Title: turn signal issue
Post by: ls 64086 on May 27, 2008, 08:33:06 AM
I have searched the threads and can't come up with anyone having my issue that has filament lights/LED lights. If I turn on my left signal, everything works, the indicator, front left filament light and rear left LED signal. Turn on right signal however and I get no indicator light but all four signals flash like hazard lights. I swapped the huge rear signals on my 04 GS500f for the LEDs over a month ago and just started having this issue a day or so ago.

BTW. I love this site. I've got so much info here it is rediculous!!! Had my bike for maybe a month (my first bike) and so far have rejetted, added K&N lunchbox, hacked my mud flap, swapped lights, oil change.... simply said, I'm lovin the site and the info you guys share. I'll contribute as soon as i find a place to do so.

thanks in advance for any help on my lighting issue.

ride safe

cheers

upon closer inspection, my front left bulb is out. could this be the cause?

fix that obviously...then if its still doing it you have crossed wires somwhere.  take off your seat and track them from the back forwards  inspect to make shure that they arnt pinched or exposed in any way...

There is a large FAQ on turn signals with and without LEDs.

CLICK HERE (http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=24294.0) for the multipart story.

My simplified turns signal schematic is in there...somewhere.  ;)

thanks, i found the problem just now. i had forgot that while riding over the weekend my water bottle fell out of my cup holder and slid down the left side of the fairing. it disconnected both wires to my turn signal... sorry i didn't investigate before posting!!! thanks for the help though!
