Brett92 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 right, i have a yamaha sr125 (82) and i cant seem to get the indicators working right whatsoever.. it uses a 2 pin indicator but i assume its screwed, the rear indicators will light up and not flash, but the fronts wont light up at all.. ive taken apart my relay to have a nose and they seem pretty basic so i cant see how this could break? i used a pair of pliers to make the 2 connections touch and the rears would light up, i let go.. and they go off, seems normal to me but they dont flash on their own and i still dont have front indicators? any help appreciated, this is driving me nuts!

Ttaskmaster Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 How much is a replacement relay? Couple of quid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett92 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 about a fiver for a relay but means having to wait for delivery, the indicators are just plugged into the loom, same as the relay, not sure where they go as of yet.. thats as far as i know, im quite well electrically and mechanically minded so if u have any suggestions, feel free to throw them at me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirriePete Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 As it's both of the fronts that are not playing, my first reaction would be to check the common earth connection, check in the headlamp shell where both indicators should have a wire going into one connector. Simplest check is to run a spare bit of wire direct from there to battery -ve, bypassing any dodgy earth mounts - if that works you just need to trace from the connector to it's earth mounting point, or just run a wire past it to a fresh earth point.

Brett92 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 the front indicators were definately down to the bad earth, i used a wire directly from the earth off the indicators to the battery, thanks kirriepete as for the flashing, still no luck.. i have to operate the relay manually (ive got the shell off) so im guessing itll just be a new relay?
