    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

blinkers don't work

8) We found a new set of blinkers to go on the front of the bike because my grandpa had a big ugly fairing and the blinkers were built into it. anyway we put them on and they don't work. We are gettin power up to the switch but no farther as far as we can tell. we think it may be the switch. Anybody ever have this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.[/code]
 
Did the blinkers work when you had the fairing on?If so,when you use the right or left turn signal does your signal indicator light up on your panel.If it does try replacing all the bulbs.If you have one bulb out on each side they won't blink.You could also have a grounding, or connection problem.Try using some WD-40(I love this stuff) on the connections behind the headlamp.Also not sure what you ment by found new blinkers.You could get a meter and chek the Blinkers you have. Hope this helps :) .
 
8) The indicator light does not light up but I will check all the bulbs (the front ones are good). All of the connections are clean and tight and the grounds are good. I didn't get to check the blinkers on the fairing because the bike didn't run and the battery was dead when we took all of that stuff off before we started the mechanical work. We had a problem with the tail light and got that cleared up (dirty switch at the front brake handle). Hope this helps more. :twisted:
 
Trial and error. If you're not getting any power fron the switch try spraying some contact cleaner or WD-40 into the switch.If that doesn't work disconnect the turn signal control unit connectors and check for continuity between orange/green and black/blue wires with switch in left position.Then check between orange/green and light green/black wires with switch in right position. you must have continuity when checking wires in those positions and no continuity with switch in center. If not replace the switch :) .You might want to pick up a Clymer for your bike.Good luck
