Default 2012 super glide dash issue


Having an issue with the little dash under the speedo any ideas?
oil like and right side blinker come on and off, no neutral indicator and said right side blinker doesn't correlate with using the blinker.
oil light with blink with the left and right blinker.

I think the right side blinker light is acting as the neutral light and oil like is blinkers

No bulbs, if you haven't made any recent changes to the bike that could have affected this you will probably have to replace the entire led unit but I have never heard of this issue. Any codes?

Was it this way since you've owned it or did it just start acting up? Need a little more background.

Yea, it's a single LED unit. Believe there's a known issue w some indicators (right side maybe) not working cause a failed solder joint. Not sure about them just acting flakey like that tho

The circuit card likely has the 5 LEDs and current limiting resistors.. There may be some additional circuitry but I'd suspect very little.. Each circuit is likely noting more than 12V to a LED to a resistor to wire going to the Speedo. The can bus goes only to the speedo.. The speedo drives each circuit low to enable the LED.

If those LEDs are on all the time then there is likely a short to ground on the board or cable. If they only come on with the ignition, I'd suspect that some of the pins are shorted together on the connector or PCB. I'd pull the connector going to the Speedo and check that first. With the speed connector pulled, all the lights should got out. You can ground pins 1,4,6,10,12 to light the induvial LEDS. I'd do it through a 470 ohm resistor just in case the currenting limiting resistors are not on the display board.
