Question New sidecar added to 2011 Ultra Classic

My husband just had a motorvation sidecar added to his 2011 Ultra Classic and now we are having issues with his left turn signal. It will blink normal speed for about 3 times then will start blinking very fast. Has anyone ever had this issue if so what did you do to fix it. Or does anyone know what we can do. We have already checked the bulbs they are all good. We do not have LED lighting.

Check for a bad bulb again one may look good test good but still be bad . cause rapid . Other wise it could be connects where they wire it for the hack.
Enjoy your sidecar.

maybe these links will help ... You said no LED lights, but it's worth a read/try.

You need to remove the right turn signal bulb from the rear of the motorcycle. The flasher-module cannot flash two bulbs on one side and three on the other.

I had a sidecar on a 2000 Heritage; I could not get the turn on the sidecar to flash; there was too much resistance with regular bulbs. I changed to sidecar bulb to an LED and that solved the problem; the lower resistance of the LED let the turn signal module operate normally.

Solved! Great solution, making modern technology work with us for once.
