99 FXDX rear turn ?

[flstcruss]

Hello all

Just picked up 99 FX and need some info on rear turns.
where is flasher located and is the rear wiring for the turns located in the same loom as the rear brake lite assembly or is it seperate. I currently only have front turns they lite but dont flash and there is nothing that I can see (wire wise) for the rears.

Thanks Russ

Sounds like someone removed the rear sigs. If you remove the rear taillight and check with a test light you should find the sig power there, many choices there, perhaps someone on the forum has a stock set reasonable or perhaps yo like the look without sigs. kyurakin makes a taillight with built in signals (not legal everywhere due to the separation not far enough from taillight). Good luck with your lights but there are many solutions osut there, on my fxdi3500 I use a billet layback taillight housing with integral mounts for the signals that us the stock harly sigs and find that look good for my tastes,

There's not a flasher like you would have on a car. There's a turn signal module-TSM-located under the electrical panel cover on the left side just rear of the coil. The TSM has some smarts built into it, it figures out when to cancel the turnsignals, knows when a bulb is burned out, etc. Normally if a back bulb is burned out or missing, the front signal will flash normally for a few times and then start flashing fast when you press the button. The previous owner may have done something to prevent the fronts from flashing after he removed the rears, disconnected the wires maybe. There's not a separate fuse for the turn signals on the newer Dynas, not 100% sure on a 99. The wiring for the rear signals is in the same harness that the brake/tail light is in. There's a plug under the seat that can disconnect all the rear lighting. The rear turn signals themselves plug into the circuit board under the taillight lens.

Russ, the thing where the signals flash normal a few times then start flashing fast goes back to at least '03. Possible that the '99 models just didn't flash at all with a burnt out or missing bulb. I'm pretty sure the fronts not working is related to the rears being gone, though.

Yea thats what I was thinking not gunna sweat that till I get the rears up and running! Pulled the rear lens last nite and found where the turns plug in to the base , one was missing one had the plug w/o wires. Did get one of the rear assemblies w/ the bike and it is the one the wire's were pulled out of so will have to find one plug ( bet thats gunna be fun)
