Turn Signal Issue

[jgentry425]

Hello guys,

I have a 1983 GS1100GLD that I just bought. It had the Vetter Windjammer V fairing on it (with front blinkers attached), and everything worked, except for if I rode around for a while, the right blinker would not blink, it would just stay on, but the left blinker would work fine.

I took off the fairing, wired up the original front blinkers, and now the left blinkers stay solid (with 1 click of the relay), and the right blinkers do not come on and the relay buzzes.

I connected the left front left blinker black to the black wire in the headlight, the front right black to light aqua, and both greys to black with white stripe (ground). I did not wire anything to the grey wire (turn signal indicator) since the turn signal indicator is connected to the rear blinkers (and that works fine).

I've cleaned the connections with electrical cleaner, and checked the connections, and everything seems fine.

Any ideas?

Try this:

Left light's black wire to the black wire in the harness.
Gray wire to a BROWN wire in the headlight bucket.
Black/white wire (attached to a ring terminal on the turn signal mount) goes to black/white wires in the headlight bucket.

Right light's black wire to light green (not aqua) wire in the harness.
Gray wire to a BROWN wire in the headlight bucket.
Black/white wire (attached to a ring terminal on the turn signal mount) goes to black/white wires in the headlight bucket.

Right blinkers do not come on and the relay buzzes indicates to me a short.

The gray wires appear to be for the running lights. The black to black on the left is correct and the Lg (light green?) should connect to the black wire of the right signal. B/W (black with a white tracer is the ground connection.

and both greys to black with white stripe (ground)

Incorrect....
