Default High/low beam short



Hey guys im new here and plan on sticking around ... i hate to be cliche in the world of forums by starting off my first post with a cry for help but I really don't know if I have an issue with wiring or the LED conversion five and three quarter headlight that I bought period maybe you guys have some insight on my issue and I can get this solved. Sooo i played by the rules to convert my h13 dual headlights to a single h4 wisamic (amazon) head light. I bought the HD bucket with harness and mounting block. Mind you I've never had this issue with the lighting . Okay, so on hot days in slow traffic EITMS is cutting in and out , eventually I'll get a code on my fp3 tuner showing high/ low beam short and the high beam icon will stay lit up but the lights will continue to work normally. This only has happened twice in the past week of having the new set up... should I be concerned? Is the Led light overheating? Any ideas buds?

I would recommend including your year/model in your signature line so others know what bike you're talking about. It looks like a Sportster.

I would also recommend posing this question on the Sportster page as those really experienced with each individual model tend to hang out on their respective pages.

Have you chased the wires with a multi-meter to verify a short?

Its a 2014 Dyna Fat Bob , converted the dual headlight to a single using a the Harley bucket , part# 67700093B , the harness from the bucket is a direct plug and play to the main harness in the frame.
