- August 02, 2011, 09:53:50 AMSounds like a ground problem. Two wires connect the signals to the main harness, one is power, the other is the ground. If you have power to the socket, then the only other problem is the ground. At this point, I would connect a jumper wire to the outside of the socket (that's the ground part) and then to a good frame ground. The chrome bumper should be good since it's attached to the swing arm and gear case...Since these turn signals are rubber mounted, the problem might be a broken wire near the socket, itself. Reach up under the fender and remove the 2 nuts holding the tail light on and check the wires in the fender cavity, too. There is a plug for each side, and perhaps corrosion had reared it's ugly head...
