Indicators stopped working

[andre5030]

My indicators have just stopped working on me there, the relay clicks when i move the switch (maybe a wee bit quick) but no lights at all.
Does that mean need a new relay?

[benny hedges]

check the bulbs first... but yes, sounds like the relay is goosed, or maybe a connector loose?

[andre5030]

I changed a blown bulb last week wonder did that have anything to do with it?
Ill have a look at the connections later but guess new relays the one. Not possible to use a non honda one of a mates bike to test it by any chance?

I put a two pin 12v one on my bike to get me by then one of the kind guys on here sent me one, i just used spade connectors to fix it on,

Just a point and probably not worth mentioning
But when you changed the bulb the other day it was of the same wattage wasn’t it??
If you put a different wattage bulb in that can stop your indicators flashing

[andre5030]

Yeah im pretty sure it was the same wattage tho im not the kind of person who would worry about a watt here or there Lol
Ive ordered a used relay there from fleabay got it for a tenner so not so bad save me a few well needed pennies on a new one!
Few cans for me tonite now at least! lol

Blown bulb and flashing faster than normal?
Checked the reg/rec output voltage?

Check the wires, I've had the same problem with the rear indies, The front ones work but flash really fast. A fiddle with the wireing at the back under the seat sorted it out for a while but every now and then the natural vibrations of the bike has meant more fiddling and twisting with the wiring at the back indies. Last attempt hasnt fixed it so I've bought new ones to fit and hopefully that will sort the nonesense out.

hi, i had the same problem, just needed the switch cleaning out and all was fixed. wish i'd tried this first as wasted lots of time trying to find fault. hope this helps

[andre5030]

Tried a new flasher relay and fiddled with the wires no joy ive a strange feeling it is the switch alright gonna have another lookey later this evening.

[pinkyfloyd]

I got mine fixed and feeling all proud of myself. Fitted new ones and they work fine.

Good luck getting yours sorted.

New ones of what?

[pinkyfloyd]

Just fitted new indicators. The ones I had on were after market ones and they were as rusted as hell on the inside. So rather than just try and rewire them I bought a new set of rear indicators and fitted them. Plug and play jobbies. Cheap and nasty but they flash and they are bright.



Thats the very ones.


Hopefully Cager will see me now since I flash on both sides!

[andre5030]

Very Nice!
Turned out to be my switch after all i just unscrewed the top sprayed some WD40 in it gave it a wiggle and away they went! Oh and the relay i got from ebay doesnt work.

[Darknomad]

mine went a couple weeks back as recomended i got a small can of wd40 with the straw and doused the switch then everything else switchy or furry till the can ran out lol
including around the ignition lol
they worked a treat afer a few mins twiddling
