No front turn signals
My front turn signals/ running lights on my 04 Wideglide quit working. I had an issue before with the connector under the tank in the frame and fixed it. There is no power even to that connector. I have been modifying the rear fender and signals. The turn signal indcator comes on when I push either button. When the signal indicator comes on it starts normal (slow/ steady) but then speeds up. I have no idea what is going on. Any ideas?

Either a burnt bulb or if you're now running LEDs with out the load equalizer it will do that. With the LEDs using less power the bike thinks the bulb is dead, which is why you need the load equalizer.

It's not the bulbs, I tried new ones and both sides are not working. The turn signal or the running lights. I have the rear fender off including the turn signals and rear light, could that have an effect on the fronts? I will be replacing the rears with LED's. Is there a specific equalizer I need?

That might be your problem then. I haven't been in that situation, but you can always plug them in real quick and see if it works. Badlands makes a good load equalizer. I don't have one yet, but it's the way I'm going if my run/brake/turn module goes out. The badlanders runs as run/brake/turn sig module with a built in load equalizer. I've read nothing but great reviews on their product on the forum.
