Turn signals not working

[vrider57]

Hello everyone this is my first time to post. A big thanks to Freebird for your help. I just purchased a 1993 Yamaha Venture Royal and the turn signals are not working. They are not getting power to them and all the fuses are good. Can anyone help. Thanks

...all the fuses are good.

Check with a multimeter on each side of the "SIGNAL" fuse for battery voltage. Sometimes the fuse appears intact but is in fact open.

Also, very common on the original First Generation fuse blocks to have bad continuity through the fuse clips due to corrosion and/or lack of tension on the fuse clips.

Does the horn(s) work? Does the Hazard (four way flashers) work? Do the front running lights illuminate when the headlight is on?

The 4 way flasher cable must be plugged into the harness for the turn signals to work.

 

Just in case you have it apart somewhat.
