Front & Rear turn signal

Front & rear lights illuminate but no turn signal or break lights, I did find a short whereas after a rear bearing went out at 65mph the tire rubbed into one of the rear lights cable shorting the red & black. I checked the fuse with the fluke, not blown as I expected. I've taken it all apart from the wiring connector as to add a Badlands "Illuminator" After unplugging the rear connector for the lights, I expected the front turn signals would work but not. Is it possible that there is further damage? I have a wiring diagram but it doesn't show a turn/brake signal module. I spoke with J&P they said the Badlands module would cure it??? Thanks for the help.

Not familiar with the Softail Rocker, but the 2009 Baggers have a "Turn Signal Security Module" (TSSM) as one unit.
This is what it looks like:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/Bulldogxj/Picture001-1.jpg

Mine is under the seat.

Testimonial: "Stretch thanks, I found the signal cancelling unit but the wire from that goes under & behind the battery, but not sure. I've been reading the (TSSM) might need to be reset? That's what the Badlands Illuminator literature refers to but not sure if the TSSM, could be damaged or how to test it? All of the lights flash when I turn the bike off so I think the TSSM module is working in that aspect."

    Pull the error codes. To retrieve fault codes: With engine run/stop switch in the RUN position, hold odometer reset button while turning ignition switch to ON position. Speedometer back lights wil come on, needle swings to top speed position, indicator lights will come on. Release reset button. "diag" should display in odometer. Push and release odometer reset button. The letter "P" will flash (ECM/ICM info obtainable). Record any error codes. If none are present, "NONE" will scroll across screen. Press and hole reset button for more than 5 seconds to go to next mode ("S" = TSM/TSSM/HFSM mode). When done with all modes, switch off ignition. Post any error codes.

    OK, after DIAG "P" SSPtb, "P"=none then PN 32919-076, then went into the "S"=none then PN 69976-08, next "SP"=none then PN 67517-08, "t"= no rSP, "b"= no rSP

    So the TSSM IS reading the module (PN 69976-08), and it seems you have no error codes. Does the Badlands Illuminator literature tell how to reset the TSSM?

    Here's the reset procedure:

  • Strech
    Strech Jun 20, 2013

    always wait for confirmation before hitting the next step: step # 1. move handle bar kill switch to off position step # 2. turn your ignition key: on-off, on-off then on step # 3. hit the left turn signal twice. your turn signals and indicator light will flash 1 - 3 flashes step # 4. hit the right turn signal once. turn signals and indicator light will flash once. step # 5. hit the right turn signal once. turn and indicator signals will flash twice. step # 6. hit right turn signal once. turn and indicator signals will flash three times. step # 7. hit left turn signal once. turn and indicator signals flash to indicate error code (see error code thread) step # 8. to now clear codes, hit left turn signal and hold down for 6 seconds until confirmation. turn and indicator signals flash twice. step # 9. turn the ign switch to off

    Strech, got it. after no results on the reset I decided to also check out the accessories fuse "blown" the fuse for the lights was ok. Everything's fine, probably didn't even need the Badlands "Illuminator" module but I do like the brightness. I really appreciate your help. I can't say thank you enough.

    Whoops! When you said you checked THE fuse, I musta misread it as you checked ALL the fuses. Well, at least now you know you don't have any stored error codes.

SOURCE: Speedo, turn signals, brake lights, horn stopped working. All else is fine.

Gap your plugs to 38 thou. Check all your bulbs (one burned out will affect the rest) Take a look at all your fuses and make sure they are all ok. Otherwise you are probably looking at a wiring short which will require trouble shooting of the elctrical system. Buy your self a service manual for your bike, this will help you a lot.

SOURCE: My rear tail light does not work when the front

You should have two filaments in the reat taillight lamp, one for tail light and one for brake light. You are not confusing these filaments/functions are you?

What you seem to be saying to me is that you have a lamp that had no tail light filament (burned out) but does have a brake light filament still intact.

Remove the light and check it visually and/or with a contunity tester.

I hope this helps you ...

If I misunderstood your question, please ask me again

SOURCE: 1993 Heritage Softail Classic motorcycle. Front

First, I'd try replacing the bulbs in both the front and rear turn signals. See what happens, that's pretty inexpensive to try.

The turn signals are controlled by the turn signal cancelling unit. You didn't mention if the problem was on just one side or if it was on both sides of the bike. I'd try to find someone that had a known good unit that would allow me to try it. The reason, they're expensive. The last one I installed cost nearly $150.

2011 Kia Sorento. The left rear blinker on my 2011 Sorento is not working.

How do I know if my flasher relay is bad?

Symptom of a bad or failing turn signal / hazard flasher is hazards or turn signal lights that do not function. If the flasher breaks or has any internal issues it can cause the lights to malfunction, or not respond at all when the turn signal lever or hazard light button are pressed.

