Brendon Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 it seemed to work then it would hesitate then stay on
Moderator Airhead Posted April 12, 2012 Moderator Posted April 12, 2012 try again, I am encouraged by "it seemed to work" make sure you have a good connection to each end and strong cable...press them down good at each end is the speedo dash light still in cct?
Brendon Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 its weird... If i put the relay at the angle it sits on the frame it seems to work better
Brendon Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 It worked...then it started to go slower and slower so I started the bike and both sides seamed to work good
Moderator Airhead Posted April 12, 2012 Moderator Posted April 12, 2012 sounds good but!! brendon you need to be totally descriptive in your replys...i cannot see what youre doing! jumper...no jumper...dash light ...no dash light...what?
Brendon Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 Hahahaha, Im sorry I'm very new to forums, I did the jumper like you said, running the jumper from the positive side of the battery to the brown wire on the relay and the turn signal worked, it worked better when I started the bike. What does this mean seeing that I had to use a jumper to get it to work?
Moderator Airhead Posted April 12, 2012 Moderator Posted April 12, 2012 so if it works repeatedly with the jumper and not without it...this means the current flow from the battery... through the fuse and any connectors along the way...through the ignition switch to the flash relay has met some resistance due to dirty or corroded contacts! you need to check all connectors and fuse connection are clean, if you cannot get it to work after doing this then it maybe the contacts in the ignition switch that are dirty...this is an area i am unfamiliar with, i dont know if they can be inspected and cleaned or whether a new ignition switch would be necessary, that one is for you to decide but do the stuff you can do...its late now in uk so i'll check up on you again tomorrow
Brendon Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 Im still having trouble with these turn signals... 6v 17w system, I made sure all connections were cleaned and wired correctly, all 4 turn signals are connected and I reconnected the turn signal indicator light also. The turn signal lights come on but do not flash still.
Moderator Airhead Posted May 2, 2012 Moderator Posted May 2, 2012 so then...it is working with the jumper and not without it...is this correct
Moderator Airhead Posted May 3, 2012 Moderator Posted May 3, 2012 then i am guessing you need a new ignition switch unless you can somehow clean the contacts...because the jumpering excercise just bypassed the switch and the associated wiring,you have stated the associated wiring and plugs are clean you could take an ohms reading of it all, take out the fuse and measure between the fuse holder clip (loom side) and the brown connector on the relay, it should be a very low reading 0.5 ohms at a guess
