1 Testing load shed relay Thu Oct 26, 2017 2:02 am

Hi all -
I think I have a faulty load shed relay. Leaving work this afternoon I found both left/right signals inop, then towards the end of my ride they both seemed to come back to normal.
Shut the bike down once home, then went to check them (ignition switch to Run) and now no signals or headlight. I've had the relay go out before and had these similar symptoms.
I did swap the horn and load shed relays in the Relay box and still no headlight, signals (or horn). Checked fuse continuity and all check good. I will go back and clean up the fuse contacts as a next step.
Bike does start, no issues with starter relay.
Looking for a simple diagram that shows which pins to run +/- power and which to measure voltage (?) with my multi-tester.
Full disclosure, I have changed out to LED signals (and am using resistors, didn't go into the flasher relay) and they've worked fine until today. I don't think its my LED mod.
Thanks,
Tony Marts
