i did start the bike and it still did the same thing

 

Yeah, If the bike was started and it still didnt work, you have some kind of resistor problem or short.

 

From pic AI can see that your resistors are hooked up totally wrong. As I said before, they have to be hooked up in parallel, NOT in series whichyou have done (and even in series they're hooked up wrong). It looks like you've crossed wires between the left & right turn signals, using the resistor as a bridge!!?? Gonna need some more pics to determine what else you might have wrong. Your stock turns have three wires, aftermarkets have two. Make sure you're connecting the right ones together and leaving the running/ground wire unconnected (and taped off) Youalso needto tape up your connections so that you don't get any wires crossed or shorted out when you put everything back together. Remember when you ride there's gonna be vibrations. Also check your fuses so that none are blown.

BTW, the lights should work the same whether the bike is started or not. Having the bike running should have no affect on how the lights/turn signals/brake etc. work.

 

well, i got it to blink, had to fix my flush mount, but now i cant get it to keep blinking. the only way i can get it to blink is if i touch the negitive wire to the resistor and take it off right away and then it will blink but if i touch it and hold it to the resistor it wont do anything. if its blinking and i turn off the switch and turn the signal back on, it will work like 2 or 3 time and the it will just stay on and not flash, also how do i set up the parralle wiring? is there a "how to" anywhere. or any pics showing the wires.
