Default LED turn signals

So I decided to buy from custom dynamics the turn signal conversion to LED lights since I loved how well It lit up my Ultra before. Got the slim load equalizer also and all I get is the turn signals lit up, turn function does not work. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

You can never go wrong with Custom Dynamics products.

I can't give you much insight into your current problem, but I would recommend contacting Custom Dynamics. Their customer support is as good as it gets.

I'm going guess that they either sent you a bad Load EQ or that they wired up the harness wrong. It came as plug & play with harness connectors, right? Should be pretty much idiot-proof.

I had to build whole new wiring harness for my tail light set up and their stuff still worked on the first try, so I think the problem is most likely in their parts.

I'd tend to agree with HoggyMtnBreakdown. Unless you already have a Run / Brake / Turn module installed? That should be the only way the rear turns have power when the turn signals aren't activated. If you do have a R/B/T module, I think I remember reading in the CD instructions that it needs to be installed downstream (on the rear harness side) of the stabilizer to work right....

I do have a R/T/B module on it already. I installed it both up and downstream and neither one worked. Getting on the phone with them shortly to see.
