Maybe......if the light goes on but doesn't flash, it might be the flasher. But if you have nothing.....i'd check power to the switch or maybe take the switch apart and have a look. That switch sees a lot of action thru the years.

I was kinda thinkin' the same way.......or maybe there's a flasher unit somewhere on the bike that could be the culprit?

OK, so a while back my turn signals quit.  I opened up the fusebox and replaced the bad fuse, and all was right in my world.  Then a few days later, the signals were out again.  What the heck?  This time the fuse is good!  I looked all over for a short or bare wires......nothing.  The headlight bucket was good, as were the wires along the frame.  All the bulbs are fine too.

And so, while the steering still works fine, the only signals I can give are good old fashioned hand signals.  While I'm cool with the old timey nostalgia of that, most people don't have a clue what I'm doing when I throw up the left arm in a right angle to signal a right turn.  (It's kinda fitting with the style of the bike though!)

So, what now?

Off to the stealership?

Got any better ideas?

(My bike is a 2001 1500 if that makes any difference.)
