Default blinker problem

I put this over in the electrical section, but, you guys know your chit around here.... so here is the problem now,

The clips under the rear fender broke that hold the wires up off the tire AGAIN, so I had to solder everything back together.NOW, the blinkers wont blink on their own.If you manually push the button they work and the 4 way flashers work like they are suppose to. But if you hit \either turn signal button, they light up, but wont blink UNLESS you just keep hitting the button...any suggestions? Where is the blinker relay or the turn signal module? Has to be one of those went out...I think!

EDIT::: By the way, I put all LED'S on the bike, the control module and load equalizer, reason I done this? YOU WILL BE SEEN MORE %100 BETTER!! In my opinion of course.The rear turn signals are now running lights AND blinkers. Has 9 different settings AND WAS %100 plug and play!

this has nothing to do with the blinkers, it's doing that without the led's installed.

If it were me, since it started after wires pulled and were repaired, I'd start with checking for proper continuity in the wires making sure a wire isn't grounded or shorted where it shouldn't be, or just plugged into the wrong socket.

Does your module (for LEDs) allow you to disconnect the rear blinkers and try the fronts by themselves? I don't remember if that worked when I installed mine a couple years ago.

cheapest way to get really bright and reliable lights for replacements of 1156 / 1157 is to go to a Honda car dealer and get the Stanley bulbs with the zinc base:
front dir. & tail light with 34906-SL0-A01, rear dir: 34903-SF1-A01

The absolute first thing you should do is check your blinker fluid. Let us know if it's ok!

That plug-n-play module is probably NG, got shorted out when the wires got torn out. Unplug it and see if the lights do what they're supposed to do (without the run/brake/turn module).
I'm assuming it's after market, being a classic evo.

I didn't put the LED"S on until after I fixed the wires. I'm going to unplug it all today and put the stock stuff back and see what happens.. As far as the rear blinkers, it has 2 switches, flip one of the switches and turn the rear blikers OFF as running lights,if that what you mean mtlver..?

ALSO, THE BLINKER FLUID APPEARS TO BE JUST A LITTLE LOW!!
