Hey guys, hoping to get some help.
I just intstalled a BikeMaster Integrated sequential tail light on my '08 M109r. I had the hyper blinking issue as can be expected but when I installed the supplied flasher unit is where I run into my problem.
The rear turn signals now flash, albeit VERY slowly but the front signals (as well as the indicators on my instrument cluster) do not flash, they light and stay on.
The instructions they provided made sense except for a step where they said to "switch the red and black wires on the flasher unit"...there are no red or solid black wires in either my factory harness where I got the light blue and brown wires to attach to their new unit which has yellow and black wires.
It is probably worth noting that the front signals are also LED and were installed by the previous owner. I don't see any evidence of any other additions to the wiring that might have gone with them.
I'm wondering if it is possibly a grounding issue? I've burned out two tail lights and a headlight in the last year and a half. The first tail light was another sequential LED installed by the previous owner, not sure what brand, and the second was another BikeMaster one, not sequential that time, that they were kind enough to warranty for me. Both experienced the hyper blinking but this new sequential one was the only one that needed to be fixed because the ambers wouldn't blink every time. The headlight that burned out was a 35w HID that I've since replaced with LED (bright as heck, not sure about the coverage though).
If anyone has any experience with this or a similar kit or can shed any light on the situation I would greatly appreciate it. My bike won't pass inspection until this is fixed and it is due in July.
Thanks for your help!
