2010 Kawasaki VN900 Lehman Storm Turn Signals

[stancotreau]

Hello all, I've never had an issue with my directionals until today. My bike is a 2010 Kawasaki VN900 Trike with a Lehman Storm kit. The previous owner installed a NAMZ hot Box, which automatically cancels the directionals. Today I noticed the Right tailings were not blinking (front was blinking fine). When I turn on the left directionals, the right one also blinks, but it is very dim. Has anyone had this issue? Any ideas as to what is causing this?

In many cases, odd electrical occurrences happen usually because of a problem with a ground somewhere. Sometimes it's a loose ground wire, a corroded mounting point, or a connector with ground wire that has overheated for some reason. I would see if you can get a diagram of the turn signal circuit(s) and also check the grounding of that NAMZ device.

Bad ground.The power is looking for ground and finding it through the right light.That's why its dimly blinking.

I've been looking and checking everything I can find that may be connected to this issue... I finally waved the white flag and made an appointment to have a professional look at this..... stay tuned, I will let you know what they find. I do appreciate everyone who took the time to answer..... Stan

Well as Inspector Callahan would say, "A man's gotta know his limitations".

The verdict is in. The problem is a faulty turn signal module. The dealership found a replacement, and I should get the bike back on Monday.

Glad to hear that it's been figured out. Electrical troubleshooting can get complicated and sometimes it's best left to the professionals.
