Default Hazzards flash after LED install

I've got a 2003 Super Glide, I've been running an integrated LED taillight for the last several years. Today I installed custom dynamics front turn signal inserts along with custom Dynamics stabilizer module. Now when I turn the key everything works, but the hazzards flash quickly 6 times. Everything i've found online so far points to it throwing a code, however when I check codes every one of them is listed as clear. It may or may not be of use to note that I have not ridden the bike since the install (it's a bit cold in Wyoming), but I did start it. There is also no key fob or security system.

I think you need 4 Load equalizers. 2 for the running lights and 2 for the turn signals.
I'm not sure because I have an older bike but I think it's telling you you have a bulb out because it's not seeing the load withthe LED's.

That's what I thought, double checked the info and it says requires 1 per bike. I even have the option to up the load on my stabilizer, did that with the same results

odd update. So I put the stock bulbs back in the front turn signals and disconnected the load equalizer and when I turned the key the hazards still flashed 6 times. I tried it with the load equalizer (I do still have the LED taillight/turn signals, still flashed. Then I plugged the equalizer back in, put the LED inserts back in, turned the key....and no flashing. No idea if it will stay that way or if the problem will continue. I'm going to try and go for a ride today if the wind can stay under 65mph, I will report back as to whether or not my random meddling has fixed my issue.

Seems like ans issue with the load equaliser not giving the required load.
Contact CD, they'll work with you.

I think I might have figured it out. I did end up having to up the load to get the signals to work properly, but I believe the flashing was because i didn't go through the synchronization steps again after changing the load like I was supposed to. After I reset everything and synchronezed it it hasn't happened since.

You beat me to it. Those symptoms sound a lot like sync issues.

Hey Wyotana, it sounds like you figured it out already, but I wanted to chime in and say that yes, it was probably a synchronization issue. If by chance any other problems occur, please just give us a call at 800-382-1388.
