If you feel strongly enough about it you can complain to the compliance department at the Federal Communications Commission. There's lots of stuff sold these days that creates some kind of interference somewhere in the rf spectrum. And yes there are regulations against that interference to the primary users of the spectrum, but there are also laws against illegal drugs...and how well is that working for us?

 

Ok, my bad, lol.. I didnt read/comprehend that part, long paragraph with no pictures, I got kind lost, lmao.... Its all good, sorry bout that 96.

 

So, if he had bought the same item in a store it would have been ok?
Sheesh...

 

only reason for this to happen
You have a bad ground somewhere
either the radio ,flasher , antenna
Check them all for resistance, find a better ground


A "good ground" is a ground circuit that has a resistance of zero OHMS.


Before measuring resistance in any circuit,
the resistance of the meter should be measured by touching the leads together.
A meter with a good battery and leads in good condition will read less than .2 OHMS usually zero.
If the leads measure anything more, an accurate measure of the circuit resistance may not be possible.

Always remember - resistance cannot be measured accurately on a "live" circuit
All current flow through a circuit must be stopped by disconnecting its power source before measuring resistance.

Electricity is an algebra equation, what you do to one side you must do to the other.
Pay as much attention to the ground wire as you do the power wire.

You can't get a good resistance reading on your ground wiring with the power connected and equipment running, so disconnect the battery first.

Everyone worries about the positive side of a circuit and ignores the ground circuit.
Basic electrical circuit design requires a complete path back to the battery through the ground circuit,
and if it has high resistance, then the electrical device will operate poorly.
small ground wire compared to larger positive wire,

best bet is to connect the (-) side of the flasher to the battery. if not check the grounds

 

I grounded it directly to the battery and still had the problem. I tossed it in the garbage, you get what you pay for. Anyone recommend a brake flashing unit?
Thanks

 

Take a look at "Bright *** Lights". They offer several LED tail lights with built in flasher programs and a brightness intensity that rivals what is on top of police cars these days. Try googling "BAL" and I suspect at least one entry will be for them. At $200 "entry fee" they aren't cheap, but they sure do perform.

 

I use the "Knight Rider". You can get from Custom Dynamics. It is a plug n play mounted onto the rear of the tour pak. It is eye level to cagers. You may or may not like that it runs back n forth.

 

i have a unit from lakesideelectronics called THOR

i love this thing and i think i did a write up on it -- 50$ well worth it
it can be programmed from 10 quick taps of the brake as soon as u turn on the key
from there it enters program mode where u can change the strobes, heres the link if you want to look , i love this thing and will always buy this one, plus its smaller then a quarter, and for me its awsome - fits perfect anywhere and i have never had an issue with it ----- i dont know this person or anything, i just love this flasher
it works with led and filament
this is the website
http://lakesideelectronics.net/produ...ght-modulator/
this is the actual unit




here it is on my scoot



this is his how it works an they show the strobe /patterns

 

if it wasn't ok, he'd have some recourse- like I said buyer beware.

ebay and swap meets are a dumping ground for crap.

a real "store" has some responsibility to conform to standards- or use a recognized name- custom dynamics and badlands come to mind, there are others

so the buyer has to become the responsible party...or the fish.

I had a similar issue when I installed the Kuryakn Panacea light system with a a solid state load equalizer from Custom Dynamics.

When I turned on the CB radio I would get interference when using the turn signals.

When I turn up the squelch a few bars it goes away.
Give that a try.
