2000 Night Train TSM Question
Does anyone out there know what the minimum electrical load that the TSM on a 2000 FXSTB Night Train must see in order for the module not to act like there is a bulb burned out?
My Night Train had all of the original turn signals removed and a aftermarket tail light with turn indicators in it put in. I have added back turn signals on the front similar to but not OEM style. I made a new harness for the rear fender due to the poor wiring after the previous hack job. I also installed a new TSM.
All of my turn signals work, but only for about 15-20 minutes, then they stop flashing. They all still light when I hit the switch, they just quit flashing. It is acting like a bulb is burned out.
I am stumped. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for the response, I finally got one!
For those of you out there that don't seem to get many or any responses from these forums, you might want to check out hdbitchin.com they seem much more responsive at least in my case.
So while I didn't get my question answered exactly I was encouraged by several posters that I needed to add a Load Equalizer to bring the system back to factory electric load levels. I went to Dennis Kirk yesterday and picked up a $20 Load Equalizer and installed it this morning. Everything finally seems to be working.
Here's a link to the one I purchased and installed https://www.denniskirk.com/signal-dy...prd/214493.sku
Unfortunately the initial question I posed remains unanswered, and the engineer in me would prefer to know what the minimum electrical load must be for the (T)urning (S)ignal (M)odule to not think that there is a bulb burned out. While I realize I may never find out this value definitively, I can say for certain that it is somewhere > 30 watts < 53.8 watts.
Thanks again, time to ride finally!
