I have a problem with my 1995 Sportster XL 1200. The lights go on but the signals, and horn do not work and when I step on the brake the brake light doesn’t light up. Also when key is turned on the lights are on but a clicking sound clicks every 4 seconds. We replaced the turn signal control module.

The clicking sound is coming from a breaker. You have a dead short to ground. You need to look for the breaker that is tripping. Then, find the corresponding wire that is grounding out.

I have a 2009 HD Sportster XL1200C Custom. I have no brake lights when applying front brake nor rear brake. Checked the switches with a testor and have continuity. Fuses have been checked and are fine.front and rear signals fully operational. Headlight is operating. Just no "parking lights" nor brake lights. Bulb appears to be ok but I have not attempted to insert a replacement. What's left? Help

Check your ignition switch.
I got a 98fatboy while riding the speedo and the lights go out
I have an 06 XLR 1200. When ever I hit the starter switch, I can hear the solenoid kicking in, and there is always a pause, as if battery went dead, then it would start. My previous Sporty was the same, and I have heard others that also do it. Is this normal for Sporties, or is there something going wrong?
Turn signals stay on, they don't blink how can I fix it?
