Fast blinking

[Jimbo670]

I installed the custom dynamics led front and rear signals in my 2015 SGS. I am getting the fast blink from the light in the fairing. I have tried to leave the 4 way flashers on several times for 5+ minutes and this has not fixed it. Any thoughts?

Did you try running the hazards in accessory mode? I saw on another forum that letting the lights flash for 5 minutes in accessory mode is the trick-
my CD install on my 2014 SGS evened out after a few seconds.

Yup.......this is exactly what I had to do for both the fronts and rears (installed at different times) and they both now work like a champ.......shouldn't be an issue

I just went and tried this and it still does not work.

Maybe only change out fronts or rears, once it's happy add the others. Mine cleared up within 30 seconds.

I had the same thing when I went with their lights....as long as the turn signals were operating at the correct speed, I didn't care. Sometime between then and now, the indicator light started flashing normal...give it some time.

I didn't do CD lights. But close enough. This is pretty much spot on though. I tried doing the flashers for a few minutes, never quite worked. Eventually it just figured itself out on its own.

This was another one of my problems and was just going to live with it. 5 minutes on Acc with flashers on and fixed itself weird

 

[Jimbo670]

Thanks all. I have tried several times. When it is on acc after a few seconds it evens out but when I go to normal it still fast blinks for turning. I guess I will try for a while and see what happens.

Every once in a while even after evening out, my left blinker will start doing the fast flash on the dash, and only the left side will do it. The blinkers themselves still work fine, so whatever.

Its my understanding the "flasher" senses a bulb out (no resistance) and sends a "fast flash" signal. Because the led's don't have as much resistance as an incandescent bulb, the flasher will sense a burnt out bulb. From experience, the flasher finally adjusts to the new resistance and sends a normal flash signal.

Well I guess I will just wait it out Does it hurt anything with the fast blinking?

Not at all. Took probably 3 or 4 months for mine to work out. The bulbs themselves still flash like normal.

After I put the plasma rods on, I got the fast blinking, but the lights blinked normal. Had a cutting out issue so took to Harley. Had 5 error codes, 3 were the new lights. When I got it back the blinkers were normal. Don't know if the codes need to be reset on your bike or not ? ..

Cool I will be taking it in for the 1k mile service so I will have them do it then. I don't see any error codes on the odometer.
