K75.....no lights,horn or indicators

[keith g]

so........i've got this fault.......i changed the fuses and everything came back to life,turned the ignition on again i got nothing except the stop light,engine starts and runs like normal,also what should the alternator output be?........i'm making about 14.2v is that right for this bike?
cheers guys......any ideas appreciated

...any ideas appreciated

How about listing everything you've done that brought you to this point since your "won't start" thread so members won't be telling you to do things you've already done?

Alternator output seems good at idle. What is the output of the battery when the bike's off.

i got nothing except the stop light

What is that?

[keith g]

rear brake light..........labeled stop light in the Haynes Manual

[keith g]

it's an '85 original K75c.........and the old girls getting tired..........not had a prob with the engine starting,just this fault with the lights and horn,the only thing that's working is the rearbrake light......battery is good.......6 months old,checked the cells,the levels are good......13.4v with the engine off

[keith g]

ok.......thrown me a curve..............when i turn the key to first position.......all my lights come on,even with the switch off?? but  the indicators still don't work,when i turn the key to the start position,all the lights go out????..........what's going on........i've done nothing to the old girl except charge the battery!!!

Congratulations on a successful outcome.

greetings keith g...

there is no autocorrecting  spell checking here at motobrick.com...

now go do this...

every post must include your moto year... your moto model... and your location...

if you wanna put this info in your profile or signature or profile so you donts have to bang it out all the time... then go right ahead...

when you do the minimum your post will stand on its merits... if you choose to not do the minimum... mystic red will have your post locked and pinned up on the wall of shame... and you will  be sanctioned for a time... plenty enough time to figger out how to getts your year model location in your next post...

i hate to disagree,but it does spellcheck/auto correct..............when i typed  charley hotel echo echo romeo sierra.........it came out queers...!!!!

[keith g]

had enough.......took the starter out,the brushes were bottomed out on the springs so barely touching the commutator.....rebuilt with new kit,alternator next,new brushes and voltage regulator new cush drive as this one was like jello.......then.........hopefully,the old girl will be good to go
