OK gents... heres the deal.
73 CB350f, has been running fine, have tore down and rebuilt nearly entire bike over 2 yrs. (So, "I" have to take the blame for any major problems with wiring.)
Problem 1-
turn signal switch has had issues so i rebuilt it. Pretty simple switch, the sliding contact piece was pretty worn and burnt, replaced it. Cleaned 3 contact pins on the small switchboard and epoxied it to fix a crack. ALL works well... until I remove and reinstall the controls. Now only left ft signal works, right makes the headlight and running lights blink. All connections seem to be correct in hl bucket. (now thinking i may have pinched/shorted something in controls perhaps) On to the other issue...
Problem 2-
no oil or neutral light. replaced with LEDS mounted in gauge. Did oil/neutral/highbeam all the same. Highbeam works fine, have never got other 2 to work. LEDS work on their own and flash once when the main switch is shut off. Have run tests and both wires to sensors are good. Thought might be bad sensors..replaced the oil one, no change. I'm assuming the oil sensor breaks ground when pressurized to turn off bulb. Neutral switch, i have no idea... haven't really looked into that one yet.
Confused and tired, though some of you may have some ideas.
i did find this but wasn't a problem before...so...?

Ok, I know what it is. They mistakenly hooked up the old running light wires . Probably to the ground wire . The original front signals had 2 leads a piece coming out of them. One was solid orange, and a solid blue. Then there was a black with a blue ring, and a black with an orange ring. What you need to do is ground the new LED signals to the green wire in the bucket, then for the positive , use ONLY the solid org &blu. Tape off the black/blue black/org.