    Turn Signal Lamps
    The FRT/TRN/HAZ/CRTSY/MIRR and REAR/TRN/HAZ fuses in the underhood fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the body control module (BCM). When the turn signal switch is placed in either the left or right position, a signal is sent to the BCM to illuminate the desired turn signal lamps. The BCM has an internal flasher that sends an ON-OFF voltage signal to either the left or right turn signals and their instrument panel cluster (IPC) indicator. When the hazard switch is pressed, a separate ground signal is sent to the BCM to activate and flash all turn signal lamps including both IPC turn indicators. The front and rear turn signals are grounded at G105, G350 and G340. The sound for the turn signal indicators is produced by the IPC.

08 Buick lucerne cxl. Third brake light works as well as front signal lights. No rear brake lights or turn signals. Tail lights and headlights and third brake lights works. Bulbs good. Help

Stop Lamps
The brake pedal position sensor is used to sense the action of the driver application of the brake pedal. The body control module (BCM) provides a 5-volt reference voltage and low reference to the brake pedal position sensor. The position sensor provides an analog voltage signal back to the BCM that will increase as the brake pedal is applied. When the brake is applied, the BCM will then apply battery voltage to the left and right stop/turn signal lamp supply voltage circuits and the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) supply voltage circuit illuminating the stop lamps. At the same time the BCM applies battery voltage through the signal circuit to the transmission control module (TCM) and the engine control module (ECM) indicating that the brakes are applied.
Ground for the stop lamps is supplied as follows:
• G402 provides ground for the left rear stop/tail/turn signal lamps
• G403 provides ground for the right rear stop/tail/turn signal lamps
• G301 provides ground for the CHMSL
The stop lamps on this vehicle will not illuminate unless the ignition is in the accessory, run, or crank positions. When the ignition is in the OFF position the stop lamps will not illuminate when the brake pedal is applied.
Battery voltage from the LT TRN/SIG and RT TRN/SIG fuses located in the rear fuse block is also used by the body control module (BCM) for stop lamp operation.

Turn Signal Lamps
Battery voltage supplied to the body control module (BCM) from the fuses listed below is used for turn signal and hazard lamp operation.
• LT TRN/SIG fuse for the left turn signals
• CTSY/RF TRN fuse for the right front turn signal
• RR TRN/SIG fuse for the right rear turn signal
When the turn signal switch is place in either the LEFT or RIGHT position, ground from G300 is applied through the turn signal switch signal circuit to the BCM indicating the turn signal request. In response to this signal, the BCM applies a pulsating voltage to the front and rear turn signal lamps supply voltage circuits cycling the lamps ON and OFF. At the same time the BCM sends a GMLAN serial data message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to cycle the appropriate turn signal indicator ON and OFF.
Ground for the turn signal lamps is supplied as follows:
• G104 provides ground for the left and right front turn signal lamps
• G402 provides ground for the left rear stop/tail/turn signal lamps
• G403 provides ground for the right rear stop/tail/turn signal lamps

Left bleaker and break light not working. Turn signal works bleaks faster than right side.

Has the vehicle been in an accident on the left rear side. First check the bulb to be sure it is not defective, trade it out with the side that works properly to test. If the bulb works well then My thought are you may have a shorted wire. The turn signal flasher works by heat build up within the flasher the heat is caused by the load of the bulbs, the load heats the metal spring causing it to open the circuit then as quickly as it cools down the circuit closes again lighting the bulbs.
There is also a possibility of a defect in the turn signal mechanism on the steering column. The turn signal switch on many models does three different things on many models that use the same bulb element / or bulb for brake and turn on rear of vehicle. It controls the circuit for brake light by sending power both left and right side rear when turn signal is in neutral position then when turn signal is in left turn the switch cancels brake light power to left side rear and supplies flasher power to left side while maintaining brake light supply to the right side rear, and so on opposite when the right turn is chosen on turn signal switch. The turn signal indicators on the dash normally run off the same circuit as front turn signal bulb only which is also controlled by turn signal switch. Front has turn signals but no brake light.
I think there is an additional load on the left side rear turn circuit and it could be either a wire that is shorted or the turn signal switch if the same bulb element is used for both functions.
Often times if trailer lighting is connected the flasher will also blink a little faster because of the extra load of additional bulbs.

1987 F-350 1 Ton Dump; after breaking a RR turn/brake light housing by backing into a firewood pile while delivering firewood, I have lost front & rear brake & turn signals. My ohm meter indicates...

The fuse #5 next to the flasher should be for the turn signals. Fuse number 1 is for the stop and hazard circuit. Everything goes thru the turn signal switch so the short could be in there. You would need to unplug the turn signal switch to check the circuits with an ohm meter.
The brake and signal circuits are separate until they get to the turn signal switch.

My rear right turn signal does not work. The indicator light on the dash for the right turn signal flashes quicker then usual. Looking at the fuse panel, I don't know which fuse works the rear right turn...

Usually when the signal is blinking fast it just means the bulb is broken, disconnected, or the wire may have a short or break in it. take care and good luck. Especially if the front one is working.
