Default SOLVED: Rear turn signals not working

I have a 2023 CVO road glide. I had a tour pack added initially when I first bought the bike New. Everything worked just fine. Just recently, my friend noticed that my turn signals on the rear were not working. When I turn on the turn signals, they will flash one flash, but that is all. That means the filler light turn signals, the Tour # pack lights, and also the saddleback turn signal lights all do the same thing. One flash and that is it. The front turn signals work fine, and I do notice the flash indicator on the dash flashes quicker than I believe should be normal, which usually indicates some sort of a problem. I have an appointment to get looked at, but not until July and I’d like to get this thing cleared up beforehand if it’s something simple. I do have a custom dynamics triple play on it, which allows you to personalize the flashes when it goes into breaking mode. Anybody give me some insight as to what to look for? Thanks.

First thing to try is to eliminate CDs triple play from the picture and see if things "fix themselves".

Yeah, I would disconnect the Triple Play module and eliminate that before I went any further. That comes under the old adage of "What's changed?"

And if removing the Triple Play fixes the problem, contact Custom Dynamics and see what they have to say. My customer service experience with them has always been good.

I got it all figured out this afternoon. I had pulled off the triple play, and that didn’t eliminate the problem. And I totally unhooked the lights I had on the back of the saddle bags problem went away. So apparently that module bit the dust, which is no shame. I’ve had the same lights on either three or four Bikes. I was going to go to the low profile ones anyhow so this just hurried up in my ordering the new ones. Thank y’all for your input on this problem.

Glad that you found the problem and posted a response. Good luck with your new lights.

What brand of saddlebag lights were you using.

I thought they were Custom Dynamics but dont quote me on that. They were the thicker ones, about 1" or so in height. So I ordered the this line ones from CD, they came today and all installed and working well.
