Turn signal issue

[CrazyHorse]

Well I have a problem with my turn signals they work on emergency flash and they burn fine when the bike is running but when I try to use the turn signal all I get is a buzzing noise from the flasher/hazard relay. Bought a used one from Pinwall cycle parts same thing buzzing noise. I attempted to clean the contacts in the switch. Is there a voltage I should look for at the main connector to the flasher/hazard relay? Thanks Jim

Jim first check the connector at the relay for a good ground then for voltage it sounds like maybe a high resistance ground problem.

When the Hazard Switch is in the " OFF " position, it sends voltage to the section of the relay that runs the turn signals. This voltage has to go thru that switch, the "off" contacts, then thru a plug from the switch, and then to the turn signal relay. This circuit might be open or dirty high resistance connections.

 

Follow the cable from the Hazard Switch to a an " Eight wire connector " open the up and clean contacts with CRC 2-26

 

Also, there will be a Black wire from the relay, that goes to ground thru the Plug to the relay. Make sure that wire actually has a good ground.

 

Also, give the turn signal L R switch a good bath with CRC 2-26 electrical contact cleaner, and blow out with compressed air.

 

Also, follow the cable from the turn signal " switch " to a 4 wire pull apart connector, open it, and clean contacts with contact cleaner.
