Gotama Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 So today I noticed that I no longer had my turn signals while I was commuting to work along with no horn or hazard lights . while at work I started troubleshooting it took the switches apart and sprayed them with contact cleaner , checked all the connection firing for corrosion and there was none . tracked it down to a blown fuse under the right dash faring . it’s a 10 amp fuse so I pulled the spare and replaced it . it instantly blew …… had to replace it with the spare 20 amp fuse and now I have the park lights back and turn signals along with the horn . but my hazard flasher doesn’t work . any ideas would be helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Terry Posted July 17, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted July 17, 2022 The possible reason for the original fuse blowing is the brake light wires on the front brake lever. If the lever is rotated down too far, the connectors can contact the handlebar and cause a short, this happened to my 5th gen a few weeks back. I'm not sure why that would leave the hazard lights out however. Paging @Grum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted July 17, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted July 17, 2022 Try unplugging the "Turn Signal Position Relay", it has 6 wires going to it. This is the only device that is powered from the fuse (via the Hazard Switch) when nothing else is selected. Refit a 10amp fuse and see if it still blows. If not, then you most likley have a faulty "Turn Signal Position Relay". If you are saying the 10amp fuse blows instantly when Hazards Selected then the problem may be the 2 wire "Turn Signal Relay" (actually its the Hazard function Relay!). Try disconnecting this device and see if the fuse continues to blow. Not a good idea to be fitting a 20amp fuse where a 10amp should be, you could end up damaging your wiring. Do you have the proper wiring diagram for your bike? Does your bike have both Turn Signal Position Relay and the Turn Signal Relay along with Right and Left Hazard Diodes? As per attached drawing.
