Can someone tell me why LED turn signals won’t work on a 2014 Softail with the running light/brake light adapter installed? I have had them on my 06 Heritage and 05 FXST and they worked great. When I bought the pigtail, the parts guy said it wouldn’t work with LEDs and damned if he wasn’t right. Is there anything I can do to somehow make them work?

 

You probably need a load equalizer, should be a place to plug one into your running light/brake light adapter. My run/brake/blinker adapter has a plug and came with the load equalizer to plug in if I ever go with LEDs.

You will need to unplug the run/turn/brake adaptor and pluG the load equalizer between it and the wiring harness going to the front of the bike. Just did this to mine.

 

Odd, a 14 shouldn't need an equalizer.

 

That’s what the dealer told me when we bought the bike. I was also told that LEDs wouldn’t work with the stop/run/turn pigtail on that bike but I can’t figure out why it doesn’t work and that’s everything as if it isn’t getting power. Like I said in my op, they worked fine on my 05 and 06 Softails.

 

+1...load equalizer not required on the '14 model.
The HD r/s/t adapter needs omitted, you'll lose the stop feature on the signals. If you want the r/s/t feature you'll have to purchase a smart triple play adapter for leds. Custom Dynamics makes one and HD usually has one in stock. I ran leds front and rear with the triple play on my '14
