Weird turn sig issue
Just relocated my front sigs from the bars to the front downtubes.Cut and spliced the wires due to being ran through T-bars from previous owner,and didn't want to disassemble the whole harness-not that I didn't try.Anyway,now when I turn on the left signal,it blinks at a normal pace for about 4 flashes,then fast blinks.I've tried them numerous times,and it's always the same.I redid the rear sigs as well-just shortened the stalks,but did add about 2"of wire.The right side works fine,and I am still using the OEM sigs.Any ideas?I'm aware of the load equalizers,but would I need one with the stock sigs?

What kind of lights,LED or incandescent? This sounds like a loading issue...did you change the front or rear turn signal bulbs to LED? Are you CERTAIN that you got the wires connected back the same way as before?

No LEDs.Positive on the connections.

I have a flasher system with bright LED rear lights and when I also replaced my front signals with LED plug-ins, the turn signals did exactly the same thing you are describing. I located a load equalizer for it and it now works like it is supposed to so that is why I thought about loading.
If the turn signals were all working good before you relocated the front ones, and you haven't changed bulbs or anything else, then you should go back over where you spliced them back in and make certain your connections are secure and correct.
If you don't have a wiring diagram, you can do a google search or search this site for one.
