Indicators or rather lack of.
« on: September 05, 2019, 04:18:19 PM »
All indicators stopped working, so consulted Haynes and forums which suggested flasher relay as root cause. So ordered new one from DS and went to fit today, ok it a two pin rather than three so once again checked our forum, left the green disconnected, B to black and L to light grey. Turned on ignition and hey presto nothing. Checked 7A fuse, opened switch gear. There had been a problem there in the past as PO had put a new one in, all nice and clean.

So after a bit of head scratching I put the old unit in for the hell of it. When you turn on the ignition you can hear it click and again when you turn the ignition off but no indicators. So any ideas at what to look at?

Cheers, Greg

Thanks Bryan,

Lesson number 1, don’t work on bike after night shifts.
Lesson number 2, light grey is not the same as light blue. Ok I could plead dirty wires and old eye sight but I don’t think it would wash.

Thanks,
Greg
