Turn signal switch question???
I have to hold the switch for my turn signals down in order for them to stay on. Is there any way to get the switch that to stay on till it is turned off? I have a 1988 FLHTC.

Just think, you won't be one of those people riding down the road with their turn signal still on,like I did with my newer bike. I'm forgetful...
I like my 86 turn signal..... however someone will be along to help,I'm sure it can be done.

Spanners39 has a lot of experience with the Badlands aftermarket tssm. He has retro-fit these to older even shovel era bikes. I'm not aware of him ever posting a diagram. Hint hint, uncle spans.
He is in NZ so his time frame is different. Good Luck!

The earliest Auto canceler I could find was in a 91 FLHTC. I couldn't find any earlier documentation. Maybe that part of your wiring harness could be upgraded to accept the later model auto canceler... If you have your manual check your wiring harness to that of a 91. Or maybe wire in a time delay relay, one for each side..

I do have a manual with 91 wiring in it. I'll have to check in to that.

The simplest way of upgrading your flashers is indeed a Badlands module - they make a wide variety.

my '82 FXRS has that as well. ( have to hold ) well I changed stock signals for something less obtrusive ( signals in license plate bracket ) and then they didn't work at all, unless, you manually pushed button on-off-on-off etc. got a badlands voltage regulator or what ever it was called and problem solved. ( still have to hold button though) so, its sucks but could be worse. like others have said, you can update them pretty simple.

Thanks for all the info. I found that Badlands and Signal Dynamics make the modules. Anyone have any feedback on Signal Dynamics modules. They have a nice feature on theirs. The longer you hold the button down the longer it will flash before shutting off.
