Default Fatboy signal help
I have a 2001 Fatboy FLSTF. I bought it used and the signals don't work. Fronts, rear, hazards. When it's on accessory and ignition same thing, nothing. From what I can tell the wiring looks fine. No blown fuses. Bike starts, runs and rides as normal. Headlight and brake light works.
All bulbs and units themselves are good. On the cluster no indication of signals when I try them.


Any ideas?

Great, thanks guys! My last question, is it as simple as buying a new one, unplugging the old one and plugging in the new one and that's it?

It should be plug and play to correct your turn signal issue. If I'm correct, I believe your bike also has factory security installed which also utilizes the turn signal module. I don't know if replacing this module will affect the security working correctly on the bike.

Default Turn signal module
Be aware of the TSM you buy, you need to mate passwords, and if you have security, the module is a different part number, than if you do not have security, recently had same problem, bought and installed myself, took a few tries, got it on the forth try you can YouTube the instructions if you don’t have a manual, good luck, be patient.
