bulbs. What happens is that when you put LEDs in for blinker bulb your car thinks that the bulb is out due to the low voultage. So by putting a load resistor in makes your car think that the bulb is still good and will slow the blinking to stock.

I just got the flasher relay and I have that issue, the flashing light when I lock and unlock doesn't work. Isn't there a way around it w/o having to splice and use the load ones...because those things can get really hot and could cause a fire (from what I hear).

I think this is the only other way. The only thing I can thunk of is you don't have to splice into your harness you can use T taps and when you wrap the harness back up leave the load resistor out (don't wrap it). Thus way all the heat won't be in the harness it will b out in the open. I wish I would have done it this way.

If you notice I don't even touch the 3rd wire. So I'll you have to do is just connect the wires like I did

There are 3 wires on the Xb cause there's the:
ground
power for signal
power for running light

on the tc there is only the ground and the turning signal
that's why you don't have the third wire

Try the CF19 Dual load flasher relay which won't disable your flashing alarm while locking/unlocking.

Where can I get this CF19 Dual Load Flasher Relay or the tC? Does this relay work with both halogen and LED bulbs?
