Help!!!
I got a problem, while relocating my rear turn signals on my speedy, after re-attaching them I found my rear turn signals are working, but my front ones are not. The rear turn signals are blinking ninety to nothing. I am a wondering what the !@%# I done this time?

I had the same problem when I put LED signals on my America. I just put a load equalizer on her, and took the bulb out of the turn signal indicator on the tank. Now she works like a champ, but I guess since you put the same lights back on, it would't be that. The rapid signal pace would indicate a burnt out light, or maybe a short.

... or disconnected front signals which is the most likely since both the fronts have quit. I can't think what you might have done to the fronts just by moving the rears without more information on what exactly you did. Did you use the same lights or something aftermarket? How did you go about moving the wiring? Have you swapped the font bulbs with the rears just to be sure that it's not the bulbs?

I must have a short in the wiring, I cain't tell where. I started out with aftermarket signals, then I tried the old ones, with the same results. I ran a continuity check on the front bulbs and they checked out ok. I keep blowing fuses.

If you keep blowing fuses it is almost certainly a short.
