djh3 Posted March 25, 2015 #1 Posted March 25, 2015 I was at the stop light today, and as it was overcast I noticed something. The neutral light and cruise on lig3ht seemed to kind of flash along with the turn signal. Not copletly like the signal indicator does but enough to notice. I'm kind of leaning towards the idea its a ground in the signal sockets. What do you all think? Am I thinking the right way here?
Flyinfool Posted March 25, 2015 #2 Posted March 25, 2015 It might even be that at idle the turn signals are dropping the system voltage enough to dim the lights. This effect will be amplified if you have a very slow idle and / or more than the stock signal lights and/or anything else that is pulling a lot of power to help bring the system voltage down. Hold a higher RPM similar to cruise RPM and see if the issue goes away.
djh3 Posted March 25, 2015 Author #3 Posted March 25, 2015 Yea I did think of the higher idle thing. I do have additional lights, but all are LED run/signal lights. I did rev the motor a little maybe 2-300 rpm and still had same results. Next time I have it out I'll act like a snow bird, and leave the left turn signal on for awhile whilst riding down the road.
