Turn signals don't work in rain
 

Hi
I recently took my tenere for a ride in rain for the first time and I discovered that the turn signals don't work in rain. They stay on, without flashing. Anyone who knows what this come from?



I have never had this problem in dry weather

The signals are aftermarked LED.

Hmmm. I'm no expert but I'd say the aftermarket lights are the problem, doesn't sound as they are as water proof as they could be. If you still have the originals stick those back on & see if they do the same thing. Rain can always be simulated with a hose pipe.

Overly high resistance can cause indicators to stay on and not flash (the opposite of fast flashing because of low resistance LEDs being fitted without ballasts). Commonly it is caused by folk fitting bulbs of a higher wattage than recommended, but this is clearly not your problem. Fitting ballast resistors of too high a resistance with LED indicators could also feasibly cause this issue, but as you say it only does it in the wet, it can't be this either.

So I would hazard a guess that you have a poor connection somewhere, either positive or earth (more likely an earth) and, as both sides are affected, I would point an accusing finger at the relay's block connector, or possibly the handlebar switch itself. Any poor connection will, as you'd expect, be made worse by rain/damp.

Check all of the above and see what you turn up...
