    What would cause the blinker indicators to go out but not be a blown bulb?

    Is it a grounding issue?
    I have to take off the wiring harness and clean everything as per the MR Matchless tutorial.

    Damn I just checked I have no headlight
    have signal lights and tail brake light

    I see in the wiring diagram that the headlamp and blinker indicators are connected.

    Noticed the headlamp cos I just put the bike away and its dark
    glad I want out for a long drive.

    Yah, I have noticed that on the schematics, that a circuit from the headlight fuse goes to the indicator switch but most of the indicator circuitry is powered by the signal fuse. ANd I have wondered about that. But your statement then makes me think that ...ah.. if loose headlight power that then have some indication of a problem in that the turnsignals do not work.

      I just read a thread on OEM vs. Direct battery connection of a series reg\rect.
      I think I ruined something. Oh well time shall tell its raining and dark here now so no soldering or testing for me.
