hello again has anyone ever had any problem with their turn signals melting the lens after installing a led headlight
on a harley breakout. All the turn signals are not led and didn’t have this problem with stock headlight until I changed it to LED headlight

Nope. Mine is working just fine after I installed my Hogwerkz LED Head light. Have you done anything else to the lighting? What headlight did you install?

You're saying the you changed the headlight to led, left the turns stock and now the turns get so hot they melt the lenses? Do you have a voltmeter? Measure the voltage the turns are getting. I can't imagine what would cause that, first time I've heard of it

Not sure if there is a correlation between the 2. I thought they were separate circuits.

What year and model bike do you have and what else have you done to it? And yes, it is a separate circuit. Unless you changed the turn signal bulbs to a higher intensity incandescent or tapped into the turn signal circuit, what you are describing is technically impossible. Unless you damaged the turn signal/security system module somehow. Does the bike have the security system installed?

Default help with electrical please

Hope alls having a good weekend im having a issue and have to change my ignition on my 2014 fxsb. no security or alarm i have two wires going to ignition and one ground and one that is a ignition input to the bcm. I am looking to see if i can install the m-lock from motogadget for a ignition replacement. Does the wire to the bcm connect to the 30 spot from the relay? If someone could clarify this id be very thankful

As a heads up....

You should start your own thread for your question...

It's considered improper to take over someone else's thread, with an unrelated question...

It's referred to as "hijacking a thread"....

You'll get better info and responses that way too....

Make sure to use a short, descriptive heading about your problem, like "2014 FXSB Ignition switch question"... it will allow those with knowledge of your problem to zero in your post..
