Just bought an integrated tail light for my 03 xb9s. My friend liked mine so much that he got himself one. I installed mine no prob so he asked me to install his. My friend has an 04 xb12Scg. Hooked everything up the same way as I did mine but now when he turns his blinkers on you hear a loud "humm" (similar to what you hear when you turn your kill switch on before starting your bike) and there is no "blinking" on the taillight. It just comes on and doesn't blink. He removed his front blinkers all together a while back - other than that I can't think of why the blinkers won't blink. Any ideas? Thanks! |

not enough resistance in the circuit to make the flasher work. Have him reinstall front blinkers and it should work... and be safer. |

What if he doesn't want the front ones installed at all? There has to be a way around it I would think.. |

I replied to your thread in the KV on the same subject. The issue like Valiant_duke says is the lack of front signals, there is no load on the turn signal flasher relay. The options are to either reinstall the front signals (he is stupid for not having them, but thats for another thread), or modify/replace the stock flasher with one that is designed for LED lights. (American Sport Bike sells the flasher) |

You can pick of an EP-36 flasher or equivalent from your local auto parts store or order one from American Sport Bike. http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/16086.html |

Email the company you bought it from. If its a good company you'll get a reply quickly. And more importantly some helpful info. If its a bad company, well you will get a reply in 6-10 days with a useless answer. |
