    Default Turn Signal

    I have a 2011 RT-S, when you use the left or right turn signal they blink fast. But when I us the 4 way flasher, the lights blink normal. This problem just started. LED's installed: Rear Saddle Bag Lights (2011), Front Fender LED Lights (2011), Rear Third Brake Light (2011), Bumpskid LED (2011) and LED Tip Light (2015).

    I'm thinking something is not grounded correctly. Do I need to add a resistor? If so, what type and where do I place it? All lights are working, and all connectors are good.

    Thank you for any help.

    I agree that you've got a bit of "suspect" wiring in there...
    There's no need to add any resistors, until you troubleshoot the wiring first.
    Good Luck!!

    You need to add a couple resistors or rewire with relays.

    The recalibration procedure that Purple Guy explained will not work on your 2011. Only on 2014 or later models.

    I would start disconnecting one light at a time to see which one is causing your troubles.

    I know on my truck if the turn signals start flashing rapidly, then one of the lights is out. Not sure if it is the same on the Spyder, but it couldn't hurt to check. Or I could just be an idiot.

    I had this exact same problem when I had a 2012 RTS. Left side would flash rapidly and right side would flash normal. Check to make sure all your lights are working. What I found on mine was that the connector to the turn flasher on the front of my left side view mirror had come disconnected. Removed mirror and refastened connector and all was good. Hope this helps.
