Turn signal lane change ... is this normal?

[OBXGreek]

2023 Ranger Lariat. The turn signal lever lane change has been driving me crazy. Quick light bump it works fine 3 flashes … push too long and it short cycles, one or two blinks depending on how long I push. My previous F-150 and wife's edge does not do this, release before the third and it finishes 3 and done, hold past the third it keeps blinking. On my Ranger is order to get the normal lane change 3 blinks and for it to not short cycle I need to be quick, less than 1 blink and gentle on the turn level to get a correct 3 blink lane change. Is this typical for a ranger? Odd that it is not just like old F-150 or the edge. I keep changing lanes with one blink. This drives the OCD in me insane.

Get into FORScan and you can change how many times it Flashes when you just bump it. I always up mine to 4 instead of 3 flashes.

I've seen that option, but it would not fix my issue of the lane change being extremely fussy on how I bump the lever.

When did this become possible? Last I saw EVERYONE was trying to get this done but was saying it wasn't possible in FORscan. I was able to change mine to 5 on my GTI, was hoping to be able to do the same with my Ranger. Now I'll need to look into it.

Same on my 2021 XLT. I rarely ever get it to do the three blink.

I always thought 3 was insufficient. Good to know.

Thanks for the response to my question ... Guess it would not work to ask dealer to fix it then. You would think it would work like every other ford.

2023 Lariat. Works fine. Quick bump = 3 blinks.

Never seen mine blink more or less than 3 times without pushing it past detent...

i believe i accurately reflect the 3 flashes per bump crowd as well

Yes, Quick is the key! Mine works if your bump is quick. Really fussy compared to my previous F150 or our Edge which required no thought. Guess I need to be retrained to how the Ranger lane change rolls.

That's what I expected ... that is what I'm used to on other fords

ooh, my old car allowed 3, 5, or 7. I really like 5. Do you know where that setting is in forscan?
