Yesterday was a perfect riding day here on the Texas gulf coast and my son and I rode down from Houston to Galveston, down the Blue Ocean Highway, and on over to Brazoria to visit a friend...about a 200 mile round trip on backroads.
We stopped down the coast in Jamaica Beach for lunch and as I was backing up, my foot slipped on some gravel and over I go over on the left side before I had a chance to regain my footing.
Bruised ego, some nasty bruises on my legs (blood thinners), and a cracked rear turn signal lens. I picked it up and checked it all out and noticed my run/turn/brake signals were not working.
Went on over to my friend's place and started looking and realized that the Custom Dynamics Triple Play run/turn/brake module was NFG. I surmise that when the turn signal mount twisted, it damaged and shorted the wires and smoked the module. I took it out and had brake and turn signals but no run on the turn signals. No big deal, brake and run lights work on the center light and the turn signals work so I am legal.
I was looking for a replacement for it this morning and notice that according to the specs on the CD Website, these things are supposed to have short fault protection...well, this one didn't.
If it ain't one damn thing, it's another...

Lifetime warranty... CD will replace it, no questions asked.
i had that happen in my sportster, i guess i cracked it or something. Took a minute to figure out what the deal was. Figured it out by doing what you did, pulled it out of the systwm and checked everything. Told them, the rushed another out to me.
can't find the post about it but, i think it is in the "what did you do to your sportster today" thread... stuff gets lost in those threads.
A couple of bad accidents have left me with very little strength in my feet and ankles, l've got a handful of brake and clutch levers with the ball ends broken off from incidents similar to yours....
Man that just sucks! I don't know what your foot wear is like but I found that a stiff "boot" sole don't allow my foot to roll from toe to heel when backing up and noticed it would slip out from under me at times so I went with a more flexible sole type setup.
I don't pull into gravel lots period. If they have a gravel lot I don't do business there. Fortunately all my friends have driveways of asphalt. Solves that problem as I ran into those footing issues many years ago. Just void it like the plague.
