indicators don't work!!
 

went out for a ride recently and people were calling me a ****** alot more than usual and then i noticed my indicators had stopped working, also the hazzard lights have stopped too, i have tried putting a new relay on but they still dont work...PLEASE HELP !!

Check all bulbs and fuses most are linked together. Does your horn and highbeam work? If not may be a dodgy connection from your switchgear, i had same problem chased the wires back under the left hand side of the fuel tank and had a loose connection block thingy.

Sent by me.. Off me..

everything else works fine, horn, head lamp, dash... just the indicators, i cant see all four of them going at the same time :P

Check wiring pal. Mine started with just the indicators then everything else went that was connected to the left hand side of the bike. This is just my experience i dont meen to send you in the wrong direction.

Sent by me.. Off me..

i'll do that then , ive checked everything else so you wont be sending me in the wrong direction im sure. cheers matee.

Recently bought my xtr with a warranty.
It had a problem with the indicators on the test run but was �fixed� by the time I picked it up.
The fault re-occurred quickly.
Took it back to book it in for a repair (and a wheel bearing) booked it in for the next week but had a chat with the techy.
We had a quick look and found the hazards and the N/S worked fine when the ignition was first switched on but they all stopped s soon as the O/S was switched.
I was told it was a fail-safe system in the electronics probably caused by a poor/loose connection.
I had a poke around at home, cleaned and re tightened all the connections to the lamp holders and found everything working.
BUT I was not convinced it was connections. I took out a rear bulb to simulate a fault.
Everything worked as expected with the front flashing faster.
I then tried pulling off a connection. Still worked the same without engaging the �fail-safe�.
I came to the conclusion it must either be a short circuit somewhere in the loom or a faulty flasher unit.
However it hasn�t happened again.
When I took it back for the bearing doing I told them not to waste our time by searching for an intermittent fault till it happened again. So far after a few hundred miles (a bit cold and snowy to do much more lately) it sill hasn�t reoccurred.

In short
Clean and tighten (close up) the connectors behind the bulb holders.
Waddle the wires.
Kick the tyres
And squirt it with WD40

Worked for me :happy4:

haha, will do, sounds like i didnt have to bother getting a new relay unit -.-
