Default Solid red light.WTH

Had front and rear turn signals powdercoated. Put back together. Now red security light is on. Left arrow blinks fast but signals and tail lights work. However the rear bottom fender light and license plate light doesn’t work. I haven’t had time to dive in. Any thought?

2019 Roadglide.

Sounds like the wires in the tail light weren't put back properly. Had a similar issue with mine.

Sorry. read the original post again. the wires in the front turn signal could be messed up as well. There are three wires in each light, front/back and if not put back properly your lights may do crazy stuff. Double check that the wires are installed correctly.

Strange light problems can often be traced to a bad ground connection.

The lights blinking fast is probably okay once you fix the lights that are not working.

Thanks for quick help. Front left turn signal wasn’t “clocked” correctly. I noticed when my front running lights were not on. Since the left blinker was blinking fast and the rear turn/brake bullet lights worked, I was suspicious of front left signal. Code also said front circuit not complete or something like that. Quick fix had to remove fairing and left signal. “Reclocked” the connections and bam. All lights worked.
