Default Blinkers too fast.
I just installed a set of Custom Dynamics LED blinkers up front, one got hit by something and broke, called them and they sent me a new one, when I hit my blinkers it seems like the dash indicator blinks faster than the actual blinker, not sure if this is new or not, is this normal.

I think you have to put your 4 ways on and leave them on until it levels out.

Usually it means there is a bulb out. At least in a car.

Or maybe it was turn each blinker on one at a time and leave it on until it sync's up

May need to adjust your blinker fluid some, may have too much in one of the blinkers.

By the way, how great was it that CD replaced a light that stopped working through no fault of their own?

Quality products and service.

This may be temporary, the issue could return, it did on mine anyway. LED's take very little power, your system could actually think a bulb is out and is trying to tell you that. There is a permanent fix I think but cant remember what it is.

My Heritage did it and so does my Pops Road King.

They charged me, but they did replace one of my back blinkers that wasn’t working right, and yes they are good to deal with.
