The sockets will probably fit. The original bulb was a 3457 but the LED switchback I installed is a 3157.

Would this work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/4157-Load-Resistor-3157-For-Switchback-LED-Turn-Signal-Light-Fix-Hyper-Flash-X2/112986164734?hash=item1a4e800dfe%3Ag%3AkQ8AAOSwNpRb5UCR&fbclid=IwAR278FApkg5jA5f77JrUFJd9tD4cnrfrGjw7SjpdAUqjMDpJ5oST0HwxZjI

I found plug and play versions on ebay.

I have a pack of 2 load resistors I got from walmart. Installing them seems simple. It says to install them away from anything heat sensitive. Which wire do i tap into on the signal bulb connection & what spot would you suggest I attach the resistors to? I’ve seen 3 wires. This is what i got from Walmart. https://www.walmart.com/ip/SYLVANIA-Load-Equalizer-Pack-of-2/52621707

This is what I’m upgrading to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-3-Pin-LED-Adjustable-Car-Flasher-Flash-Relay-Turn-Signal-Light-Indicator-US/312086598379?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

They exist. I see them in ebay. Where is mine at?

I have a 2011 Ford Fusion SE. Does anybody know where the flasher relay is? I upgraded my turn signal bulbs to LED & they’re hyper flashing. I read that to correct it is to either install load resistors or upgrade the flasher relay to one that’s LED rated. I’m opting for the LED relay upgrade since that’s easy & simple. Looking in my manual, I can’t seem to locate which relay it is & its location. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Remote start question
The Duke replied to The Duke's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Are high current relays needed? Both are showing compatible with my car. -
I have an ‘11 Fusion SE that I’ll eventually have remote start installed. Which is better - Viper DS4 Compustar RS1B-DC3.

I have a 2011 Ford Fusion & this is what I'm experiencing. I removed the little trunk rectangular dome light to replace the factory bulb with a spare LED bulb that I had so it would be brighter. The domelight did arc some while removing it from part of the bulb connector touching the metal part of my car. The LED bulb stopped working. I put the factory bulb back in & it didn't light up. The 2 map lights in the front of my car only come on when I open the door or rotate the dimmer up. They wont turn on with the black push button. The rear map lights won't come on at all. I checked the #9 15 amp fuse & it was fine. Did I blow another fuse? Not sure what the issue is or if the LED bulbs aren't compatible with my car. I trie LED bulb in the front map light fixture. No such luck with them. Do I need a load resistor?

I spoke to the parts dept of my local Ford dealer. He confirmed that the Zerex brand I pirchased & posted pics of, IS compatible with the type spec in my owner’s manual. I’ll be doing a complete flush fill.
-
Here’s a pic of the front & back of what I purchased. It seems to be the one. It does say formulated for Ford passenger cars from the 2004 - 2011 model year. Mine is a 2011 model year. I did see this particular coolant on another fusion forum topic as well.
-
I did get Zerex G-05. My car has 56k on it. The coolant actually looks good in it. Would it be reasonable if I just did a drain/fill & did the flush @ 100k?
-
How did you drain your 2012? I’m sure it involves the petcock valve.

I’ m looking to do a flush fill on my ‘11 Fusion SE. 4 cyl. From what I’ve read is that it’s not hard to do. Any tips or help would be appreciated. I’ve never done this before & would like to do it myself versus paying a high price at the dealer.. The pic is what I’ve purchased.
