Turn signal problem

PistolPete93 · July 13th, 2012, 05:08 PM

So being the adventurer i am, i wanted to change the setting on the flush mount turn signals the previous owner installed. Its the proton flush mount kit. After rearranging the wires, theres 3 total, when I turn one side on, the other signals flashed very dimly. Same thing happens to both sides.

WTFFFF I dont know wth to do or what is going on. And to top it off I killed my battery and cant start my Bike. So now I cant start it.

I know Im a noob please someone save me lol

If you still have the stock relay, change it to an electronic flasher. LEDs are anal about the right relay. I currently rock the EP34 for a total of 4 flush mount front signals and an integrated LED taillight. Try it. Good luck.

nah, you dont need turn signals.

I dont have the stock relay, It was working fine before I took the fairings off and undid the wiring. I got it to change between the regular blink and strobe (multiple flashes), but when I rewired it, the other side blinks at t he same time, just dimmer.

if it matters at all it also has an integrated tail light on it too

So go back to the original wiring and charge the battery.

I went back to the original wiring as soon as I noticed the problem

Getting the same feeling here.

When i signal right, the left light blinks too, except very dimly. Same thing happens vice versa. Anyone know what is causing this? This is really bugging me and I need to get it fixed asap

Where does the ground wire connect to the body of the bike? I'm having problems with my turn signals and it might be the ground wire. I can't seem to find where it connects to the body of the bike, because the end where it connects to the light is fine

Check your frame on the right side, close to the tank. It should have a black/yellow wire leading to it.

Called up proton company, I need a resistor because power is leaking through to the other side, finally found out that is what is going on. Apparently it happens with the leds

Where exactly doe you put the resistor?
anywhere on the turn signal circuit?

broilmebk · July 17th, 2012, 09:42 AM

I don't get it. Weren't they working before? You shouldn't need resistors then.

No, because I bought diodes and wired them in, and it didnt work. The reason is becuase when the diode allows flow one way, the other side isnt gettign the flow it needs, so it would only work for one side. I think I'm going with the no cut kit on modmy250

No, they were always doing this, I just didnt notice it. The integrated tail light would do the same thing, but i thought it was supposed to do that. When I noticed the front signals doing that, I thought I might have done something, but nope

Ahh okay. Yea, I went with the no-cut diode kit from Tri.
