Default Fast blinker?

I installed an amp several months ago. Was getting a few error codes and the right rear light not working. Swapped out the turn signals for LED and the issue appears to be fine.

Weird thing is last week while out I noticed the turn indicator starts blinking fast. I stopped to look and the actual signals are fine. Didn’t see any codes when I checked at home.

Thoughts?

I'm thinking it's the 2016 he has listed.
Have the dealer flash the control module or do the selflearn.
I think you turn on the ignition and activate the emergency flashers for a minute.
But I could be wrong.

Yes it's a 2016 Road Glide. Thanks, I'll look into the selflearn (rather not take it to the dealership if I can help it).

Call the LED company to see if you may need a Load Equalizer for your bike.

Did you install the amp, and is it the BOOM! Audio system amp? If so you need to take it to the dealership for some programming and while they are at it they can ensure that your turn signals are set to LED as they are a BCM option. I worked as a service technician at the local dealership and have done many maps and LED light conversations.
