Guest Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 1. undo the switch so that it doesn't press on the bars, try your horn indicators now, if all is ok your switches are shorting on the bars, a layer of insulation tape on the bar will insulate..not that....2.. follow the leads back from the front indicators and horn, I would suggest that one of the wires is the wrong way round or in the wrong connector.. unod a set at a time and try the horn/indys again, trial and eroor i'm afraid...

mattrick Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 when you say switch do you mean the housing on the handle bars where the horn and the indicators are worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin the Bear Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 The main earth comes from the battery to the frame. Make sure battery terminals are not loose and the other end is secure. A battery in a poor state of charge will give similar symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I always thought if you have an earthling problem you need to use an alien key to fix it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
