I'm glad to help. Let me know how it works out.

 

I know this is an old post but I just started having this problem, and will try this reset.
Thanks forum.

 

Wondering, does this Resetting need done with stock lights after replacing the battery.?


I have erratic turn signal cancelling, some times they cancel right after turning, but at other times they will flash 14-15 times after turning, thats 200 ft or so and after I've shifted into third or forth.

I just read this and I am thinking I never had the any problem of them taking so long cancelling till I changed the battery.

 

Odd...didnt work for me...I will have to try that again.

 

Did you swap out both the fronts and the rears? I just put CD inserts in the back, leaving the front alone 'cause I plan on replacing them with something else down the road a bit with the apes project. I had zero issue with fast flash, red warning lights, etc. It's a '13 Slim, so should be apples to apples with your scoot. Makes me wonder if I'll have an issue later on when I swap out the fronts for LEDs...

 

No havent done the tails yet...Wednesday is when they get here. Makes sense...will try that again once I get em installed.

 

Both of these only apply if you have a 2011 and up Softail. The older bikes that do not have a can bus system still require a load equalizer.

The reason is that the older bikes use a mechanical flasher to drive the turn signals. When there is less resistance from the bulbs, the flasher can move easier, thus making the lights blink faster. The load equalizers just add resistance back into the circuit to prevent this.

With the can bus bikes the turn signals are operated by the BCM. It is a computer that sends the voltage to the lights. When it sees low resistance it maintains the signal rate at the bulbs, but flashes quicker on the dash to warn you that a bulb is out.
