2000 Wide Glide; Kuryakyn run-turn-brake module with load equalizer; LED bulbs (forgot the mfr, but it's the 24-led plug & play ones); bullet turn signals (aesthetics only, I know); HD upright tail/stop light (this is the one that goes around the medallion in the backrest, and is connected separately from the rest of the rear lights). All listed have been on the bike for at least 3 seasons with no issues.
Took the bike apart this winter for color, ended up running with only my upright tail/brake light for about 4 weeks because the stock taillight/license plate bracket is obsolete and the Drag Specialties/Biker's Choice one doesn't fit. Finally found a NOS bracket at a semi-local dealership. She's complete now, all parts where they should be and mostly functional.
The left rear blinker doesn't blink when in run, not for turn signal or 4-way; it comes on bright and stays that way. When in ACC, the signal functions properly for both 4-way and turn indication. The left front signal functions as advertised always, as do both right side signals. I've traced the wires, cleaned connections, swapped bulbs, and tried removing the module (which results in NO turn signals at all). I even changed the blinker fluid over to synthetic :s My next step is a new load equalizer; I guess I'm looking for validation here that that is the issue.
I'm questioning myself because it's only one of the 4 turn signals with any issue at all. I did a search of the forum (after a Google search led me here), went through 8 pages of old threads and couldn't find anything close enough to answer definitively. So, I registered to ask.
I'm going to feed the dog, and post some pictures in the new member forum while this stews.
Thanks in advance for excellent advice!
