Default P.O.S. Run/Turn/Brake Module
I had one of these in my 2002 Fatboy for 8 years with no problems. I put one in my 2011 RKC, and I've been through 4 15 amp Light Circuit fuses in 1k miles.
It'll run fine for a while, and then BOOM, no Tail Light or Running Lights.
I recently disconnected the module, and all has been fine. I know others have had similar problems. So much for Genuine HD parts.
Just ordered the Biketronics module to see if I have better luck.

Biketronics,took the words right out of my mouth.I ran their unit for a couple of years on an '08 EG and forgot to pull it when I bought my Limited.About the same price as the moco's but a lifetime warranty with all their gear.
