I'm wondering if it's possible to change the amount of flashes from the turn signal from the default of 3 to a higher number? I find that I'm barely starting my lane change by the time the signal hits the 3rd flash.
Other hand gestures were learned later in life.
Your driving a Ram not a BMW.Wait ..im supposed to use turn signals ?? Huh
I haven't towed anything so I haven't seen this. Maybe enabling tow/haul mode enables it? Easier for me to test that since I don't have anything to tow LOL. 5 blinks would make more sense I think.Yeah 3 blinks does suck.
On some trucks the signal blinks 5 times if the truck detects that a trailer is connected. I wonder if connecting something to the 4-pin at the rear bumper would trick it into blinking 5 times always? Hmmm

Crap, I forgot to test that on my way home from work yesterday. Drove the Audi today so I'll have to wait until the next time I drive my truck. With my memory lately I probably won't remember then either LOL.On my Gen 4 2014 Laramie, enabling Tow/Haul caused the blink count to change to 6. Without Tow/Haul on it was 3. Not sure if it is the same on the 5th Gen trucks though.

I was just looking to see if the tap feature on the signal stalk could be programmed to have an extra blink or two. It's not a big deal; was just wondering. I definitely have my answer at this point. It's not and enabling tow/haul mode doesn't add any flashes. Also the spring load only shuts it off after turning a corner and not after a lane change.Maybe I'm completely missing the intent of the question but I can only infer that the discussion is about a quick, momentary tap-and-release of the turn signal lever?
If so, I'm not really sure how this is a problem. I was taught 35 years ago that turn signal stalks are spring loaded and when changing lanes, to simply hold pressure on the stalk until the lane change is complete (without fully placing the lever into the hands-free detent).
Something tells me I'm stating the obvious and I must be missing the intent of the original post.
Doesn't change the number of flashes; just tried it.On my Gen 4 2014 Laramie, enabling Tow/Haul caused the blink count to change to 6. Without Tow/Haul on it was 3. Not sure if it is the same on the 5th Gen trucks though.

No, you're conflating the difference between the spring loaded position and the detent position.Also the spring load only shuts it off after turning a corner and not after a lane change.
