Replacing front blinkers
I'm adding new front blinkers with fog lights and mounting bar. My left rear blinker is working but not the left front. The right front and rear does not work. They all worked before. Not now. Any ideas would be great. The headlight has a yellow and white wires. The original blinker wires are black. The new blinker wires are black, red, green. The fog lights have a brown wire and a green wire. I connected the blinker wires and they stay on, as marker lights but when I turn on the left blinker, only the left rear blinker comes on. The left front blinker attempts to blink but not that noticeable unless you look real close. The right blinkers front and rear do not come on when I press the blinker button. Can someone please help.

So...you replaced signals on a Evo.....what (year, model)?
Also, what kind of new blinkers/fogs, do you have schematic/service manual?
Need to throw us a bone here, if you want decent responses...

How did you make the new connections?? Solder for crimp?
Make sure you have the new wires hooked up to where they are supposed to go and not crossed somewhere.
Did you accidentally knock loose the connector to the TSM?

Turn signals on my '94 Softail have no ground wire (they're grounded through the housing to the frame or forks).
If the left front blinker is blinking, but not visibly, you probably have the turn signal and running light wires reversed, so the "bright" filament is lit all the time, and the dim filament is trying to blink. Recheck your connections with the service manual.

Stop, walk away from the bike and find the installation instructions.
They are out there somewhere you just gotta find them.
