Right blinker not working - Help with wiring?
« on: April 28, 2023, 07:46:19 AM »
Hi all, I've got a '76 cb550 and I noticed yesterday that my right blinker wasn't blinking. I looked at the wires and saw that the black wire coming from the indicator was disconnected and a housing for what looked like it's connection. I've attached 2 images here showing what I'm talking about. Do I just need to reconnect the wire in that housing?

Your bullet connector is missing on the end of that bare wire. Must be in the female connector. Don't just shove that bare wire in do it the right way or it will just fall out.

Great, thanks Johnie. I'll look up the right way and give that a shot.

 Local auto part stores sell a bigger bullet connector, Vintage connections has the proper size bullets for a Honda.
