Title: So I dumped my bike and now signals won't blink
Post by: PMac on June 22, 2007, 10:35:45 AM
K so the other day I dumped my '06F. Today I reinstalled the left turn signal. But now the signals won't blink they just come on. I read the other threads and they didn't help. I pulled the 20amp fuse, yet it changes nothing - the lights come on, the flashers come on but won't blink. What's wrong?? They worked earlier today...even when I only had the right blinker functioning. Now they won't blink. Help me.

if you pulled the fuse and the lights still work... you didn't pull the fuse. You pulled the spare, the real fuse is under the green/red cover.

Other than that, I can't be of much help, sorry.

Check the bulb in your new light?

Yea, I would replace the bulbs, one is prob. bad. Also check the realy near the fuse holder, unplug and re-seat it  :thumb:

If they are all coming on it can only be the relay, they are fragile and dont like crashes. Find it under the RH (IIRC) side cover. Pull off and short together the orange and light-blue wires. Then flick the indicator switch from left to right and check the coresponding bulbs light up on each side back and front. If they do......the relay is shot!

It was the relay. Replaced it today and blinkers are working fine now. Thanks for all the input guys!
