Blinker problem

Churchryan55 · January 28th, 2013, 06:56 PM

Hey everyone new to site. Ok so I just bought a repo 2010 kawasaki ninja 250 and the previous owner removed the front blinkers and I just got in the side mirrors with the led blinkers built in to them. I installed them and went to try them out and the stayed lite and the rear ones to. The rear ones stay lite even before I installed the front one. I thought that by adding the front blinkers it would solve the problem but I was wrong. I looked at the wires the best I could while I had the fairing off and they looked good to me no cuts or anything. I also ordered the stock front blinkers and just waiting for them to get here from china would like to figure this out soon thanks for the help and sorry for the long story

LED's draw less current than bulbs so the thermal flasher unit that heats some sort of bimetalic strip I assume always stays on as it doesn't heat up as it would with the load of the bulbs and so they stay on, you will need to switch to an electrnic flasher relay or add a resistor for each led turn signal.

But if you'd spend one minute on google you would know this.

Or read the wiki

Are the built in lights on the mirrors LEDs? if so, you'll need to replace your flasher with an eletric flasher so your LEDs can flash.

Do a search for flasher relay.

Ok so I took the left bli let off the back and hooked it up to the front right and with the bike on but not running it just stays on but once I start the bike it blinks just fine. I haven't hooked the led mirrors with the two blinkers on the same side yet to see if it will blink. Any thought on to why it only blinks when the bike is running?
