Turn Signal not blinking...

#1 Unread post by Aggroton »

it did this while i was tryin to figure how to wire the signals on. the back will go on but not blink. it does not blink on the controls either. i checked the connections and they are solid. could the bulb just be dead?
thats a sweet bike.

lites not blinking

Make sure that both the front and the rear lites are burning on the brightest filament. And that you have a good ground. The rear lite only works for a signal, in most cases the front has two filaments one for running lite the other for turn signal. The brightest are for turning signals. Good luck.

Sounds like your flasher rely has packed it in. It allows power through, but doesn't cut it out to create the flashing.
No Witnesses.... :shifty:

Sounds like a simple bulb replacement.
