Fatboy hyper blinker

0 Comments

Ever since I got the sled the blinkers would flash at a high rate and the red key would be displayed on the gauge.

This will occur if the blinker load has changed to a higher resistance which is the case with LED turn signals.

There are a couple ways to fix this situation. The most common way is to add a load resistor (low cost) or to use a load equalizer. The method may cost more but the technology is better and does not dissipate a lot of heat looks the static resistors.

I ordered a set from Amazon and it should arrive tomorrow. The part is a ”bridge” connection.

Connector 8 pin usage.

I will update this blog once I have completed the installation and test functionality.

Below is the actual part. It comes in two colors, black costing a few dollars extra. Since this is an under seat product location it didn’t matter to me the module I purchased was white.

The installation is probably one of the easiest installs or modifications I have done to a sled. This is almost an installation error proof procedure.

The preliminary testing is showing the hyper flash issue no longer a problem. I temporarily placed the module where it fit without getting damaged once the seat is installed.

The next step is to erase the stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes DTC.

After reading a few online forums, some were saying you can reset the history codes by removing the battery negative cable for a few minutes and the codes in history will clear.

I tried this method and it didn’t work. Others were saying you need to have 50 ignition starts and the coffee will clear.

I’ll update this blog post when the codes have cleared. Hopefully I don’t get another set of codes.
