    Hey fella's, I hope someone can help....  I have swapped the handle bars on my 2005 Softail Standard for 16" apes, because of this I had to splice in 250mm extensions to the handle bar switch block looms.   I have triple checked my wiring, soldered joins & heat shrink and all apprears to be good but when I turn on the ignition the front indicators light up (constant) as well as flash for a number of times.  Any ideas?  Pulling my hair out here.

    Cheers Rich

    Have seen this before and some of the wires were mixed up at the plugs.
    Did you remove the pins from the plug housings?

    Thanks for replies Drac & S.D.M.F.

    All fixed.  You hit the nail on the head S.D.M.F.  yep an import.  As I had to relocate the indicators from handle bars to the forks due to swapping to apes I shortened up the indicator looms.  The loom part I threw away had the third wire cut in it FFS....  Live and learn.
