NOW I'M FED UP

[JUSTME1951]

I previously posted my frustration with the auto canceling turn signals but now i'm really at the end of my rope. My signals are cancelling even during slowdown, braking and downshifting.
I will find a way to bypass the auto part. Afterall, big rigs don't have auto cancel. Are class A drivers more intellige

knowing the way things are today, the turn signal cancel is probably run through a computer.

No doubt. Everything nowdays is made to make life difficult for old ppl.
Eg: the National Park Service is bias against us seasoned ones. You need to own and operate a smart phone or computer in order to reserve your vehicle to visit glacier park whereby giving the www personal info.......

It appears to be run through the BCM.

2 wheeled bikes have a calibration feature and calibrated with the bank angle function.
I have read this on other forums and honestly have no personal knowledge or experience, other than it indeed is run through the BCM.

Since our trikes don’t lean, I’m sure it’s similar to the 2 wheelers … but yet different.

Now you may understand why I like older stuff that works.

You and me both!!

Now that you mention the bank angle gizmo / function i do seem to remember when i had a softtail the book mentioning it. Electrical isn't my strong suit but i'll figure a way to bypass the cancelling.
Thanks

Maybe it's a special feature designed to keep old people from getting on the highway with they're left turn signal on ,and driving that way 30 miles to the next exit.

I'd rather be old these days.

What's been done to the trike? Have you tried changing the bulbs? It could be the internal contacts in the switch pack need cleaning.Try doing a wiggle test. The Electrical Diagnostic Manual is usefull. I wouldn't try bypassing...what are you going to do-bypass BCM?

I should have asked this question first: Any codes?

I agree and would not mess with the BCM.

I personally have no experience in this area, but a possibility on this:

The trike BAS (Bank Angle Sensor) is also tied into the “Auto Cancelling turn signals” .
BUT usually the trike (or bike) will also usually have starting/running issues.
Possibly a bad/defective BAS.???

Also if purchased used, it’s a possibility that an aftermarket kit was installed too?

Could be lots of things and I would do the simple ones first as was suggested on checking the switch and wiring in the switch pack. Did someone install LED turn signals and not reprogram the BCM or install a load equalizers for them? Are there any pinched wires going to the turn signals?

If nothing there, pull your speed sensor in the transmission and clean it. A dirty speed sensor while reading speed correctly will fool the TSM/TSSM.

Finally, I would replace the BAS. I don’t know your setup, but it could be an external unit or built in to the TSM/TSSM.

If you are wanting to disable the auto cancelling, I was reading where some of the older bikes has a green wire coming out of the speed sensor that triggers the self cancelling and they were depinning it at the connector to deactivate it. I don’t know that for a fact though, but something you can research more on.
