Turn Signals blinking fast, but 4-ways normal. LED's installed. Any ideas?

[Chief-J]

I have a 2011 RT-S. The turn signals (left or right) blinks very fast. All bulbs are good. When I use the four-way flashers, they blink slower (or normal). Could there be a problem with a ground wire?

Thank you.

Have you added any extra turnsignal lights, or changed to LEDs?
If you haven't; then I would suspect a loose connection somewhere...

 

[finless]

Do you have any added lights hooked to the turn signals?
If not then double check all bulbs are working. You could have a couple out in the tail lights that might not look like it unless you inspect closely.
If you have any add-on lights you may need a resistor.

Interesting. ...

Give the search a whirl..there have been some postings on resetting the flasher speed. I think Lamont posted one of them...:thumbup:

This should work to reset your turn signal speed

1. Turn key ON
2. PRESS & HOLD Hazard Button for 30 sec.
3. Cluster will flash once( I never saw this happen)
Reset Complete

Not on a 2011 only 2014 and newer.

The hazard flasher is separate from turn signal operation and is made to flash proper speed regardless of too many or too few bulbs. You have too much or too little load on the T/S system. At worst the cluster has a problem.

OMG Joe what would we do without you watching over all of us?
It works just like you said (But my Cluster did flash)
Thanks your the Wizard:bowdown::bowdown::clap::yes:

:roflblack::roflblack:, Some times things work. ( I thought it worked on all models but maybe not)

Do you have a trailer harness? That, in combination with added LEDs, will cause the blinkers to blink fast.

 

[Flospyrida]

Yep added the BRP Hitch and Harness, hooked up the trailer lights to bike and signals would flash like strobes.
Trailer wiring is 5 wire + ground.

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.

Army-All-The Way

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

Try this...

1. Turn key ON
2. PRESS & HOLD Hazard Button for 30 sec.
3. Cluster will flash once
Reset Complete

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.

It worked for my14rts but only for the right side signals. The left side still hyper flashes.

You have to do it on both sides separately.

 

[scarecrow]

I did it several time with no luck. Right side flashes ok, but left side hyper flashes.

 

[scarecrow]

Oh well

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