    Default LED Blinking on and Off??

    I installed LED's from TricLED on the rear fender of my 2015 F3S SE6 where the red side marker reflectors were. I also installed Blinker Modules under the passenger seat and ran the hot wires down to the new LED Red Marker Lights so they would Blink when the turn signals were engaged.

    Everything works perfectly....the rear fender markers blink when the turn indicators are engaged and they go off when I hit the brakes and they are lite when I am just riding down the road. The PROBLEM IS.....after I start the bike the Right marker light after 45 seconds to 1 minute begins to blink off and on........yet when I turn on the blinkers the right and left work.....but once the blinkers are off the RIGHT LIGHT..."ONLY" blinks off and on.....it does not Strobe it just blinks off and on. Reggy from TricLED and I have spoken and we are both at a lose.

    Anyone out there with Experience have any ideal why this is happening??

    Default Polarity...

    One thing about LED's is they have to have the same polarity. This could be the problem but in any case it is in the wires somewhere...

    Will be looking at all wiring today.....to make sure the resistors ground and the blinking modules ground are the same. Which I believe may not be the case.....because resistors grounds are tied together under license plate and blinking modules are grounded under passenger seat to the factory wiring harness. So, will connect jumper wire between both grounds and see if blinking stops on right side.

    I've got one LED, in the middle of my right fender lights, that blinks a little bit...
    I jus figure it's a "spotty" connection in there, and am willing to overlook it!
    (It's not worth the effort to replace the entire marker light, over one funky little bulb...)
