Default Led front turn signals flash.

I have an issue and really need some help. I installed a trike kit on my 2001 FLHR with great success last year. Installed rear LED turn signal lights etc. All good. I decided to upgrade front turn signals to LED and they don't blink. Also, I now have no speedo lights etc. Both turn signal indicators are on in the speedo. Please help. Thanks!

All LED front and rear? Did you use a load equalizer?

Put the regular bulbs back on the front and if all is back to normal then it's likely those LEDs for the front. Some of the cheap LED from Amazon are bad. I agree with Dawg, if you go LED all around you'll need a load equalizer.

Lights won't blink because there's not enough load.
It was fine when the rear were LED and the front were incandescing,
But once they were all LED there isn't enough load for the TSM to see the bulbs,
not flashing is how it notifies you a bulb is out.
As far as the speedo lights, are you saying the back lights or the indicators in the speedo aren't working?
Your speedo back light not working wood be another issue.

I will try the equalizer. The speedo light in the speedometer went out as well as the horn. Don't know what happened. Any idea?

Did the load equalizer fix the problem?
Where did you get it, and where did you put it?

My guess is a fuse. Is there a short somewhere? Heated seat maybe?

I'll let you know later today. Doesn't this 2001 RK have a turn signal module under seat?
