None of that. It was just the chime that appears after 1 mile driving because the control module thinks you're still operating the turning lights. It was really annoying. I changed the cf12anl to an EF32 and this problem dissappeared. And i also got the clicking sound back while turning, which isn't happening with an purely electronic flasher (and, of course, mandatory for German TÜV).

It's strange that cf12anl in my car doesn't work, in your works but turn on chime,

What year is your car?

Also The most strange thing it is: my cark works when tailight only is led. If front parking light led bulbs are in (amber) won't work

Mine is a 1995.
When in doubt add some resistors to the front or back LEDs. I know this is contrary to the idea of using less power with LEDs, but of what use are LEDs when nothing works? );

Are you using this one? I know I called and spoke to their tech department and it was a super short conversation when I said I have a 1996 C4 Corvette and the tech guy said, "We do not have anything that will work on your car"
