Blinkers fast flash and one rear doesnt work
Ok guys, need help before i buy a $150 tsm (turn signal module).
2006 flhxi (street glide) 22,000 miles. Lowered, airnott air suspension, led accent lights. Everything else is stock. All lights and blinkers are stock.
Had a run,turn,brake light module that i believe went bad causing issues with my blinkers. I removed the module and still has the same symptoms. Which are as follows. Right blinkers work front and rear, but they only flash 3-4 times normally before they begin fast flash like a bulb is out. Left side, only front works normally for 3-4 flashes before it begins fast flash. Have changed rear bulbs and moved them from left to right with same symtoms.
Left rear blinker does not work at all.

When I had this issue it was the turn signal switch in the bar on my softail. When i turned the bike one blinker would turn on by itself. Replaced the switch and it fixed. Not sure if your issue is the same.

when I had a similar problem, it was shortly after I had a new tire mounted on the rear wheel. The mechanic snagged the tail light wires under the fender when removing the wheel, which caused them to rub on the tire, ultimately breaking the wire.

check tail light wires under the rear fender for rubbing
check that your tail lights are connected completely
make sure the bulb sockets are clean
if the lights are LED then you will need a load equalizer

Thanks for the responses. Got the rear light working, crappy plastic cup thingy that holds the wire had let go. Got it fixed and now the blinker works. Now here is something i learned yesterday.... If the bike is not running. The blinkers flash normally, but when it is running they fast flash.

Fyi ended up being one of the front bulbs. Even though it was working as a running light and blinker it was still bad. Changed the bulb and all is well.
