LED Turn Signal Problems
I swapped out the stock bulbs for LED inserts on my 2013 Road King. 3 of them work and my right rear does not. I switched the left and right side LEDs and it is not a bulb issue. I installed a load equalizer so it is not a fast flash problem. The LED insert does not flash when I have my signal on. The front right flashes normally. I do notice that the bulb does a short almost half flash as I'm turning the ignition off, and then does not flash when they flash for the security system. Strangest thing is that when I put the stock bulb back in, everything works correctly. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be the problem? Thanks!

LEDs are sensitive to polarity, standard bulbs don't care. Try reversing the wires for that socket and see what happens. The weak flash during power up, however has me wondering about a weak ground. Don't know why that wouldn't make the standard bulb be flaky also, although it can't react to a brief shot of voltage the way an LED can.
