Turn signal issue?

Help,

I'm having an issue with my left rear turn signal. For some reason it blinks dim and all signals seem to blink faster than normal. For some reason my license plate light is out, but that's another issue but may be related. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My bike is a 1999 model.

Thanks

Harley

Check the indicator bulbs front and rear and in the gauge cluster... A blown bulb decreases power draw and makes it blink faster, which looks like it's dimmed...

I had a similar issue.... the front left bulb was bad, but not completely out/bad.... made the Left signal blink fast on the dash and rear, I couldn't figure out what was up since they were all working.... I started replacing the bulbs one at a time, and when I swaped that one, everything was fine.

Here is my problem...The left turn signals blink faster, and everyone once in a while when i turn off the right lights the front left light goes out. If i turn on the left side they come back on. Its not a 100% thing just everyone once in a while.

I do have integrated LED tail light.

Any ideas?
