Hey everybody, I feel like this goes without saying, but this fix isn't the best way to do it, only an option. If you aren't sure, just dont do it. I don't know your bike or your wiring, nor do I even own a sportster anymore. It worked perfectly for me and the time I used it, so I cannot help troubleshoot issues you may have. Ride safe y'all.
Saved this video as I need to do this also. The guy I bought my sporty from had a Chinese board in it that had the blinker rely built in and it fried. Good thing my wife saw the smoke before I rode away
Thanx bro.. i had my led signals rear n front.. it flashes.. but in a fast mode.. hope when i add the relays it can solve my problem to slow the flashes down..
Hi - Based in the UK and just bought a 2000 sportster and had the issues, where the flashers came on and didnt flash with LED's. Strangely the Hazards even with LED's flashed perfectly fine. I installed the relays and fixed the turn signals which now flash, but with the relays installed, the Hazards dont even come on - did you come across this?
I just installed these relays and both blinkers now work but I’ve lost my 4 ways any advice on what I should do? I bought an 03 883 xhl sportster, it has led head light and taillight, I previously had hazards and no blinkers (turned on and stayed on until I installed these relays, help?
My right side blinker indicator is not working and right blinker is not working but light is on. Right rear is not working for whatever reason. What do u think is issue. I have 2012 1200 custom
Does it work on a 883R 2007? the front indicators are sequential and the rear one is integrated into the brake light. I tried everything and couldn't solve my problem. Thank you for your help.
@@정성훈-b1t3x I managed to solve it with two 20w15R resistors, connected in parallel to the arrows. the connection was made in the front turn signal harness after the plug that comes from the main harness. since the resistor has no polarity, you connect one side to the positive wire and the other to the gnd.
Yep I matched the colors to the existing turn signal wiring, but at least for my model there's an exra wire. I think its blue, that is the running light wire. If you want them as running lights you will need a 2 to 3 wire converter. If not they only come on when you hit the turn signal.
@@ZozzerRidez are you talking about the 2 to 3 wire converters for trailer hitches? That's all I'm seeing on Amazon with that search haha. Getting my relays in tomorrow to fix the solid blink but I was hoping to keep my running lights too. Wondering what will happen if I power my running lights yet still run the circuit you have here.
hi, I did this fix in my 97 sporty, the turn signals work perfectly but now the emergency lights stopped working. When I press both turn signal buttons nothing turns on. any ideas? thank you.
Would this be the “proper” way to do this. Not to say this has any issues or isn’t a good solution, but is it the “right” way to solve this this problem...?
Not quite, this interrupts the flow of electricity and forces a blink. The problem is the load has been changed, so the "proper" way would be to add in a load equalizer, something I have not done.
Are the blinker lights supposed to be on when the bike is turned on?. My front ones stay on when cranked but the rear are not and they all blink properly. My Harley mechanic says they are but , I have never noticed that and I bought it new in 03. Is he wrong ?.
I don't recall if the rear signals are lit when running, I removed mine a while ago. My front signals don't have a running light wire so they are off until activated.
Did the same process and still have hyper flash. I switched the wires for L & B just to see and my front signals had hyper flash while my rear signals seemed slow. Any ideas?
With the relays I used there is a small dial in the middle by the L and B terminals which you can rotate that adjusts the speed of the flash.(turning one way increases the rate of flash, the other slows it) I turned mine up to the quickest setting and both front and rear flash at the same speed. If it's an issue you had before installing the relays, it may be something else as this fix is for solid signal lights that don't blink at all when incorporating LEDs on a bike with incandescents, which messes with the load equalization thus causing them to stay solid.
i recently installed these to replace my rear turn signals to LED and it worked perfectly. today i replaced the front turn signals to LED and im back to hyperflash. any idea whats going on?
The ones I used aren't available on Amazon right now. Just search 'CAN FM flasher" there's a ton made by a lot of different manufacturers, all around ten bucks.
If your issue is hyperflashing a load equalizer is probably the way to go. As for me the issue was solid non-blinking signals. Flasher relays cost a whole lot less and you can get a pair in a couple days. There's always more than one way to solve a problem.
@@ZozzerRidez I was just guessing the hyper flashing and solid non-blinking were from the same root cause, like very high speed epilepsy leading to immobility... I have solid non-blinking only on right signal. My guess is a defect of the turn signal canceller. Will replace with the Badlands turn signal canceler which includes also the load equalizer, and I'll be ready for Led someday... Little more expensive, but for me, relays are probably just a workaround, hiding the cause (load on Led not adapted).
This method is just a quick fix for solid signals that won't blink. If you want to drop a little more money or have a different issue, a load equalizer is probably best.
I repeat do not butcher your wire harnesses like this guy did. You can easily unlock the wires from the plug and remove them. Uncrimp the pin from the wire if you really can't wait to acutely do the mod the correct way and you're all about butchering "rigging" in the meantime. That way when and IF you decide to redo everything and go back to original and do the mod correct. You can replace the pins and lock the wires back in the factory plug. Sorry I'm ocd as f$ck when it comes to wiring. And really hate building ppl new wire harnesses because someone decided to rig one and ends up frying everything because they didn't know what they was doing. Wait actually do it this way and come see me when everything goes haywire. Just be ready for the bill and hopefully you have $$$ because it's definitely going to cost you 😂

Do these groups of wire come from the engine control module?
what flasher relay did you get off amazon? im having the same problem

On my boyfriend’s bike, the lights for the signals come on and stay solid, but won’t flash. Would this work? It’s a chopper 93 sportster.
I recently did this exactly as you did, and now, my blinkers only work on accessory , and I lost my headlight. Any ideas on what happened?

Did this affect your break light? My turns don't flash and my break light is constantly on (not running light, break light)
No. The only wires I'm cutting into and connecting to the flasher relays are the wires for the turn signals.

How did you wire the front led lights? Purple to purple? Black to black? I just got the same ones

Noted, thanks my friend!
If I have LED in the front but not rear will that still work?
It should still fix the problem, but I can't guarantee it since I haven't tried myself.
installed LED lights front and rear with the same relay in a 2000 FXST, the front signals dont blink but the rears do. any suggestions?
If it ain't a 2003 sportster, I couldn't tell ya.
@@ZozzerRidez ended up ordering the custom dynamics LED box
Hello Sir. Is this also the same Realy as for FXSB night train year 2007?
You'd have to check your wiring, but I believe it would.
@@ZozzerRidez okay, thank you .

Yes if he wire these for daytime running lights they wouldn't need a flasher they flash from center out with out a flasher.
Nice info I did this but lights still only work manually any ideas thank you
I'm not sure what you mean by manually.

Hyper flash was never my issue. This is typically a fix for signals that stay solid. Have you tried turning down the flash speed on the relays?
Would you happen to have the link for the relays?
The ones I used aren't available on Amazon right now. Just search 'CAN FM flasher" there's a ton made by a lot of different manufacturers, all around ten bucks.
Thank you! Your videos help a ton, I have the same bike, so it’s nice to use your help/advice! Safe riding!
