It is a TSM or HFSM on that year, it is located under the seat near the battery.

So someone did you the "favor" of installing aftermarket crap that screws up the speed and bank angle cancellation and bypassed the start circuit portion of the TSM. Nice! Not sure why someone would go with that setup but it's your ride mod it as you will.

Your question was "Where is the turn signal relay location on an 08 Street Glide?"

The answer is still the same, there is no such thing as a turn signal relay...on any Harley.

I asked you in post #2 to tell us your issue and offered help, but you chose to ignore us.

Now, once again, do you have an issue that maybe we could help you with?

I installed led turn signals and developed “hyper flash” so I asked here where the relay was located. One of you wise all knowing gentlemen informed me that Harley doesn’t use a relay and what I needed was a load equalizer.
Now that I’ve installed a load equalizer, you’re still calling me an idiot?

Was there a recommendation in your snarky response? Any HELP would be appreciated. :thumbsup:
