Run/Turn/Brake module question....

I have a 94 Flstn special, I installed a rear run/turn/ brake module with the pulsating brakes, I solder the wires per the instructions and to make sure I used my Harley oficial factory manual book, every thing works as is supost to, but when I aply the brakes the headlight and front signal light and fender tip light, barley pulsates just like the rear ones. I check and make sure that I have a good ground. What else can I do or check.... the kit is from Kuryakyn.
Thanks alot for eny help !!!!

That is your problem.
I bought 3 things from Kuryakyn. All 3 were junk.

It never hurts to try.

Take it off your bike and take it with you and tell them it is defective.
That is my suggestion.

Check the ground to the headlight circuit as well. Jumper it to the motor and see if it stops.

This means that you would also need to purchase a 8 pin hardwire adaptor to convert your stock plug over to the 8 pin used on the 4859. This would be required for all softails '91-'95. However it sounds like you may have wired this in without the adaptor. correct? If that is the case there are a few things you can check.

Try grounding the controller separate from the main harness. to do this reconnect the ground wire (instead of having the controller in-line with it) then run each ground wire from the controller to a good chassis ground.

Most issues on the older bikes will be solved by doing that.

If that doesn't solve your issue, you can contact our tech department Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm central standard time and they can assist you over the phone in finding and fixing the problem.

All of our products INCLUDING electrical are covered for one year from the date of purchase. So if it is a warranty issue it is covered under warranty by returning to original place of purchase.
