| Description of the problem | Motorcycle electronic speedometer and tachometer lost power (needles to zero). Found that brake lights, turn signals, and emergency flasher lights were also a nonfunctional, leaving me unable to render any of the standard warnings of stops, turns or trouble.*ak hd mechanics believe that the failure was the speedometer and say that the failure impacts the lights as the turn signals' auto shutoff is integrated with the speedometer. I think that this design is faulty do to the lack of redundency or separateness in the circuit which allows a single failure to wipe out all safety and legally required lights hd is replacing speedometer in hopes of remediating electrical failures. |
