Update: Each turn signal bulb received an appropriate resistor. My bike has no trunk so that saved some time and expense. The LED turn signal relay was replaced with the original Mitsuba. The results are that 1) the auto cancel for the turn signals works as it should 2) the turn signal switch...

Thank you. I wasn't interested in LEDs (based on past experience) but dropped some in my other bike and liked the increased brightness. LED tech has apparently improved over the years. The added visibility is a plus in the area where I live since it gets busier every year. I'll first try one...

Sure enough because I swapped my turn signal switch at the handlebar and the auto cancel unit at the bottom of the steering stem with no joy. I'm looking at the auto cancel wiring diagram and don't know what wire should get the resistor. Can you help with that?

I was tossing this around some more in my head. Maybe the handlebar switch is the problem. The ts switch is designed to go to a neutral/off position either by signal from the auto cancel unit or by manually pushing the switch in and letting go. Mine fails in both modes. My switch must be...

Thanks for replying, Dan. No load resistors, but have installed LED flasher relay to get rid of the hyperflash. Do you advise load resistors with the LED relay? If so, do the get added to the left and right circuit or each bulb or what? (me and electrics = duh) Thanks again!

I recently changed all the bulbs on my '87 Interstate to LEDs. Everything works as it should now, except the turn signal auto cancel stopped auto cancelling. Took it apart. Found a crushed (pink) wire near the steering head. So I changed out it out with a spare unit (removed wiring from the...

Sorry for the late update, I've had health issues but finally got into the fairing today. Removal was actually pretty easy and straightforward. I didn't bother removing the fairing mounting bracket/frame. So...for anyone (in the future) who may have the same question, my Interstate has two...

Thanks. I actually have better pics of the parts than those. Still don't see locks on the connectors; I'm only seeing guides so the pins don't get bent when installing. I bought a sub-harness yesterday off eBay for nine bucks delivered so that I can hold it in my hand to get a look. Thanks...

So are the locking tabs on the fairing/harness side or pocket/sub-harness side of the large connector that houses the several individual connector?

Do the wire harness connectors in the front left (and right) pocket simply pull apart or are there locking tabs on the connectors that I don't see? I'm removing the main fairing for paint. Between tight spaces, progressive lenses in my glasses and not great lighting, I can't get a good...
