+1 I ordered same one on He Man's reccomendation. I got the white one and it was an easy 5 min install, showed up 3 days after I ordered it and Joe is a super great seller

Installed the new module and I still have the same issue.  The weird thing is I turned on the bike today and it worked fine. I had the bike warming up and the turn signals running the whole time....engaged the brakes and was switching the turn signals all worked just fine....turned her off and back on and the turn signals would not work.  I even bought a new switch relay. I have done everything I can think of.  I am sending the light back to motodynamics.  I am thinking it might be the light that is the issue..

Wait!!

I'm an asshole, I should have read the whole thread. So just to be cleaer (for my own sake) the turn signals will work while the bike is running, but not while the power is just turned to "on" is that correct?
If it is I had the same problem.
The solution - Per Motodynamic is - that's the way it is.

Apparently some  bikes have that issue, (something to that effect is written on the little "instruction sheet" it comes with) and they need more juice for the signals than the bike gives when just turned to "on" ....


If that's not what you were talking about then I just wasted you're time......you will never get that time back, and good luck making up for it by speeding up other things you were planning to do at a normal pace

Yeah I read that as well on there FAQ section of there website.  If I turn the key to the
"on" position the brake light works but the signals do not. When the bike is actually running the signals work, but only for a period of time.  And I cant actually say how long they work while the bike is  running.

And that is my issue.  I had the bike running today for 10 minutes in the garage with the signals engaged. I wanted to see if they just stopped working but it was fine.  I turned off the bike. Started right back up......no turn signals.  Its whacky   

[djrashonal]

thats odd....i had the same issue and i never had an issue after that first time.

I freaked out though when i went to check the signals. i thought i screwed up somethin in the electrical system.  Sorry you're having so much trouble. after that first scare I havent had any issues

[MaaloX]

As I am thinking about this...I did replace my old front two wire signals with a new set of three wire non led signals.  I only used the two wires that made the signals work and just taped off the third wire.....Could this be a possible issue?  Im grasping at straws here. 

[erickadams]

okay, knock on wood, my is working fine now...apparently a low battery won't help the situation, with all of the checking and work I have done I ran the battery down, so after a charge all was well, hope everyone else has some better luck!


later,
Erick

I've got two.........on two different monsters.........they don't work well when the bike's aren't running. They work fine when the bikes are running. It says right on the one page instructions that this could be an issue. It took me a day and a half of screwing around with the bikes to finally find that one line on the instructions.


Instructions are good.
