Turn Signals no worky....
 
:wtf: They worked this morning coming into work. I went out and lunch on a ride and now they don't work anymore. Neither the front, rears, or dash indicators work. The switch feels like its working though. :idk: Any ideas?

dReWpY 05-29-2008 12:20 PM

did you check the fuses

Rider 05-29-2008 12:21 PM

Not yet, just found out about it and I'm at work.

dReWpY 05-29-2008 12:23 PM

thats were my money is at, easy fix too, just need to find out what caused it to trip

Rider 05-29-2008 12:30 PM

I'll walk out and check the fuse now.

Trip 05-29-2008 12:33 PM

yeah if both sides are out, a fuse would be my guess. If one side was working I would check wiring/bulbs on the side that wasnt.

Rider 05-29-2008 12:40 PM

Fuse is good.

:panic: Honda doesn't make a 750 cc machine.



And its not the switch because the hazards don't work either. Does a bike have a flasher unit like cars do?

Some do, some don't, not sure about yours. If nothing works, check that a connector didn't come undone along the wiring harness somewhere, especially follow it from the handlebar switch.

Do you have a service manual?

Yeah I do.

Look at the electrical section and the wiring diagrams, follow the turn signal circuit and look for all the plug connections. IF it isn't anything obviously disconnected, you are going to need a voltmeter or test light to see where you have power in that circuit and where you don't. Follow it along, find power here, power there, uh oh no powere here, you know the problem is between the point you are and the last point you had power at.

Yep I have a volt meter. I'll figure it out. Might be a moot point though... New bike may be in the garage by the weekend. Not going to say what it is yet, but my current bike might be going bye bye.

Thats my guess too by the "Honda doesnt make a 750 cc" comment.

No Worries 05-29-2008 09:39 PM

Honda's VFR 750 was Cycle World's best street 750 for at least a decade. Power right off idle, fine gear whine from the gear-driven cams, and a centerstand. Why get anything else?

Oh, for the turnsignals, if the fuse is good and the wire connections are good, the turn signal relay is probably at fault. There's usually no voltmeter resistance test for the relay.

First thought was flasher.

Rider 05-30-2008 08:05 AM

Update. Its not the flasher or the switch. When I turn the hazards on, the flasher come on for a 10th of a second then stop working. If I turn them off wait a few minutes and turn on the signals they work normally until i try to turn the flasher on again. It has something to do with the flashers coming on. As long as I don't use the hazards, the tun signals work normally. I must have accidentally hit the hazard button yesterday and thats why the turn signals were not working. Very weird problem. :idk:

Mr Lefty 05-30-2008 08:10 AM

check the wiring for the hazard switch... the switch it self even... could be a short. :idk:

Your bike has hazard lights? Is this some newfangled wizardry?
