Clear Alternatives Tail in Conjunction with Rizoma Avio Front Signals

[dobs]

I have searched a few threads and have not been able to find my answer. I apologize for beating a dead horse, but I can't figure this out.

I installed Rizoma Avio's a month ago with absolutely no issues. I left the resistors off and the blink rate was normal. Yesterday my Clear Alternatives integrated tail light finally showed up (after a 4 month back order. ugh!). After installation all blinkers started working improperly. I would hit the left or right blinker and it would start out fine, but after a few seconds it would go from a normal blink to a rapid blink. The second problem was that the front Rizomas would also blink at the same time. For example I would hit the left blinker and the left blinker would activate bright, but the right would also come on very dimly.

I decided to install the Rizoma resistors and that solved the second dual blinker problem.

My issue is that, even with resistors hooked up front and back, the blink rate starts out slow but goes rapid after a few seconds.

I am using the Rizoma resistors in front and the CA in back.

What do I need to do to stop this blink rate problem? It seems very weird that it starts out normal and then changes...........

Try unplugging the Rizoma resistor and try; if nothing happens, try the other way around, onle the CA one plugged in, recommend to do it with a battery charger plugged for testing if you don't want the battery to die. If this solves issue, then, you are good to go; if not, try getting 'unnamed' resistors with same impendance[resistance] and plug them in, maybe the differences in the resistors you're using is causing this issue.
Just a though, still waiting for my turn signals. Cheap ones.

I am not sure that is the issue. I will try it again though.

I have extra set of the Rizoma Resistors that I hooked up in back and it still did the same thing.

I am wondering if the method of wiring the rear resistors is the problem? The Rizoma resistors wire in both the red and black wires. In the rear, the CA only has the red accessible. The black runs into the brake light and is a common black shared by the brake and turns.

Is it normal on the rear to only put a resistor on the red?

On a side note, I did unplug the Rizoma fronts all together and ran just the CA. It still did the same thing, blinked normal for a few seconds and then sped up to a rapid blink.

Try plug in the rear Rizoma's for the turn signals and the CA for tail only using both wires black and red...If still no go...you might need a relay...Just trying ot help, using my tech skills as auto tech to help... Plus if I'm not mistaken, you're not to connect the running light to the resistor. Are you running Rizoma's and CA integrated rear at the same time? If yes, this is your issue, you'll have to choose, Rizoma or CA turn signal...

I've only installed front LED turn signals, and don't have this issue. Was told if I install second set, will need resistors and since I have CA clear lens taillight, no LED for me there...
