Title: Oil neutral etc stopped working
Post by: wayne242 on March 17, 2013, 04:07:44 PM
The low oil light, neutral, turn single blinker indicator and high beam indicator below gauges have stopped working. Everything else on bike works (headlight, lights being tac/speedo, tail light and blinkers).

Any one have idea's on what could cause this?

New bulbs? Strange why they would go out all at the same time.

Yeah, i doubt they all went out at once, the ones behind the speedo and tac still work. I thought maybe lose wire from the rough road i took the other day, but it went out after i took that ride. I think they stopped working Saturday morning on the way to work.

Have you looked at the connection where the dash lights hook to the full wiring harness? You should check the bulbs just in case to eliminate the obvious. Maybe clean the connections and re connect them?

i wiggled the wires to make sure no lose connections etc, I'll have a look at the builds late, just at taking it off to do so.

Wiring. Has to be. There is only one fuse. If it went out, while bike would not run.

Only other thing I would think it could be is maybe a short in the wiring. You could strip all the crap that encompasses the wires that go to each indicator light and make sure everything is all good.

So got the horn in from adidas today and thought should go ahead and mess with the indicator problem since i have fairing off. pulled the tank off and touched the wires under it and the indicators blinked on/off. Closer look and the plug was half way unplugged, lot of headache for a plug but its working now so all good(plus did not know there was a plug under there). The factory must not have had it clicked all the way in or some one had it unplugged be for as the snap works on it if plug is pushed all the way in.

P.S; Adidas that horn works great and is loud as heck :thumb:

Glad you like the horn. That's the older one from 89-00. Louder than the 2004+ horn.
