Default need help diagnosing a problem

While riding today I noticed the my right turn signals started flashing very fast. They are normal for a few seconds and all the sudden they take off. It does not seem to be very consistant. when I got home I could not get the signal to speed up. Very weird. Would a loose connection cause this? Any ideas?

I have installed an LED brake light. Would that do it?

You probably need a load equalizer to make things work properly. LEDs draw less power and therefor need to "equalized" power wise. Check out Badlands.

I figured the kury instructions would have mentioned that I need an equalizer for the led brake light install. I thought only LED turn signal required the equalizer.

I don't know for certain, but seeing as you added the taillight and then your problem started it is most likely related. I guess you should contact Kury for more info. I doubt it is a loose wire, but you never know.

Check your light bulbs for corrosion and also the connector to the Turn Signal Security Module (TSSM) for corrosion on the connector.

Is it the turn signals themselves or the indicator light? My indicator light for the turn signal did the same thing week and I discovered i had a burnt out front bulb.

Wiegs,
You shouldnt need an eq for the brake light alone. Better start chasing turn signal wires. Look and see which light isnt working and thatll tell you the direction you have to go. Theres a pinched wire or shorted socket in there somewhere

Turn signals will flash 4 times at normal speed, and then almost triple the flashing rate when something is wrong. Such as a burnt out bulb, no connection type of thing.
