    Headlamp taillamp stoplamp idiot lights come on randomly

    At least they appear to come on and off randomly. (83 GS1100E). All three devices operate properly but the idiot lights come on and go off anyway.

    Its the control module right under your fuel tank mounted to the frame. They all seem to go bad. I wonder if his highness of all things electrons could make us a fix ?

      Thank you. Do you think cleaning the connections will help?

          Does it also control the flashers? The left side does not blink.

            Yeah, my headlight indicator occasionally flashes or stays on for a few moments then goes off too. I figure it's just gremlins, I don't want to replace the box just for that.
