I know it's a bit after Easter already... so here is a how-to get the hidden feature out of a TapTurn flasher module. This works on any module sold that has programmable number of blinks.

It's an undocumented additional mode for emergency flashers that is a mash-up of the two other new modified hazard modes (wig wag, and slow motion) put together: you get slow wig-wag!

You can, if you're quick and well timed, produce a slowed down wig-wag (half speed), by first putting the car into wig-wag mode (hazards on, stalk up in the signal right direction).... then quickly drop the signal stalk down to the signal left position. You have to do this action as one motion not really pausing through the neutral position, just move through like it's not there.. And you have to time this just right, in a certain phase of the wig-wag cycle. A little experimentation and perhaps many tries is in order.. to get success.

Please don't break a signal stock trying to do this! It's not force that matters, speed of transition and timing - like delicate track work - is what matters. I find that by putting two fingers on the stalk close to the hinge point and "flicking" the stalk down to the left position, is a good approach with best chance of success.

Any luck?

In my initial testing, I noticed this case and couldn't decide if it was a bug or a feature. I decided in the end to leave it in the product, because it's pretty harmless and maybe even helpful for some driving situations... "pace car mode" anyone? I dunno.

I haven't bothered trying to find or define the exact point in the cycle at which to flick the stalk down. I know I could be studying the code, but some mystery is good in life. Kudos goes to the person who can explain this back to me in precise terms that leads to more assured success when a slow wig-wag is desired.
