Default Turn signal module

Good evening, I own a 2003 Harley Softail Heritage Classic. I recently decided to change out the incandescent bulbs for LED lighting. I have a funny feeling that the "TURN SIGNAL MODULE" is failing. I have copleteted the install of the LED'S, and all is good on the lighting, except for right side turn signals. I might have shorted out the "TURN SIGNAL MODULE" on the right side. I have looked high and low for the "TURN SIGNAL MODULE" but have yet to locate it. I"ve been all over the forum, and I've been told to look under the rear fender, NOTHING. I've looked around the battery, NOTHING. I've been told to look at the rear cylinder valve cover area, NOTHING. I bought a new TURN SIGNAL MODULE on JP-CYCLES, by using the parts locactor tool that only shows parts that apply to your bike.
So far, I only see one connector for the TURN SIGNAL MODULE on the bike but the one JP-CYCLES sent me has two connectors. I'm out of ideas!

OK, so all of the LED lighting is good EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT SIDE. WHAT is the problem with the right side turn signals? Hyper flashing, does not flash or does not light up. What T/S Modual do you have? Did you try to contact the manufacturer about the wiring? Did you read the instruction?

From looking at Ronnie's HD microfiche, it appears to be attached to the same mounting as your circuit breakers, wherever those are on your bike.

Turn Signal Module on the Softails of those years is located behind the rear fender plastic part inside the swingarm. You better raise the rear to have access to the two lower mounting bolts and then slide the plastic piece upward to take it out. And you must see the TSM (and some other electricals as far).

The TSM from JP with two connectors appears to be a wrong part. There is no that easy now to have a new TSM as they are discontinued.


Harley TSM looks like this
