Flash-to-pass mod?

My '01 Ex does not have the option to "flash to pass". For those who don't know, FTP is pulling back on the column stick that toggles between high and low beams. Is my truck not functioning properly? If the Ex's don't normally have that feature, is there a mod for it?

There's something wrong with your switch or wiring.

You're sure your high beams are working?

High beams are definitely functioning properly. I've never had a lighting issue and from what I can tell, no modifications were made to the wiring associated with the lights. BTW, lamps are oem, no mods.

Yes, that's it. You might want to try an auto parts store. The last time I changed one it cost less than that one on Amazon, and it was in stock.
