Topic: turn signals and brake light

[Vatch]

the rear driving light should be fed with a brown wire directly from the ignition switch.  if you get nothing on the rear light check that connection next.

It's a '80 650.
The bikes rear section isn't working. The brake won't light up with either the pedal, or the lever.

I'll go check the buld in the back again. I didn't realize it was a two filament.

What I have checked so far is the wiring box under the fuse box, and I can't get readings on the top left of the box, and the bottom right. (both have wires in them). The others with wires I can get proper readings on.

I checked the box with the main fuse (under the left side cover), and two of the four prongs (in the box) have power, the other two don't.
The connector right before it leads under the rear fender isn't showing any power.

Dual filament and 2 bulbs.  Is the ground good?   You might have to wire brush the sockets.

My bike had weird and crazy electrical problems.

I cleaned all the fuse holder contacts, and voila everything is working normal again.

I would try cleaning all the contacts at the fuse first.  Its quick and worth a try.
