"Signal" fuse blowing - 82gs1100gl

WTF? Some kind of weird gay porn?

I was chastised by a member here for not having a signature. So I got one.

Sorry to bump this, but I have been fighting the same thing. Kept thinking it was something else because the horn was new. Had most of the wiring loom disconnected. Read this thread. Disconnected the horn, and low and behold that solved it.




YES!!!!! Now if it would get above freezing.

congrats on finding the old link (I assume using search) and fixing the problem.

Also, congrats on using the search feature, and congrates for solving this.

This is often a difficult one to troubleshoot, becuase someone might say "it blows fuse as soon as turn on the ignition switch not when I push the horn button, so it cant be the horn that is blowing the fuse."

Well, yes it can (in stock configuration), because the power from the fuse goes to the horn, thru the horn and to the horn button (as I described in my posting above back in April) . . . . .
So if the horn has a problem such that the horn shorts to ground . . . . .

Yeah, I am pretty sure EVERYTHING has been covered here at some point. Just goes to show there is never a dumb question...it just may benefit someone much later (not that this was a dumb question).

I kept glossing over the horn because the problem progressively got worse, so my thoughts kept going back to chaffed wires, or something of that sort. I even ordered a new RR, thinking that could be it, from reading lots of other old threads.

I hate wiring issues the most. I love the rest. So happy it is sorted.
