MODULES ARE SHIPPED WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR BOTH OEM APPLICATION AND CUSTOM WIRING. IF YOU ARE BUILDING A BIKE, HAVE A CUSTOM BIKE OR HAVE CUSTOM WIRING , YOU WILL USE THE CUSTOM WIRING DIAGRAM . DO NOT MIX THESE , EITHER YOU HAVE A STOCK BIKE THAT HAS NOT BEEN GOOFED AROUND WITH , OR YOU HAVE A BIKE THAT WAS PROBABLY WORKED ON BY SOMEONE’S BUDDY , WHO KNEW A GUY THAT THOUGHT HE NEW HOW TO WIRE A TOASTER OVEN , FOR USE IN A FISHING BOAT .

OEM WIRING : THE MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTION IS : WHY WON’T THE TURN SIGNALS SHUT OFF ? LOOKING AT YOUR INSTRUCTIONS, ( ON STEP 5 & 6 AND 7 & 8 ON THE OLD 7 WIRE MODULE ) AND ( STEP 3 & 4 AND 5 & 6 ON THE NEW 6 WIRE MODULE III ) THE INSTALLER FAILS TO SNIP THE PURPLE AND BROWN WIRE. DO NOT " T " INTO THE PURPLE AND BROWN WIRE, YOU MUST CUT THESE WIRES , TRUST ME ! THEN CONNECT THE PURPLE WIRE FROM THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH IN THE HANDLEBAR CONTROL LOOM TO THE PURPLE WIRE ON THE MODULE , THEN THE SAME ON THE OTHER SIDE, BROWN FROM THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH TO BROWN ON THE MODULE . " BUT HOW DOES THE POWER GET BACK TO THE REAR TURN SIGNALS IF I CUT THAT WIRE "!. ON ( STEP 9 & 10 ON THE OLD 7 WIRE MODULE ) AND ( STEP 7 & 8 ON THE NEW 6 WIRE MODULE ) THE POWER GOES TO THE FRONT TURN SIGNALS , BACK TO THE NYLON CONNECTOR , CROSSES OVER A JUNCTION BRIDGE , UP TO THE INDICATORS AND CONTINUES BACK TO THE REAR TURN SIGNAL WIRES.

THE SIGNALS COME ON AND SHUT OFF, BUT DO NOT BLINK : ( ON THE OLD 7 WIRE MODULE ) THIS IS A FLASHER PROBLEM , YOU PROBABLY PUT SMALLER TURN SIGNALS ON. YOU CAN SOLVE THAT PROBLEM BY USING A LOAD EQUALIZER OR REPLACING YOUR FLASHER WITH A HEAVY DUTY FLASHER, ( WAGNER # 552 - 2 PRONG HEAVY DUTY FLASHER ). IF YOU HAVE REAL SMALL BULBS YOU MAY NEED BOTH THE LOAD EQUALIZER AND THE HEAVY DUTY FLASHER. IF YOU ARE RUNNING LED’S . YOU NEED TO UPGRADE TO THE AUTOMATIC TURN SIGNAL VERSION III , WHICH HAS A BUILT IN FLASHER THAT WILL RUN REALLY SMALL TURN SIGNALS AND LED’S .

MY NEW VERSION III COMES ON AND THEN SHUTS OFF : THIS NEW MODULE HAS THE FEATURE WHERE YOU CAN HIT IT , MAKE A LANE CHANGE , HIT IT AGAIN , AND IT WILL SHUT OFF . THE MODULE IS NOT WIRED CORRECTLY , IT IS RUNNING IN A LOOP . AGAIN , THE PURPLE AND BROWN WIRE CAN ONLY BE WIRED TO THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH . THESE WIRES GET THE MOMENTARY PULSE OF POWER WHEN YOU PUSH IN THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH .

I THINK MINE IS BROKEN : IF THIS UNIT QUITS WORKING, IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO JUST THROW IN ANOTHER MODULE . WHAT PROBABLY HAPPENED IS ONE OF THE POWER WIRES RUBBED ON THE FENDER OR FRAME THROUGH THE INSULATION EXPOSING THE BARE WIRE . IT TOUCHES METAL AND IMMEDIATELY SHORTS OUT THE MODULE. UNTIL YOU LOCATE THE OFFENDING WIRE IT WILL CONTINUE TO SHORT OUT A NEW MODULE , SO GET IN THERE AND TRACE DOWN THAT SHORTED WIRE. WE DO WARRANTY ALL OF OUR PRODUCTS. SHIP US THE MODULE AND WE WILL TEST IT FOR YOU. THE ONLY REASON WE WILL NOT WARRANTY THIS MODULE IS IF IT WAS SHORTED AS STATED ABOVE , WE CAN TELL THIS IMMEDIATELY ONCE IT IS HOOKED UP TO OUR TEST BOARD.

SHORTS , THINK ABOUT THIS . IF YOU TOOK A LONG BLADED SCREW DRIVER AND TOUCHED ONE SIDE TO THE BATTERIES POSITIVE POST , AND PUT THE OTHER SIDE ON THE BATTERIES NEGATIVE POST, HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE FOR THE METAL BLADE TO START GLOWING ORANGE AND MELT . ABOUT 3 OR 4 SECONDS . THAT’S WHAT A SHORT DOES TO AN ELECTRONIC MODULE . AS ABOVE STATED , TAKE YOUR TIME , USE HEAT SHRINK AND AVOID SHARP EDGES OR CORNERS .

MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS : I DON’T HAVE A CIRCUIT BREAKER LIKE THE ONE ON THE DIAGRAM.. THE NEWER BIKES HAVE WEDGE STYLE AUTOMOTIVE CIRCUIT BREAKERS. SIMPLY LOCATE THE ( CIRCUIT BREAKER GROUP HOLDER ) . COMING OUT OF THE HOLDER IS A BLUE WIRE, USE YOUR TEST LIGHT TO PROBE THE BLUE WIRE, IT SHOULD NOT LIGHT UP UNTIL YOU TURN THE KEY ON. YOU CAN ALSO USE A ORANGE WIRE OR ORANGE WIRE WITH A WHITE STRIPE , AS ABOVE , IT SHOULD BE OFF UNTIL THE KEY COMES ON . THIS IS THE WIRE YOU NEED TO FIND FOR CONNECTING THE ORANGE WIRE ON STEP 10 IN REFERENCE TO YOUR INSTRUCTION SHEET.

FAILURE TO CUT THE TURN SIGNAL WIRES : ON STEP 6 & 8 OF THE INSTRUCTION SHEET, INSTALLERS FAIL TO SEE THE " CUT " , ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT TURN SIGNAL WIRES .YOU MUST RUN THE TURN SIGNAL POWER FROM THE CONNECTOR BLOCK , POWER IN TO THE MODULE AND POWER OUT OF THE MODULE TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT REAR TURN SIGNALS . DUDE ! I CAN’T MAKE THE " CUT " ANY BIGGER , PLEASE SEE YOUR LOCAL VISION SPECIALIST .

YES, THIS MODULE DOES 3 FUNCTIONS ON A SINGLE FILAMENT BULB : THIS MODULE WAS DESIGNED TO RUN A SINGLE FILAMENT BULB IN 3 MODES, RUNNING / BRAKE / AND TURN SIGNAL . HARLEY’S USE AN 1156 AUTOMOTIVE BULB IN THE REAR FOR A TURN SIGNAL, THAT IS WHAT THIS MODULE WAS DESIGNED AROUND, HOWEVER IT WORKS JUST AS WELL WITH SMALLER STANDARD BULBS, HALOGEN BULBS AND LED’S .

I HAVE DUAL FILAMENT BULBS : I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU TIE BOTH OF YOUR TURN SIGNAL WIRES TOGETHER PRODUCING THE MOST AMOUNT OF BRIGHTNESS ON ALL THREE FUNCTIONS. ON DUAL FUNCTION LED TURN SIGNALS , YOU DO THE SAME THING . TWIST TOGETHER THE LOW AND HIGH INTENSITY WIRES ( CAREFUL YOUR NOT TWISTING THE GROUND WIRE WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED WIRES ) , LET THE MODULE DO THE CONTROLLING .

CAN I USE THIS ON A BIKE OTHER THAN A HARLEY OR CUSTOM V-TWIN? THERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS FOR OTHER BIKES, THE FIRST PROBLEM IS:  ARE RED LENSES AVAILABLE FOR YOUR TURN SIGNALS, OR CLEAR LENSES WITH A RED BULB OR RED LED INSERTS? IT IS ILLEGAL TO RUN AMBER IN THE REAR, THAT IS ON CONSTANTLY, THEREFORE YOU MUST RUN RED LENSES IN THE REAR OF YOUR MOTORCYCLE. PROBLEM TWO: IF YOU PUT SMALLER TURN SIGNALS ON , THEY WILL FLASH MUCH FASTER THAN NORMAL , WHICH IS NOT A BAD THING BUT IT DOES ANNOY SOME PEOPLE.

JAN 2011 : WE NOW HAVE A COMPLETE LINE OF METRIC : RUN BRAKE & TURN MODULES AS WELL AS LOAD EQUALIZERS. SCROLL UP TO THE TOP OF THIS PAGE AND CLICK ON : PRODUCTS, THEN SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PRODUCTS PAGE AND CLICK ON : METRIC BIKES, AND EUROPEAN TOO. HERE YOU WILL FIND METRIC / EUROPEAN APPLICATIONS FOR OUR MODULES

I THINK MINE IS BROKEN : MY WIFE’S 92 FXR IS ONE OF THE FIRST MOTORCYCLES I TESTED THE ILLUMINATOR ON , THAT WAS IN 1997 . IT IS STILL WORKING PERFECTLY TODAY ( 4 / 2005 ). MOST OF THE MODULES I RECEIVE BACK HAVE BEEN SHORTED , OTHER THAN SHORTED OUT MODULES WE DO WARRANTY THESE MODULES 100 % . AGAIN, LIKE THE AUTOMATIC TURN SIGNAL SHUT OFF MODULE , IF A POWER LEAD RUBS ON THE FRAME AND THE INSULATION COMES OFF AND TOUCHES THE FRAME OR FENDER, YOU HAVE A DIRECT SHORT . FEEL FREE TO SEND ANY MODULE IN QUESTION BACK TO US AND WE WILL TEST IT ON OUR TEST BOARD , PROVIDING IT IS NOT SHORTED OUT ( BURNT ) WE WILL REPLACE IT AT NO CHARGE.

THE ILLUMINATOR PLUG IN : THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS , THIS IS THE SAME MODULE AS THE HARD WIRE VERSION . I HAVE RECEIVED ONLY 3 OF THESE MODULES BACK IN TWO YEARS . THAT’S HOW I KNOW THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT WITH ONLY .00003 FAILURE RATE . TAKE THAT ALL YOU OVERSEAS COPY CATS !

ON 2005 DRESSERS , RADIO NOISE HAS DEVELOPED . THE FIX IS EASY , GO TO ILLUMINATOR PLUG IN ( TECH SHEET ). YOU WILL FIND THE SIMPLE FIX OF MOVING THE ORANGE POWER WIRE , AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CLEARLY HEAR ONCE AGAIN , THE MOST OVER PLAYED BIKER SONG IN THE WORLD, " BORN TO BE WILD " .
