Default turn signal indicators both constantly on

im sure this question has been asked/answered. ive searched for 20 mins and couldnt find anything particular to my situation..

i have a 2007 Dyna fxdb street bob

ive upgraded to a rear integrated LED running/turn signal light and upgraded to front LED running/turn signals. the fronts are from ebay and i belive the rear are amazon..

after upgraded to the front LEDs i am getting an odd display.. BOTH turn signal indicators stay illuminated while running and when i hit the turn signal, the indicator light remains on but slightly dims indicating the flashing. this along with hyper flash (fast flashing) and the red key (error indicator) is illuminated.

i have a load equalizer on the way.(also from ebay $50)

not sure if anyone has had this problem and if the load equalizer will remedy this? will i need two separate load equalizers? one for the front and one for the rear?

thanks in advance!

chris

Not sure about the bile but I know that new cars use a thermal flasher that "warms up" with current draw and the circuit opens at a specified temperature and closes as it cools down. If you have ever put an incorrect bulb in you auto turn signal, you get similar effects. I would venture your current draw is now off and that is what you are witnessing.

You need the equalizer....I believe your problems will go away once it’s installed

H-D sells an intermittent module that is installed between your regular switch indicator & the module of those newer LED gizmo's y'all installed . i dont know the part numbers,but i've installed 2 of em for newer bikes like yours that experienced the same problem of the switch lights staying lit & when engaged-they dim .
