The red key indicates (among other things) you have a light out.

Ok. But I don’t have a light out. And if I put the load equalizer on the red key goes away

Time to regroup. Take load equalizer off and put in the filiment bulbs (1156/1157) and see how things work.

Try leds in front and see if works. Then try leds in back (filiments back in front) and see. My leds didnt cause issues until went more than 2... (fronts and backs tie into common points). If that all works you got a bad LE. I got the same one from badlands and works great but may have got bad one

The system reads the low amp load created by a bulb being out, signaling the rider by turning on the red key. Old models the TSM wouldn’t blink, newer models the TSSM blinks the lights fast. Adding the Load Equalizer adds the required load to stop this.
On some new bikes there’s a reprogramming procedure in which you turn the ignition switch to ACC and turn the flashers for a minute or so. Now sure what is required for your bike.

I get that. And I’ve added the load equalizer. But I’ve never heard of LEDs making all 4 markers blink. I’ll try turning the ignition to ACC and letting them blink for a minute or so. Since I don’t have a security system I just have a TSM, right? Like I said before, it’s a 2010. Not sure if the TSSM started coming standard after a certain year or not

The reprogramming is done without the LE.

Pretty sure this is on the Canbus systems of 2014 and later. His 2010 should just need the LE to solve.
