M-Blaze turn signal working improperly

Hey All!

Seeing if anyone has come across this issue. I have had my m-blaze pin turn signals working properly for over 6 months with no issues after installing them. Today on a ride, the front left turn signal started flashing very fast and very dim. I’m looking at the connection and it looks to be intact. Anyone know what might be happening? Did I get a dud?

Only thing I can think of is that I need a resistor or relay? But I thought these had a built in onboard resistor. This also my first experience with this so I could be totally wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Unit could be defect But check ground wires and connections.
On old vehicles a fast blink turn signal was indicating a bulb burned out.
 
Sounds like the resistor may have failed. If you bought it from me, email me direct. If not, contact whoever you bought them from.

Thanks for your response! Yeah...I checked the connections and they were all fine. I had a brand new m blaze pin available for my other bike I was waiting to install and it works correctly right away. Looks like the unit is defective. Thank you!
 
Hey Everyone,

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'm going through a similar process of swapping my 2013 V7 Racer front turn signals with the mo.blaze pins and it looks like I'm getting hyperflash / fast flashing as well. I was assuming i needed either an LED-aware turn signal relay or some kind of inline resistor to fool the relay. I'm seeing a lot of conflicting info online, ranging from: "the pins have built in resistors" to "there's no turn signal relay on a 2013 V7 racer, it's in the ECU", and everything in between (e.g., compatible relay(s), inline resistors, even a motogadget product called a "M-FLASH RELAY").

long story short, I'm lost, confused, and I'm basically back to wondering if the lights are REALLY flashing fast or maybe I can live with it....

help! :)

any suggestions or feedback is sincerely appreciated.

The turn signal flash is controlled by the dash. So no use to look for an LED compatible flasher. The LED you need to use must have built in resistor, or you need to add resistors to the signal line. This is well covered on this forum, but not all posts on this are in this section.

The flash is controlled by the dash. So you need LEDs with built in resistors, or add resistors to the signal line. This is well covered on this forum, but not all the posts are in this section. Being a believer in KISS principal, I just run standard filament bulbs for this reason.
