booboobusfz07 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 So just got home from work. Riding home I discover my signals no longer flash. Doesn't matter left or right or if I turn the hazards on. If I turn them on they just stay solid. Why won't they flash?!?! Is my relay busted? I have motodynamic flushmounts up front. And ebay led signals out back. I use a led Flasher relay. All of this has been installed for 6+months with no issue . Proper adapters no splices everything has worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Id check fuses first ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboobusfz07 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Are the fuses under the seats or do I have to take a panel off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azuryn Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Under the seat, there are 2 boxes to check. Think the one with the signal light is the one on the right side. (Right when facing forward on the bike.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboobusfz07 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Cool. I'll check tomorrow and report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 If the signals are lighting (front and back), but not flashing, it's probably the flasher - especially if it's been working a long time. If the signals are not lighting at all, then it's more likely the fuse and possibly also the flasher. There are a lot of fuses under the seat (8?). Check the owner's manual for specific fuse locations. I'd guess there's more than just the signals on that one fuse as well - Is anything else dead as well?

booboobusfz07 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Everything else works. They light up just don't flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 not likely the flasher is on a different fuse from the signals. That the switch is letting the signals come on properly says it's ok and likely, so is the wiring - but you should check all of the connections you made with the mod. With regular bulbs, too low a current draw will result in a non-flash. That could be from a combined wattage that's too low or one bulb burned out. But your LED set-up was working for 6 months so not the case. Gotta suspect something in the electronic flasher unit has failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 First thing I always do is check the 10 amp fuses. Good luck! Always check the simplest/easiest things first. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cndnmax Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 It's your flasher relay. Blown fuse would mean no signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator sorkyah Posted May 19, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted May 19, 2016 check the fuses first... if those are good... the relay is shot the LED relays are essentially a PPTC resettable fuse. voltage leak from a malfunction within the fuse is possible and yours seems to have bypassed the thermistor in the relay causing a short to power thus the lighting of the signals ATGATT...

booboobusfz07 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Yeah. Just checked. Fuses are good I guess the flasher relay is bad. I'll try cycle gear tomorrow for a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
