All 4 turn signals stopped working.
« on: July 09, 2012, 08:05:26 PM »
Hello, everyone.  I purchased a K75s on Craigslist and took it in to a mechanic to have all of the base line mechanicals done.  I have had it a week now and I am in love with it.  However, last night all 4 turn signals quit, and I noticed when I push the signal buttons, my clock goes dim...
 
I know, spooky. When I cancel the turn signals, the clock comes back on.  I have not found any fuse issues, and I have no idea where else to look. 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Chad

Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.

I would guess bad connection at fuse #3, check voltage drop at fuse when turning on flasher.

Rechecked all fuses, no luck.  Went to Autozone and bought all new replacements.

Works great now.  Put the old fuse back in, and that one worked also.  I will play with the connections this weekend.

Thanks!

I had a similar problem. Blew the horn/fan fuse with my fan and stebel running at the same time. Then my turn signals started acting wonky. Replaced the fuse, good to go.

The flasher relay has two fused power supplies. Fuse 3 which is unswitched. (To run the hazards with the bike turned off.) Fuse 7(switched) for the turn signals.
