Will part #C57003 fix the hyper rv trailer lites when using my 2013 Ford Escape as a tow vehicle? Signal and brake lights are annoying.

Expert Reply:
You have a couple options to solve the hyperflashing problem you are experiencing with your 2013 Ford Escape when towing your RV. You can either use a product like the part # C57003 or you can take your vehicle to a Ford dealer and they will do a software update on your vehicle which should fix the problem.
There should be a technical service bulletin that said that trailers with LED taillights can cause the Escapes to hyper flash and they can fix it if you bring the vehicle in to them.
