    that may be a problem, flashers need a load to operate........so what you will be looking for is a steady power.....making sure all the other lights are off. it will be on the same circuit as your brakes........

    You can also make sure the pig tail is still spring loaded & clean if it doesn't pop up that little bit it won't work right or at all

    With electrical there can be a host of conditions that can cause it. Still best to start at one end and work towards the problem. Sometimes it can be something real simple but often over looked.

    I am waiting until I get my new left rear turn signal. I have to replace that and in order to replace that I have to drop the rear suspension then take off my fender and seat. (I broke the left rear turn signal). I think I may have an idea of what is wrong, but just am going to wait until the new signal comes in.

    Re: Blinker Not Blinking.. UPDATE!!!!

    OK, I went to my indy shop on Monday to pick up the blinker that I had him order. Well, when I got there, we discovered that he ordered the wrong one. No big deal. So we started to poke around the light a little to see what exact turn signal I have. Not sure we made much progress on that but we did discover for sure that it is not the bulb that is bad on the signal that is not blinking. I know this because we swapped bulbs and the right one still did not want to blink. One thing eliminated. So now I am pretty sure what it is that is wrong....:D
