    Hey Guys

     

    Just did a turn signal relocation from bars to the fork legs using the same blinkers on my 2013 Streetbob . The issue i am having now is that the dash blinks faster than the indicators themselves. The flashing is normal on the blinkers but the dash will be going significantly faster. Anyone had this problem before , please help, us out. Thanks. Also , what causes the ABS to continously falsh even when on the go. Recently had my brake calipers taken off to sort out a wheel. Do you think it could have interfered with my sensors?

    I think it is because your bike cant stand that FAST idle you got...

    Ok, on a more serious note, the turn signal indicators (dash lights) gets their signal from the speedo, which in turn receives it from the "CAN" (CAN bus circuits are used by modules and diagnostic tools to share information.
    The instruments, ECM, BCM, hand controls and ABS [if equipped] all communicate on the CAN bus... Now here's the killer - CAN communication uses ONLY 2 WIRES (W/BK) and (W/R) wire in a twisted pair that
    runs to all the modules and is used to transfer data from one module to the other... So the power to your Dash Indicator lights comes through other components... So it may be very hard to get to the bottom of it...
    Question - Did ANYONE lift off your speedo or anything else during the relocation?? - You may be missing an earth...
    If you have relocated indicators, Its also possible that your bike is seeing them as a Non-compliant module connected to the CAN bus. ( a valid error code)...
    Let me think about it for a while longer.. BUT I suspect a poor earth at the speedo or something equally simple..
