Indicators not working?

Post by Brett »

Just stripped most of the fairing off my bike, fixed the oil leak the mechanic was supposed to do, took it for a jet wash all very clean, put it back together, the Indicators are not working. I connected all the connectors back, wiggled them etc, checked the fuses. Before I change the connectors, which I think it may be, is there anything obvious I'm missing? The front indicators are led's, the back are normal. None of them are working.

Do the connectors connect cetain way round? try swapping them. LED's need to be connected the right way round to work.

I put them all back how I found them. The wires are coloured differently, so even I couldn't mess that up!

p.s. Even the back ones stopped working when I had the front ones off. On previous bikes the rest would work, but not flash if one or two were disconnected.

Did cross my mind, but I was hoping it was something else. All the other electrics work fine. Off to halfords now for some connectors. I may just connected the wires without the connectors first, to see if that is the problem.
