Why are the turn signals on my Harley not working?

Why are the turn signals on my Harley not working?

2) If you have LED type bulbs, someone replaced the turnsignals BEFORE you and may not have added the recommended load equilizer (simulates load of filament type bulbs), and never got the problem fixed just right, and if left alone it can “fry” the TSM/TSSM. Hopefully you have not gotton to this point and have to replace the module.

What are the turnsignals on a Harley Davidson?

1) Turnsignals all stock means the front signal lights one of the two filaments in the front; the rear signal lights use single filiament lights.

Why is my hazard light not working on my Harley?

Check the hazard light box and make sure all signal wires are attached. Check the flasher for functionality (turn signal relay). The wiring for the turn signal lights goes through the turn signal switch. This means that the turn signal switch may be bad. If only one light (or one side) isn’t working, check the power to the bulb plug-in connections.

Is it illegal to not have a turn signal on a bike?

It’s not a showstopper because you can still ride. But turn signals are an essential part of bike safety. Hand signals are fine during the day, yet are hard to see at night.

How is the hazard light connected to the turn signal?

The brake light circuit and the turn signal circuit have crossed paths somewhere. The wires carrying the power supply from the turn signal switch is connected or touching the brake wires. The hazard light button is essentially an additional power source and switch for the turn signal circuit.

Why is my turn signal not working on my FXDX?

My ’99 FXDX used to rub the wire under the rear guard to give the same symtoms. Every so often it would rub through the insulation. Usually after riding with a pillion and after a big bump in the road. Didn’t matter how well it was clipped up and insulated (spiro-tie, heatshrink etc) after six months or so it would do it again.

How do you reset the turn signal on a Dyna Glide?

Press left turn signal switch once, and light will flash a number of times to indicate an error code. There is 1.5 seconds between flashes to indicate 1st and 2nd digit of codes and four second pause between codes. Press and hold left switch down for five seconds, and light will flash twice to indicate the TSSM is reset. Turn ignition to off.

What should I do if my turn signal light is not working?

LED lights rarely fail. The first test that you should perform is to disconnect the LED turn signal light and apply power to the LED bulb. Does the LED light turn on? If the LED doesn’t turn on, replace it. If the LED turn signal light does turn on, the LED light is not the problem.

Why does my turn signal Flasher not work?

Flashers work but turn signals don’t. There may not be enough amperage going through the system load equalizer to activate the flasher. Go ahead and replace the bulbs with hotter ones that draw more amperage. A turn signal flasher is like a circuit breaker that trips under a load and automatically resets (flashes).

How many bulbs are in a turn signal Flasher?

Go ahead and replace the bulbs with hotter ones that draw more amperage. A turn signal flasher is like a circuit breaker that trips under a load and automatically resets (flashes). Each side (left and right) turn signal is two bulbs (minimal load) and four bulbs for the emergency flasher (maximum load).

What to do when your turn signal doesn’t work?

Turn the ignition to run/stop in run position with ignition off. Hold ODO reset button in and hold. Turn ignition switch to IGN. Release ODO reset button.

How to diagnose turn signals dont work properly?

Some vehicles use a solid state flasher module that contains transistors and diodes. On these vehicles, you should consult a vehicle specific service manual for proper diagnosis. You should always use a replacement bulb of the same part number as the one being replaced.

What happens when a turn signal Flasher fails?

Step 3 – When a turn signal flasher or relay fails the blinkers will not operate or come “ON”, but not blink. A direction signal system is designed to operate with a flasher or blinker unit which interrupts the signal which created the blinking action. Learn more-Locate turn signal flasher in Google Images.

Why is my turn signal not working on my Harley?

Why is my left turn signal not flashing?

When it’s not working, there is no signal front & rear and no signal indicator either. When working, both markers function properly as does the indicator. With new bulbs installed and sockets cleaned, I’ve narrowed the problem down to either the left turn signal switch or the turn signal module.

Why are the turn signals on my hog not flashing?

Find the orange wire that feeds 12 volts to your turn signal module. Power it off of a breaker that is powered on, both 1 & 2 “clicks”. My speedometer is working erratic. When I give it throttle the speedimeter digital reading goes blank and the engine light comes on and the turn signals will not flash. When I come to a stop they work
