I installed LED blinkers on my bike and got one of the flasher relays from superbrightLEDs.com that was recommended on this forum. I wired them all up to a battery on a bench to test it and it worked ok. I installed them on my bike, running a PMA and capacitor, and at first they seemed to be blinking but when they were on they were kind of pulsing but extremely fast, not a steady glow. After a little bit they just got extremely dim but I could still see that they were blinking a little. I hooked a 12v battery directly to the power to the turn signal switch and they work ok (just not blinking obviously). I then tried running the relay to the battery then connecting just one turn signal directly to it and the same thing, very faint but still blinking a little.
I'm thinking the relay somehow went bad, but I can't think of anything I did that could have fried it. Could it be just a defective unit? I'd like to know for sure before I just slap a new one in there and end up in the same spot. Thanks
