How to build a Diode Kit to fix your Motorcycle LED Turn Signals

This is Part 1 of How to fix your LED Turn Signals on your Motorcycle.
Here I build a diode kit to make LED turn signals work correctly after installing them on your motorcycle.
This should fix LED turn signals that are fast blinking or not blinking.
I got 10 "1N4001G Diodes" for under $2 with free shipping (you'll only need 2) .

Thanks for the video. Just a tip from an 80 year old, always put the soldering iron under the wire and touch solder wire on top this will ensure even flow and use much less solder.👴🏻

Thanks for the tip.

Will this let me bring my daytime running and my turn signal into one power wire

[@fernandos6330]

hi, first of all thanks for the video. very helpful information and well explained, wondering if you or someone here could help me, i got these led turn signals with 3 wires one for the running daylight and before installing the diode kit i tried by unplugging the light bulb of the indicator everything worked, day lights and turn signals, but when i installed the diode kit turn signals work but if i try the 3rd wire for running daylight it goes back to same issue,

[@umpquaoutdoors]

You haven't given enough info to diagnose this. The running light wire shouldn't effect the turn indicator circuit. What is the issue you're getting when you plug the running light wire in? What are you plugging the 3rd wire into? Did your bike have running lights before?

i dont know electronics, but upon checking the interweb, people say its ok to replace a diode with a higher specs...i happen to have some UF4007 from broken TVs....i tried them and they worked for my honda magna..i left the turn signal working for about 5 minutes and no overheating....LOL

[@tylerwatt12]

Do you know if this will work with a 1N4007? I already have a bunch of those, and the only difference is reverse voltage rating of 50v vs 1000v

[@umpquaoutdoors]

I don't know alot about electrical components but I would guess it would work. As someone commented below "people say its ok to replace a diode with one of higher specs". I would try it and see what happens.

Nice video. Do you have a video when you install them on your motorcycle? I'm having issues when I set up my 4 led turning signals on Honda xr 190. All lights will blink when I turn the switch right or left

[@umpquaoutdoors]

I don't have a video for installing. You probably already have but if not I would suggest you change your "Flasher Relay" to one like this: www.ebay.com/itm/124280731352?hash=item1cefb576d8:g:58kAAOSwNTpfLE6F (if your bike has 3 terminals those are available too). Then if it still doesn't work, to install the diode you cut the two wires going to your turn signal indicator lights on you instrument cluster. Connect the double side of the diode kit to the two wires going to the light then connect the single wire of the diode to one of the wires going up to the indicator (either one, it doesn't matter). Then connect the remaining wire to a ground. I hope this helps.

Did you ever fix this issue? I'm having the same problem

[@ben54322]

@michaelfloyd9329 I bought a led flasher and it worked. It can modulate how fast or slow the light blinks

[@zingrock]

This should work on the turn signal indicator bulb issue too right?

[@umpquaoutdoors]

Yes. The indicator light is what causes problems after installing LEDs because LEDs only have one direction continuity.

[@joef6858]

How do you know the proper diode size to use?

[@supermoto_problems]

I want to know the same as you.
