Turn Signals 1984FLHS
1984 FLHS mine quit flashing. They were working fine.
They all light but do not flash. I guess this eliminates bad bulb.
I'm think flasher module. Is it located inside the head light nacellel?
Has anyone installed the flasher from
http://www.badlandsmotorcycleproduct...cts/BETCSM.htm
That cancels after 9 seconds or can be cancel manual for lane changes. It's about 70 bucks, I'm not sure it is worth it.

I'ld also bet it was the flasher unit. I've never converted to the new style auto turn off types yet. I'm still using the ones that quit when you take yer thumb off the button! But I've a friend who has converted on a 81 wg and he loves it. I buy my signal units at NAPA. Car types work just fine. Cheap too... I cant remember where the unit is on the FLHS. My 71 FLH was inside the nacelle. I would check your motor manual before you start taking anything apart. May save a few steps..

Yup, but it could last 50 years or 5 days. With electronics ya just never know!!
By the way, thank you for your service! I did 22 years in what my son-in-law calls the 'chair force'! 1973-1995.
Good luck!

Thanks, great picture. I beleive it is the one on my left as I look at the picture. Orange wire and green wire. The one with two yellows is 4 -way flasher. I don't think my FLHS has the 4 ways. Not by the manual anyway and I do not know how to turn them on if it does, lol.
Thanks ALOT!!!

After having no indicators for some time I decided to fit the badlands module.
Fitted them up and all worked great and due to a bunch of warnings on the instruction sheet I TRIPLE checked the wiring when I wired the module in but I didn't get to ride the bike for a few weeks and when I finally got to take it for a ride the indicators worked great for about an hour until the module caught on fire.
Not much fun when on a very narrow road with no where to stop and a cane-truck behind you!!!
So now running the good old flasher can and am down the cost of the module which now has a hole burnt through it!
