Hi people,
My turn indicators are playing up and I am hopeful that somebody may be able to help me.
The symptoms are: When I press any of the indicator buttons (left, right or cancel) all of the indicator bulbs light up and go out as soon as I let go; if I hold any of these buttons in for more than a second or two, they all start to flash, and go out as soon as I let go.
I have swapped the green flasher unit for another and it makes no difference.
The wires that lead into the hazard-lights switch are not connected to the switch, but that switch has never worked since I've owned the bike.
Somebody suggested that it might be the indicator time-out relay, but I'm not sure that my bike has one of those, and I don't know where to look for it if it has.
Someone else suggested that it may be the connector leading into the instrument cluster. It doesn't seem to make any difference when I turn the handlebars to-and-fro.
Please, does anyone recognise these symptoms? I must admit that electrickery is a dark art to me and BMW electricks seem to be more complicated than Twin Peaks.
