Default Rocker C Signal problem

I have an 09 Rocker C , bone stock and the other day all of sudden the signal lights to left would flash a coupe of times at normal speed and then starts flashing rapidly. Replaced the front bulb didn't help, any suggestions would be appreciated as my dealer is less then helpful.

Take it back to the dealer and don't take "I don't know" for an answer...

Could be a ground short - I had that with a Sportster when I moved the turn signals. Would flash OK for a couple, then went to rapid, low level light, flashing.

I currently have the same issue with only the front L hand blinker. Problem was when I relocated them though, the 3 wires inside the housing are extremely touchy and the two wires that come in from the back that make contact with the bulb if they are not fully seated correctly....you get the intermittent blinker thing. Still need to fix it though...just not as fun to do.

Thanks guys, the dealer thinks it is the load equalizer. I will know more next week when they get it in.

I had the same problem with my left signals. They would flash 5 times regular speed and then flash quickly (the same way they do when one of your signals isn't working) even though they were all working . I bought a new fender off ebay (didn't want to chop the original) The new fender came with the turn signals. When I replaced the rear signals with the new ones it fixed the problem....so i'm assuming the the problem was in the actual signal itself. On the rocker the rear signals are LEDs and the whole signal has to be replaced instead of just a bulb.

yeah, the rear signals on the rocker are a joke. who ever designed them so the bulbs cannot be replaced should be slapped and then loose his job. $200+ to replace a light is f...ing ridiculous
