Good Evening all,
Short Version: install the load equalizer first to avoid any confusion. Not enough resistance in the circuit will cause things that aren't described in service manual.
Long Version: This week is closing alot better than it started for me. So from the start my Stock signals on my Highball were looking rough/falling apart and needed replacing and had plenty of experience with soldiering/installing bike signals so was more than ready to throw some LED signals on the lady. I orginally bought some cheap signals as place holder until I found what signals I really wanted. Once I swapped them out i knew to expect hyper flash and that's exactly what they did. Everything was functioning exactly as planned and expected. At this point I was waiting for my final signals and load equalizer for shipment. Rode around with those for about 2 weeks until I bought what I wanted. Upon receipt of what i wanted, i installed the rear ones first. After install and wiring everything up the same as before I went to test them and BUZZZZZZZZZ. The flasher module was yelling at me. I started poking with a multimeter checking for shorts and pinched wires. The signal would illuminate and only stay on. Double checked continuity, went back to old signals, prayed to Buddha, then I called it quits for that night. The next day went to Victory and bought brand new flasher Module and relay. Once I got home tested the relay and it tested perfect. Scoured the service manual for diagnostics for this issue, studied forum posts, looked at service manual again with no dice. The service tech at victory and the service manual said there was no check for the flasher module so swapped that out and same thing. So after tracing all my wires looking for shorts/pinched wires to no avail I got the screw its. Decided to install everything and sacrifice a baby to the electrical demons. Decided to solder the signals, load equalizer and BAM the signals start to function properly. After triple checking voltage outputs and triple checking where I tied the load equalizer up I am satisfied.
Bonus Observation: Fuel Pump does not prime if Flasher Module is not hooked up. Really . . . . REALLY Victory?!?!?! Have a dead bike over a effing flasher module. Positive result out of this is I have an extra module and relay for the 'oh crap' scenario on the road.
