    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.

Problem with turn signals

Hello all,

I need some advice on where to start my diagnostics.

Problem: Turn signal indicators work intermittently at operating speed (ie >20 mph).

Symptoms:
1) All signals works fine parked with ignition on and engine off
2) At normal operating speed, if i simply click the turn signal switch and release, nothing happens
3) Ive found that, at normal operating speed, if i push and hold the switch in the far left/right position, the turn indicator will work (blink). However, if i release it, it stops.
4) Also, in the situation where i click left/right at operating speed (ie nothing happens), once i slow to a stop, the indicator starts to work.
5) All other electrical works fine. Headlight, brake, running lights, dash, etc. No burnt out bulbs.
6) Battery is brand new and aftermarket serial R/R installed. Both have been tested and are working optimally.

This "feels" like it has something to do with the self cancelling circuit, but i want to get input from the group before i go down a rabbit hole doing diagnostics.

Also, ive got a parts bike that i can swap out parts (ie turn signal relay, etc).

When parked, all of the indicators work fine with bright illumination. Also, the indicators on the dash work fine as well.

Can someone offer a suggestion (or point me to a link) of where to start the diagnostic process?

Many thanks!!

Darrell
