I changed the turn signal bulbs to LED's and now I have hyper flashing. I need to change the flasher relay/module to work with LED type bulbs. I cannot find the location of the relay/module for that. Can you point me in the right direction please? Thank you.

Welcome to 2CarPros. You have discovered one of the big problems with LED's, they don't have the proper load for the vehicle electronics. Unfortunately there is no flasher in your vehicle, the flashing is controlled by the totally integrated power modules computer. That is the main fuse and relay box under the hood. About the only solution I know of would be to add a resistor at each bulb to get it to think the old bulbs are still in it.

Okay, I guess that's my only solution. I have checked this vehicle everywhere. Was really getting on my nerves. Thank you.

There are worse ones out there these days. In this case be very careful with the resistance you use. The TIPM is very easy to damage and buying a replacement and programming it to match your vehicle is expensive. Good luck, if you get it all to work properly, please post back with the resistance values used at the various lights. Might make it easier for the next person.
