The main reason flashers units dont work is the bulbs dont draw enough amps (did u reace with a lower watt bulb or leds???) the test is fairly simple, hook up a large light (i used a sealed beam headlight) into the circuit... If this makes it flash u need to get a digital flasher unit (spicifily for led turnsignals)... -----Original Message----- Date: Sunday, June 13, 2010 9:24:11 am To: "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" <[email protected]> From: "Graham Rogers" <[email protected]> Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] turn signals not working
Here's one I'm fed up with working on. I have two bikes that have nonworking right turn signals. They both do the same thing. So I'll describe one. (The other is a kz1000). It's a 1982/83 Suzuki GS1100L. I replaced the turn signals with new after markets. The front originls were running lights with three wires, the replacements are just two wire. So with the signals hooked up - and I'm sure I have the wires connected correctly on the front ones, leaving the running lights wires open (unconnected). The turn signals stay on when activated. The left ones turn on when I push the switch to the left, and same for the right. I have changed the flasher unit and the relay unit - no difference. A new battery and correct charging voltage makes no difference. It seems to me there's not enough voltage getting to the flasher unit to make it work. One wire out of the flasher unit reads over 12 v, the other - way under (it's a three prong unit). I have checked all grounds, added one, no difference. Any suggestions?
