Ok, I'm screwed up...Wiring turn signal help needed

[NorBSATriGuzzi]

I bought some Rizoma LED signals. http://www.pjsparts.com/catalog/product_in...;products_id=48

 

Wired them up straight and all 4 stayed on continuously. SO I ordered the resistors http://www.pjsparts.com/catalog/product_in...products_id=137

 

wired them in 3 flashed one did nothing, 2 flashed 1 had some of the LED's lit...got frustrated and buckled the rear under fender up tried them again and now the right side works great, left side front flashes, rear does nothing (could be my connection) but I now have no Brake light from either brake??????

 

Any wisdom for me....please?!

Wow. Not that I have anything helpfull to add but this sounds like its going down hill quick. best of luck with that.

Does the tail light work ?

If not the tail light ground wire could have come off, I'd take the bodywork tailpiece off and check all the wiring connectors, it could also be a faulty resistor (I assume its 1 per lamp) or you've wired the RH indicator backwards (+ to -)

Ok, it looks like, coincidentally, the brake light burned out...so now I am just down to left rear not working (that would be my connection most likely) as for resistors, PJ's parts says 1 per side...usually. Thanks for the input...I'll post more when the demons return.

I'm sure you've already checked this, but the connectors that are in/under the tail cowling are crap, and I had a lot of problems with them when I got the bike. And even if that's not the problem, you probably should change them out for something better while you're messing with it.

Hmm. Did you try switching the positive/negative leads on the left rear? Maybe they got flipped when installing the resistor? Current only flows one way on LED turn signals, so if the poles are flipped you get nothing.

 

I had an epic battle with my LED signals on my 02/03 Sport. The console turn indicator is wired way funky from the factory. The ground path for the console indicator routes all the way through the turn signal circuit, bulb included, opposite the signal being used (if that makes sense...) This caused all four signals to light up. I had to rewire the console indicator to get everything to work properly. If you want diagrams/instructions/schematics, let me know.
