Topic: M-unit turn signal issue.

[Gizmo]

Hey guys. I am in the process of wiring a new harness for my bike with an M-unit and M button. The issue i am having is that when i select a left turn everything works fine, but when i slide the switch to the neutral position the lights continue to blink. If i move the switch for a right turn, the lights come on, but as with the left side will not stop when i move the switch to the neutral position. The only way i can cancel the lights is to momentarily switch the turn signal switch to the affected side and then off again quickly.

Am i missing something obvious? or is this something i need to program in the config settings? ( i know the m-unit has an auto off function that should cancel the turn lights after a set period of time, perhaps this is where my problem lies?)

Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me!!

Does the M unit require the use of momentary switches?  Sounds like that could be your problem.  Most metric switches are N.O./N.C. center off style.  If the M unit requires momentary switches it will see a metric switch as constantly applying a single, instead of a single pulse.  Just a thought.

M unit does in fact use momentary.

I had this issue also when I was wiring in my handlebar controls on my cb400f. The way I fixed this was to go into the m unit settings and change the handlebar control section.

If you've never owned one you'll never understand

7.6 Handle Bar Controls
Three different types of handle bar controls are compatible with m-Unit. The particular type which
will be used with m-unit must set in the setup menu.
Configuration A) – Push Button Controls
- turn lights left - push button
- turn lights right - push button
- low beam / high beam - push button
- start - push button
- horn - push button
Configuration B) – Harley Davidson and BMW controls
- turn lights left - push button
- turn light right - push button
- low beam / high beam - switch
- start - push button
- horn - push button
Configuration C) – most Japanese and European motorcycles
- turn lights left / right - 3 way switch
- low beam / high beam - switch
- start - push button
- horn - push button
configuration D) – new Ducati models
- turn lights left / right - 3 way switch
- low beam / high beam - push button
- start - push button
- horn - push button
In case of using the OEM handle bar controls together with m-Unit; head light flashing push button
is not applicable. There is also no possibility to switch the parking light by the m-Unit.

Worked like a charm! it took awhile to get the timing right to access the programming menu but once i was in everything went according to plan. Thanks for the assistance!
