Need led help
Need led help
Hi gang,
2012 electra glide ultra limited. I'm converting all the lights to led. Got plug n play panels for the blinkers. Also got a plug n play load manager. Installed everything and now my blinker indicators on the dash light up solid. When I hit the blinkers all four flash. I'm also getting dim light on the rears when they're supposed to be off. I have 1157 amber panels for the front and 1156 red panels for the rear. I plugged the load manager into the harness for the rear lights. Am I missing something? Need some advice please. Mike

Which brand? I know custom dynamics load equalizer is supposed to work on bikes 13 and down but some special editions don't require the LE for some reason. Perhaps this is your case?
Contact the manufacturer and try to get an answer from them.
I would try removing the LE just for laughs and see if that makes the issue go away...

If I remove what I installed everything goes back to normal. If I remove the LE I still have the same problems but **** just blinks faster! Lol. I'm not sure what brand I have for the lights. Got them off fleabay
No idea what brand lights I have. Got them off fleabay. If I remove the LE I still have the same problems but **** just blinks faster.

Ok guys, found the problem.(I hope) it seems the load manager is either defective or not the right one for my bike. I contacted the seller and he's sending me another one to try. Now I didn't explain this part. With the LM unplugged, when I hit the blinkers button I get 3 normal speed flashes then it goes into rapid flash. Should I be looking for an led flasher instead of a load manager? Do I need both? I have a feeling the replacement load manager is going to produce the same results. Mike
Well I was right. The new equalizer arrived today. Plugged it in and have the same problem. Now what?

I had the same thing on my Blackline...the "dash" light would flash fast but the lights themselves would flash at a normal speed. I just ignored it.
Are your turn lights flashing fast or just the dash light or both? Personally, as long as it's flashing, I'd be okay with it.
