Turn signal indicator blinking fast
My turn signal indicator in the instrument cluster started flashing fast today for no apparent reason. All turn signals are flashing at the correct speed but the indicator is flashing fast. To make it even stranger, it will correct itself if the truck is turned off but acc mode is on but as soon as the vehicle is started, it starts flashing fast again.
Anyone ever experienced this or have any ideas as to what is wrong?
Truck is a 2017 F250 Platinum (all LED) with stock lighting.

Do you use FordPass on your phone and if so, are there any vehicle alerts?

I plan on letting the dealer figure this one out. All of the turn signals flash at the normal rate so none are out. The instrument cluster is the only thing that is flashing fast. The harness at the rear is still packed with dielectric grease.
The dealership did replace the left headlight a couple of weeks ago due to peeling UV coating and there was a DTC for the high beam. I cleared the codes hoping that would fix it but it’s still screwed up.

This just started occurring on my new 2019 I’ve have 2 months.
1800 miles
Blinkers all appear to be working correctly on the truck.
just the left turn signal indicator on the dash blinks at a high rate.
Right indicator acts normal.
Now I did have a canopy installed a month ago and that’s where my first suspicions point although everything has been working normal till today.
I’m just starting my investigation

I found the culprit for mine so it might be worth looking into.
My left headlight was replaced before mine starting doing it and while they were in there, they changed my full brightness DRL setting back to stock. I decided to look into the settings in Forscan.
I found the As Built data using my VIN and decided to compare. The values for “fog lights with high beam LED and some halogen” and “remember fog lights and high beams on startup” were screwed up.
I didn’t change either of those values prior to the dealership visit so I can only assume that while they were reprogramming stuff, those values got changed. Once I changed those back to the As Built values, the turn signal indicator started working as it’s supposed to.

I’ve only had my truck 2 months and never been back to the dealer.
Never hooked up Forscan.
When it stops raining I’ll check out the trailer plugs as someone else suggested
Thanks!

Flasher Indicator lamp
I suggest disconnecting your negative terminal on your battery. See if it’ll reset some module/computer on the truck. I had the same issue yesterday when I was doing some wiring for my rear strip lights.
i disconnected my negative terminal on the battery and the blinker reset on it’s regular speed.
