Default Turn Signal problem

I bought LED turn signals for the front of my bike, but only the right side works. I have no idea why. Both new turn signals work on the right side of the bike, but when i hook up the left side neither signal will flash. I have checked the wires and the signals. My old turn signals still work correctly on both sides, so it is not a fuse.

Some aftermarket signal lights use a balast resistor. You may want to check the install instructions for your bike.

you could be cool like me and have aftermarket in the back and front...and have them only come on solid.

does your bike use 2 or 3 wire lights?


if just 2, try fliping the wires on tje side that doesn't work. if you have 3 it might be other stuff
