No Indicators help?? RVF

Post by blanc »

Hi All

I am unable to get my indicators working on the bike. It has all new fuses(main under seat), new switchgear, and all new LED Indicators. I am unable to get this to work. Am I doing something wrong? The horn does not work from the switchgear either...I presume the bike is not getting power to the switch and suggestions?????


Please help

Hi
Did everything work ok before you changed things, does your brake light work?

Ok, the reason i asked about the brake light is because its on the same circuit as you indicators so we can be sure where the fault is. Also i dont have an rvf, i have the electrical drawings in front of me so ill try my best. According to the drawings there is a brown and white wire coming from your 10amp fuse which supplies your indicators and brake light. With the ignition on can you check if there is 12 volts on the brown and white wire at the switch, by using a multi meter set to DC volts, and put one probe on the brown and white wire and the other probe on the frame of the bike. You should get a reading of 12 volts, if you dont i would suggest you have a wire break because i think the horn gets its supply from the same wire, but if you do have a voltage there let me know and we will go from there. Also does your indicator relay click in and out when you turn the indicators on, it is located under the rear seat cowling and you should be able to hear it clicking.

Sounds like having a looksee at the wiring diagram is in order. Just trace all wiring colours back from the stuff that's not working.
