Default THINK I SCREWED UP...TURN SIGNALS
Ok, I posted this in the softail section, but thought i might get some additional help here....
I removed my front turnsignals, because i have the lighted buckshot mirrors. when i did this i checked to make sure my mirror lights and signals were working, and they were.
howver, when i went for a ride yesterday, i noticed the indicator in my dash would flash increasingly mor rapid then shut off. what did i do, and is it a problem, or is there an easy fix?

Sounds like you changed the load on the TSM. You may need a load equalizer to correct it.
