electrical gremlin
Hi guys - this is my first post here - usually on the softail side.
Bought a 94 wide glide for a winter project and am very pleased with it so
far, only had 6k showing but who knows. Runs great and everything works
excep the turn signals, all the lights work and the switch test shows they
are good, the rear lights blink fine but the front lights light but do not blink
also the front lights are dim losing 1.3 volts from batt to lights.. anyone
have any ideas.....

Welcome to Evo ownership!
Likely problems are poor ground connectors, a damaged wire, rusty bulb holders, iffy bulbs. If you know the rear lights work fine, try swapping the rear bulbs to the front. If there is no change start the witch hunt! Work from the bulb holders along each wire, checking as you go. Dismantle every connector, clean and reassemble, then check again.
Best of luck.

I had a similar fault it turned out to be a corroded
Connection on orange wire going into plastic plug
On flasher unit attached to front fork?
It looked fine at rear of plug and at other end it was slightly rotten in middle causing short.
A quick wiggly sorted it but not for long?
I decided to rewire using moto gadget m unit
Not too difficult to do once got head round way it works
