My fuses are loose in the fuse holder and when I wiggle them I get “things happening”. At times no headlight , no horn, then headlights , horn no running lights..etc etc.. The latest is all lights and flashers are now working except my rear turn signals are not on as running lights..

The fronts often have a running light function, which if shut off when you actuate that side's turn signal. Thus, go to R and the right front light goes out. >If neither front nor rear flash, check to make sure your flasher relay is properly connected and functioning first, before you start replacing parts willy nilly. >Do you have a manual or wiring diagram for your bike? >Kurt >On Mar 29, 2013 1:03 PM, "jsteve88" <[email protected]> wrote: > >any electrical wizards out there? >> >>All my lights worked fine. >> >>I recently replaced the turn signal stay stem on my right rear.. very simple >>task..I gently pulled two little wires out of their connectors and then put >>them back in when done..green into green and blue into blue...even >>photographed it beforehand to be sure I didn't mess up.
