Wiring question HELP

Does anyone know if there are trace amounts of power available to the front turn signals when the bike is off? If the signal connector was removed would there be ANY power through the connector when the bike is off and the signal switch is off?

I've connected LEDs and for some reason they are NOT totally darkened as is the case with the rear. I am at a loss as to the reason? Does anyone know the Griso wiring well enough to give some input? I don't have available time to take it apart again for several days and I would rather no disconnect the battery. It would seem the draw would be VERY low as there is almost no light but there is a trace glow.

help meeee, I'm stupid with electronics

My guess in there is no current to the signals (or the battery would drain) - If your led light have a resistor to compensate for the current going to them it may be acting like a capacitor and discharging slowly through the LED (just a guess) - I would leave it overnight and see if there are still glowing...
 
Thanks Uncle...

Overnight the battery is totally fine but the glow is still there and only in the fronts. It is very soft but they are not totally off as is the case with the rear. I thought the same thing as you did, maybe they would discharge over night but they don't seem to. You would never notice it in the daylight. It's odd... I was worried but now I'm thinking it's doubtful that this will discharge the battery but if it does after a few days then I'll have to figure something out or put the stockers back on the front.

I was hoping someone would know if it was possible that some draw could happen when the bike is off and the signals aren't switched? I have used the stock plugs in both cases and it's simply a new device now, LED. I know they don't draw a lot of power...odd but the more time that passes the better, I'll feel fine if nothing happens... the very faint glow is more charm and lots of vechicles have leds for alarms and such, they don't discharge anything...
