Trying to give my neighbor a hand with his bike. He changed out the front blinkers from the stock to some new plastic ones. They are still incandescents, and he changed out the little winker relay as the other one was making a horrid buzzing sound and not working properly. The new one he put in is just from the auto store, it's not the stock one.
So, here is the problem, his right turn signals work, but the left turn doesn't. When he turns it to left, you can hear the winker unit clicking, and the headlight dims, brightens, dims brightens. At first he thought somehow he had wired the headlight to the switch
, but I think its just the power lowering from the turn signals. I verified he wired them up properly, I even put bullet connectors on it. I checked continuity to the switch on the handle bars and that all checks out. I am thinking that there must be a short in the system somewhere possibley due to the old winker unit not working properly and heating up the wires. He is gonna track down a color diagram so we can trace the wiring. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brandon
