HD Run/Brake/Turn Signal Module

[Tech23]

I have a 2000 FXDWG that came equipped with the old style large diameter turn signal assemblies which have been phased out by the smaller bullet style turn signal assemblies. I have installed the early HD module (brake/turn signal) that adds just the brake light function to the turn signals (which came packaged with large diameter red flat lenses). My question is will the later style HD Run/Brake/Turn Signal module plug right in (same harness connections) and work on my bike, to add the running light function. And yes I am talking about changing out the modules...not adding another one. The run/brake/TS packaging states for 2002 and up Wide Glide. I am thinking this is because the 2002 models had the smaller diameter bullet style turn signal assemlies from the factory and the module comes packaged with the smaller bullet style red lenses. I plan to purchase just the module (part# 69467-06A), not in kit form with the lenses. The 2002 model was the first year for the bullet style turn signals....right? The 2000 and 2002 models apparently both use single element rear turn signal bulbs if the 2002 application module also adds the two additional functions (running and brake). I am thinking as long as the module and my harness connectors are the same this should work and plug right in.

Also will the stock charging system be able to keep the battery charged with the addition of two more bulbs illminated full time...(running light function). I have the Harley Davidson LED tail light which should have reduced the current draw some. My turn signals are still incandescent bulbs.

Thanks,

The older style turn signal assemblies and the bullet signals all function the same. Changing them does not change anything other than looks.

I am not changing the turn signal assemblies or its looks. I am wanting to know if changing from the dual function module (turn/brake) to the triple function module (run/brake/turn) is going to work, and are the connections the same.

Dunno about your '02. The older and the newer modules each worked on my '03 Dyna. I don't think your light style is material.

But as my wife would point out......I could be wrong.

Thanks for the replys...

I have a 2000 model year...I only mentioned the light styles because the triple function module kit comes packaged with the bullet style red lenses. I believe that is why the 2000 (and 2001) model year is excluded from the applicable models...not because the module won't plug in or work.

Now for the second question in my post...Incandescent bulbs draw more current than LED's...will running two more incandescent bulbs (the running light function) have enough of an amp draw on the stock charging system output to make a difference? I have the HD LED tail light (which should draw less current that the stocker) and commonly use high beam during the day.

thanks,

Very little draw difference using the RLs. Your tail light being a LED will make up for part of it. Assuming your HL bulb is stock, you'll use 5W more on high beam than low beam. I think the safety aspect more than makes up for the draw. I don't see any problems for you assuming all your wiring is clean and tight.

Sorry I misread your bike year on your original post.

Hey, no big deal it apparently only matters as far as the syle turn signal assemblies that came on the bike. Thanks for your input...Yes HL bulb is stock. I just wanted to be sure the charging system would not be taxed. These systems seem to only have enough output to just get the job done. I agree the more light outback the better.

did it on my sons 01 FXDWG,, bullet turn signals and the HD conversion for run/brake lights and it works perfectly with no problems at all...

Just wanted to update the thread....

tugboat....yes I did it today and it works fine. I bought just the module rather than the kit that is pre packaged with the bullet lenses I can't use. Strange but the triple function module (run/brake/turn) is smaller in size than the dual function (turn/brake) module I had installed previously. It did plug right in with no wiring modifications necessary. So like I thought the pre packaged module/lenses which states 2002 Dyna and up and excludes the 2000 and 2001 model on the label is only because of the bullet style lenses in the package. Electrically it will operate the single element rear turn signal bulbs to add the running light and brake light function, and connector wise all is the same. Plug and play.
