Tisunac Posted October 7, 2014 #1 Posted October 7, 2014 I have a tail light bar installed on my bike for a while. The one that flashes several times when pressed, and then stay on. Worked well for a number of years. Now the relay for it is dead. It's the one installed under the seat, with three wires coming out of it. Little black plastic box with "Made in China" and "Model 618" signs on it. I've unhooked it, connected it straight and it's working - but it's not flashing. Just on or off. Anybody knows where I can buy just the relay??? Thanks for your help, guys.
BratmanXj Posted October 7, 2014 #2 Posted October 7, 2014 Custom Dynamics, J&P Cycles & Dennis Kirk all have listings for various tail light flasher circuits.
M61A1MECH Posted October 7, 2014 #3 Posted October 7, 2014 Does your modulator have dip switches on it where you can set different patterns? If it does try using a different setting to see if that works, could be part of the IC chip that controls it is bad and other part scould still be OK. Just a thought.
Motiv Posted October 8, 2014 #4 Posted October 8, 2014 Check the link below, I have used this unit for several years and still working. https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/strobe-controllers/brake-light-strobe-module/195/
XV1100SE Posted October 8, 2014 #5 Posted October 8, 2014 I have the Rivco flasher. Flashes for 5 seconds then solid. http://rivcoproducts.com/products/product.php?productid=25
Tisunac Posted October 8, 2014 Author #6 Posted October 8, 2014 Thank you very much, guys. In the beginning I thought that is a relay and later on realized it is actually a modulator. It was on the bike when I bought it, I guess. So, I'll just replace it with a 3-wired unit from superbrightleds since I don't need additional programs, the main program is just fine. Thanks once again, everybody.
pofarm Posted October 9, 2014 #7 Posted October 9, 2014 Make sure whatever you get is compatible with the tail light (incandescent or LED). Some work with both types, some are specific.
djh3 Posted October 9, 2014 #8 Posted October 9, 2014 Like Steve said. Look it over before committing to buy a new one. Some of these have little "tic" switches on them to change patterns. So say it use to flash 5 times and come one full. By moving a switch or 2 it may flash 7 times come on steady flash 2 more and then steady. The place where it is now may just be "burned out" Its free to check and may save some gas money.
Tisunac Posted October 9, 2014 Author #9 Posted October 9, 2014 Thank you guys. My old modulator was a simple one, with just one pre-programed option. The one I'm ordering is (apparently) for LED lights and all my tail lights are LED. Based on that, it should work.
