I put my turn signals back on and they don't seem to want to flash...will light up but won't flash. Did I forget to hook up the right relay? I didn't omit anything. Did the cylinder flash thing (lol I'm totally dumb) stop working or broke in transit? I checked the wiring diagram and all seems well. Hazards don't flash either.

Check the actual flasher unit.... cylinder with two prongs on it.
Called a turn signal or flasher relay.....

Is your battery fully charged? With the original flasher unit, the turn signals on my bike would light but not flash unless the battery was fully charged. I replaced the flasher unit with a Tridon/Stant 552 2 prong electronic flasher (nearly any car parts store sells them for less than $10) and now they flash at a constant speed even if the battery is a little low.

Did you replace standard bulbs with LED bulbs? Many flashers have to draw enough current to get the flasher to flash. LEDs don't draw enough current. You have to buy an LED flasher.

Nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.

Battery is brand new and holding great current. I'm no wiring guru so I'll check to see if the relays are working. If not, I'll replace as they are pretty cheap. Also stock lights though I do want to go aftermarket to a low draw system.
