Tpex Rath Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Hi All, again electrical problems, bane of my life... My YBR125 '09 stood outside for about 6 days, exposed to the elements, and now all the indicators have stopped working. None of the bulbs are blown, and I checked each connection, it's putting out 0.03 volts to each light. I'm sure the relay used to give a slight ticking when a indicator was on, but now it will give a slight tick when the indicator is selected, and the amperage goes from 0 to 1 Do I need to replace my relay? can I break the seal and fix it myself? Thanks in advance
slice Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Have you got an old battery? It's just that if your battery is shit then you will not get enough power to run the lights, or it might just be a blown indicator relay, check your wiring as well to see if you have any rusty joints. What amperage does your bike put out when it's running (to the battery)?

What amperage does your bike put out when it's running (to the battery)? Battery has been pretty much dead for a while, but they it worked fine while the bike was running, and all tests were of course done while it was running. The wiring is fine till I get to the sealed up main areas where they all collect and do to the various little boxes. I'll check the amperage tomorrow.
Tpex Rath Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 weird, the Amperage also shows as one on the battery from 200u right down to 200m
slice Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 That's not right is it, should be more than that something like 14.8 volts showing unless it's a 6 volt bike, you should check your regulator to see if that is the cause of the problem either you get to much voltage or to little ie none at all. If your not sure what to do then might I suggest that you take it to your local bike shop and get them to have a look for you then they can tell you straight away what the problem is and how to fix it, just had a thought, if your putting out to much voltage then that would have cooked your indicator relay, it would also make your wiring get hot and can cause all your lights to blow before it sets fire to the bike. Get it checked out asap cos you DO NOT want to have that happen.
Tpex Rath Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Okay turns out yours truly is a right royal dumbass, had the multimeter's leads plugs into the wrong jacks, wile testing again the indicators started working... 1
slice Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Ha Ha Ha !!! Been there done that your not alone in that place called dumbarseville.
