Is there any way to wire the 2006-2010 explorer headlight flasher so it will not give me the "left headlight out" error? Or is there any manufacturers that make a system that will not cause the error? Any help would be great! Thanks!

Nope. Even with the solid-state flashers from SOS and Fed Sig, you'll get the error message. We've got various brand flashers on seven different Explorers, from 2006-2010, and have learned to just live with it. Doesn't seem to harm anything. Just hit the trip meter button to get rid of the error message and go back to displaying mileage, etc. after you arrive wherever you 're running hot to.
And make sure you use 60FPM flashers. My truck originally had a 90FPM flasher. Headlights didn't get a chance to reach full brightness before they went out again. Didn't work for shyt. Of course, that was the same install place that didn't silicone the holes under the luggage rack caps where then ran wires through so I had water coming out of my map lights the first time I went through a car wash.

Does your flasher have an Isolated Control Wiring Scheme? I have the Whelen SSFPOS flasher and have it wired using the "Isolated Control" scheme in a 2010 Ford Escape. I don't get the high beam indicator lamp flashing in the vehicle, which makes me think that the car doesn't even know the headlights are flashing. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Isolated control is a specific wiring setup with some whelen flashes to avoid the problem of the highbeam indicator coming on with each flash.... that may just work for this.
