Just had dealer install Backoff XP. Unit only flashes. Will not finish the cycle with the constant on. Tried both modes. The repeat and one time only cycle. Will flash only with no constant on in either mode. Called the manufacturer. Seems the GL1800 draws 11 amps with all brake lights. XP unit has a built in failsafe cut off switch at 10 amps. It would be hardware upgrade to fix the unit. Then Why sell to Goldwing owners? The original Back Off will work up to 15 amps but has no failsafe. It could get too hot if you run too much amperage through it. They gave me 2 options. 1. Upgrade to LED taillights. They do not pull as many amps and the unit will cycle as it should. 2. Run to the upper brake lights only. The bottom lights will light up when brake applied but only the top/trunk lights will run through the flash/constant on cycle using the once only mode or the repeat mode. Should still be sufficient to be seen. The unit needs to be mounted in the trunk for this. My option 3 was to just take it back for a refund. Still thinking on that. |
