I'm stumped!
Ok, I'm hoping someone can give me some ideas on what's going on with my bike. I have a 2012 Street Glide in which I recently installed the SG aux light kit with trucklite phase 7 LED passing lights.
Before the install, I had all four turn signal lenses converted to LED along with the trucklite phase 7 LED headlight and some plasma rods. I have a Biketronics load equalizer installed. Everything was running fine. After the install, I get the fast-flashing turn signals. I contacted biketronics to see if I needed to add another load equalizer and they said one should work for the entire bike. I was instructed to reset it which did not work. I then thought it had to be the way I wired up the aux light kit. The directions sucked and some members helped me out. There were two wires coming out of the headlamp (gray and black) and the directions only instructed what to do with the gray wire (plug into #4 front turn connector). What was I supposed to do with the black wire? I was told to join both black wires (1 from the light and 1 from the turn signal) and insert into the front turn connector. The lights and the turns all work. I thought maybe I had a bad ground but after checking all 4 ground wires (2 on each side) were solid. Now I'm thinking my load equalizer is bad. I removed a front LED turn and replaced with a bulb. This resulted in no fast-flashing. I figure if the load equalizer is bad it still would have fast-flashed due to my rear signals being LED. I'm totally stumped on this. I'm hoping some experts can weigh in and help me solve this. If you've gotten this far, thanks for reading. Ride Safe! |
I bet your Aux light wiring is wrong, based on the poor directions you reference. I would agree that one load equalizer (simply a resistor) is adequate to pull enough current for all leds on the bike. Hope you can figure out the wiring issue.

Something is not wired correctly. Start disconnecting one thing at a time until you find it. Then figure out how to connect it properly. It's a simple thing to do from this side of the computer. Good luck.

Yes I'm starting to think I should not have combined the two ground wires into the one slot in the connector. Where should I ground the lamp?

Here is a pic of my turn - aux lamp connector. I know it is a limited but I think the lights keep the same colors in the SG kit. 4 wires. None are combined.

I went out and moved the light ground wire to the fairing bracket instead of combining it with the turn signal ground. It still is not working correctly. It looks like I may have to live with it.... My wires are getting all messed up with soldering spots along the wires....lol It's strange because when I unplug the wire for the light I still get a fast-flash even though that was the setup I had before I installed the lights??? |
the book is telling you to perform test 3.15c turn signal symtom flash at double normal rate all bulbs work. it said to check for corrrosion on bulbs and or sockets, connections and if everything looks good replace TSM/HFSM. Learn password if needed and perform setup. so Check all bulbs and connections if all is good you know what you need to do now. Just make sure everything is right before you buy anything

Do you have a short? Try running a new ground and see what happens.

Just a little more info here.....
Did you use the custom passing lamp bracket? Did you move your existing led replacement bulbs from the stock bullet turn signal housing to the new bullet turn signal housing on the passing lamp bracket? |
