Indicator fault

(1/3) > >>

Hi

Now got the carbs fitted (thanks for the help) I have fitted the airbox and the battery. I have tried turning the electrics on for the first time, all seems ok except the indicators. Moving the switch to either left or right just gives me a loud screeching noise, the bulbs don't light and I can't hear the relay at all.

Anyone ever seen this, I haven't had a chance to fault find on it yet but I guess either the relay is shot or there is a short?

Bryanj:
The screech could be the relay if there is a short or could be the audible device depending on what bike

Hi
The bike is a CB550k3 which was imported from the US. So it was built to their standards, on the circuit diagram in the haynes manual it does show a turn signal buzzer, but I haven't actually seen it (not that i've looked) on the bike.

May not be related, but it's good practice to run a separate earth cable to each of the indicators. Sounds like the flasher relay has gone, and take the opportunity to remove the awful buzzer.

mike the bike:
Agree 100% with the above advice.
