Default Needs some quick help

Guys looking for some help. I installed the led tail lights that mount to the bags that come with the quick disconect kit that is for my 2014 limited. Everything works fine but when I turn on my turn signals the green arrows on the dash rapid blink but both the front and rear turn signal lights blink at a normal rate. What in the world would make the green arrows blink faster than the lights themselves. Thanks in advance

Are they custom Dynamics? I was told by them it takes a little while for the signals to, for lack of a better term, sync up.

Mine did the same thing but after a week or two it corrected itself. As long as the front and rear indicators are signaling correctly, I wouldn't worry.

Try turning on your 4 way hazards for 5 minutes.

Report back.

I did the 4 way flasher thing a few times when I installed them almost a year ago. Have done it a few more times since. The green arrows still flash 4 times normal, then start flashing fast. The lights themselves have been flashing correctly every time I have leaned back and checked. FWIW, they work correctly when the T/P is installed. I quit worrying about it.

Ok guys I am reporting back. Left the four ways on for 5+ minutes and it did not work. Jimmy = that's exactly what is going on with mine. I guess it's nothing to worry about so I will try and not let it bother me. Thanks again

Put the Key in on position and have your flashers on for about 5 MIN. With the CAM system installed by HD it will re program the flasher on its own. So no load equalizer needed... Thanks Harley Davidson. Best of luck
