I need a little help here guys... I'm hoping someone with a little more knowledge of the road glide wiring harness will be able to help me out here. I'm putting this in the handlebar/controls forum because this all started after I put my new bars on.
Well, I installed a set of 12" yaffe monkey bars on my 2012 fltrx over the past week or so, and had a fairly uneventful install. The wires gave me a little trouble, but with patience (and the huge help I got from the threads here) I was able to get everything done. I took the bike for my first ride since the install today and I can't say enough about how much more comfortable these bars are over stock. The great thing was obviously that I could u pin the connectors and use the stock wire (run internally).
Everything went back together smoothly, and I believe everything is correct, but I am having a new issue... When I use both the front and rear brake simultaneously, the right turn signal turns on. It doesn't do it when I hit only the front, or only the back, but when used together.
I want to think that I did something wrong, or accidentally chaffed a wire, but I don't know enough about the road glide harness to know how hitting both brakes could actuate the turn signal. Maybe I pinned one of the wires wrong? Do you think it's just a wire being grounded somewhere, something bigger, rip it all out and start from scratch? The signal shuts off like normal if I get off the brakes and hit the button.
Any input or a suggestion on where to start looking would be greatly appreciated.
I'm mechanically inclided and don't mind tearing into my own vehicles, but I figure maybe someone else had something similar happen.
Thanks guy
