I Installed a 4way emergency flasher kit and they worked BUT when I turn the bike on and check the turn signal all 4 flash, what am I overlooking? pls help
It would help if you could supply the wiring diagram to the 4 way flasher kit. You might try taking a close picture of it and uploading it. It might also help to give us more info on your bike... I'm assuming it's an 09 Shadow... but which one?
You need to add diodes to keep the current separate from 4 way to 2 way, right they are linked together.Add the diodes from the 4 way switch one each to the turn signal, left and right .Something close to this.6 AMP 1000 VOLT RECTIFIER | All Electronics Corp.
Sorry guys forgot to add my bike info: 09 aero 750, the way it shows to wire it is from the battery to the separate switch, switch to relay then split the output relay into 2 wires then tap into the left and right turn signal wires. Now the instructions says the diodes are for L.E.D. lights. that worked fine and all 4 lights flashed but when I turned the regular(handle bar) blinker switch on again all 4 were blinking instead of regular left and right.
Here's an update, the reason i was having issues was because the relay was a bad one. The company sent a new one and wala it works beautifully, thanks to all who tried to help. Ride safe my friends
Related question: If you are stopped in traffic and don't have 4-way flashers, do you turn on your Left turn signal? I've done that once or twice, and also flashed my brake light when a car was approaching. Might have helped... I'm still here!
