Default LED Turn Signal Problem





I have a 2009 Ultra with LED turn signals, not sure who's they are as I purchased the bike used and they we installed.


I went to go for a ride yesterday and notice the front left turn signal was not on when the bike was running, but the when I use the turn signal it flashed as it should.


Any ideas?

If you have 3 wires to the turn signal, obviously ground and led are good. Check to see if the wire freding the rinning light voltage is good. Also, swap leds from left to right and see if problem switches too.

Looks like the LED "run" is dim? If so most likely it will need replacing. I had one go bad that way.

Just guessing but it looks like it might be a Custom Dynamics LED

If I were you Id check out superbrightleds.com. They have everything. Yours looks like it an 1157 base (offset pins) or 1156 (not offset pins). They have a 1 piece bulb with the same face as yours is but without all the exposed wires. plug and play, you can even pick different brightness too if you want to go brighter.

Call custom dynamics lifetime warranty brighter then anything out there also. Plug and play like you have now.

What are the green dots on some of the LED bulbs?
Does that indicate a status of working to non-working LED?
