    turn signal flasher

    On my 85 GS700es the turn signal flasher went bad. It has 2 terminals on it and I swapped it out with the one from my car and the flashers worked again. The thing I was wondering is the harness connector has 3 terminals with the ground terminal not being used. What is the ground there for if the factory one didn't use it either?

    Hi,

    If your bike had "auto-canceling" turn signals, that wire was from the control unit.


    Thank you for your indulgence,

        Hi,

        I documented my turn signal relay replacement a while back. It might explain a thing or two...

          Was your "ground" wire blue?

          If so, it was definitely the control wire from the flasher controller. The flasher you took out was not from Suzuki.

            Nope it was black with white stripe. Looks stock to me even has a built on tab to mount to the bike.
