Just fitted kuryakyn led indicators to my 04 America ,correctly wired up with
Load equaliser. When I pushed switch all four indicators came on together after a lot of head scratching put on original front indicators and They all worked fine. Has anyone had the same problem.is there a fix for this .
Cheers glen

There is a diode that prevents that from happening. the wiring diagram dont show it, but for both sides to cause that dash light to flash there has to be one.

Did you replace the dash indicator too? The dash indicator is across the hot leads in the circuit and it might be the culprit due to the impedence difference. When I put a LED in my dash I learned that I had to use two, one polarized each direction. I think there is a proper LED available for that function now.
