              I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                  Well, the fuses are Head light, Signal, Ignition and Main (in that order) and I don’t know if an L has a 5th one but if it does that is for the aux power terminal on bottom of fuse block.

                  the items you mention sound like the signal fuse. The orange/green circuit. Check that circuit comming out of the fuse block. Check it with a volt meter.

                      Yes, be sure to check it with a volt meter or a test light.

                      It is possible for a glass fuse to fail behind the metal cap, where you can't see it.

                          Thank you everyone for all the help. The problem was the orange/green wire coming out top of fuse block - Was a bad connection after 36 years Thank you all again ----- Ron

                              Hey, Ron. Good to hear of your success, and good that you found the source of the problem and was able to resolve the problem. Sometime such a problem is internal to the fuse block and is no good resolution.
