    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.

My turn signals dont work on my bike i installed a newer switch on the handle bars,i took the switch all aprt and cleaned all the contacts when i turn the bike on and hit the turn signals on i hear the lil relay click but the signals dont do anything and the light on the dash dont light up.

I checked the fuse at the box and its working fine

:confused: :confused:
 
After you turn on the ignition, and hear the click, do any of the bulbs light up?

There is an electrical load required to make the flasher work.

Your first check should be to see if all the bulbs are the correct ones, that all the bulbs themselves are good, and that the connections to them are good. LED bulbs use less electricity, and will not provide the required load.

You can check the wiring to each of the lamps with a meter or circuit tester, after removing the bulb.

If, after turning on the signal switch, you see one lamp light up, then the other bulb on the same side is probably defective, or has a poor connection.

If both bulbs light up, but do not flash, then the flasher unit is defective or you have the wrong flasher.

If all of the above has checked out, and nothing lights up, it is still likely the flasher unit.



Electronic flashers are better than the stock type, as they will trigger a flash with only one bulb, and that includes using LED bulbs, but you may have some work to find a seller that can tell you which one to buy.
 
I can get them to light up now but the flasher dosent click but one time thats it,the turn signals i got arent led lights just standard bulbs i guess i need a new flasher relay.
 
Installed the relay today and the signals work pefect thanks for the link Tom MLC :lol:
