Parked outside for a week, no lights or signals?

[Guest]

In a nutshell. I left my 79 850 outside for a week, now it runs, but no lights or turn signals, although the fuses are good and active. Any ideas?

Did it get rained on? If yes, park it in sun to dry off the left hand switch

yes, likely as Tom says...Turn signals and headlight use the same fuse- so your trouble is on the same circuit(orange/red stripe) and sounds to be connection failure " on-the- way-to" or "in" the handlebar switches.

and have a looksee inside the turn signal lenses while you're at it. Their gaskets are often not the greatest.
