Hey all,
Having an issue with the front marker lamps on my '14 SGS
When I first turn the bike on the front markers light up just fine. Once I "accept" on the radio and fire the bike up the front marker lamps go out. Signals work fine, headlight is on, 4-way flashers work, and all the rear lighting works as it should.
I installed a Custom Dynamics Smart Triple Play but that should only dictate to the rear lamps. Also, being in Canada where we have the big ugly tail lamp and not the tri-bar, I installed led lights in the tri-bar housing and tapped into the printed circuit. Again, this should only have bearing on the rear lamps.
Any thoughts or suggestions on why the front running lamps die once the bike is running?
Thanks in advance,


PS-I also posted this in the electrical section AFTER I realized I'd posted it here. Sorry

 

Just start disconnecting your new add ones one at a time to see what is causing your problem.

 

Thanks GTK, that's the plan of attack for tonight.
The gf is installing her mini apes tonight so it'll give me something to do instead of just watching her and drinking beer. Ha, ha

 

So, I unplugged the harness under the seat-front markers stay on.
Unplugged the tri-bar outlet side-front markers stay on.
Plugged the tri-bar outlet side back in-front markers stay on.
Shut the bike off, let it sit a few minutes, fire it back up and the front markers stay on. Squeeze the brake and BAM, front lights out.
After trying a few things I removed the Smart Triple Play and everything is back to normal.
Guess I have a faulty unit.
It's the "universal" unit, not the plug & play but I do a LOT of wiring and know it was installed correctly.
I bought it at the Sturgis Rally and don't have the receipt any longer so I'm not even going to look at trying to get warranty.

 

You might give Custom Dynamics a call they are great people to work with.
Good Luck

 

I might do that Vernal.
I actually had this unit originally on my Deluxe and it worked great. I swapped it over to the Street Glide and ran into this issue.
Now I realize the '14 is a different unit so it's MY screw up.
