Turn Signals
This may not be the right place to post this but, I replaced the brake light switch in my right handle bar housing and now when I use the right turn signal it flashes at normal speed about 5 times then it speeds up and starts flashing real fast. I have an 04 roadking and I see no smashed or skinned wires in the housing. The left signal flashes normally. Anyone heard of this before?

RE: Turn Signals
Most likely a bad ground? Had the same happen on my Eliminator tail light and both signals were going fast after about 5 normal blinks. Took it back and it was a loose ground wire. GL!

RE: Turn Signals
I had a similar problem after pulling a trailer without a load equalizer. In response to a post about it I was given the following information for resetting the TSSM.
Yes there is a way to reset the TSSM. This is used when you install and remove a sidecar but also works with trailers. I have used this to reset after installing led turn signals without using a load equalizer.
First you must apply the back brake and keep it pressed down through out this procedure or you will have to start over.
1 Apply rear brake, turn ignition to on position. Do not start bike.
2 Turn on four way flashers. Let flash four times.
3 Turn on left turn signal. Let flash four times.
4 Turn on right turn signal. Let flash four times.
5 Turn off ignition switch and release rear brake.
That should take care of it.

RE: Turn Signals
Yep, what Norskie said. Happened on my 01 Roadking. Didn't realize it affected later than 01 models though. I didn't even have to get as far as the right signal before it corrected itself.
