Weird thing happen last night while i was driving home. My signal lights stop working for no apparent reason. All my other lights are working fine, dash light ups,flashers and high beam. I look around for a short but everything looks good. Ive check all the fuses, all are in good working order. Ive even took apart the light switch but found nothing wrong with it. I am completely baffled.
I have LEDs Ive got from ebay and AmericanSportsbike, 3 of them have condensation. could this possible affect them from lighting up?
 
I'd check the blinker relay too.

The stock relay is behind your flyscreen, and depends on load for blink time. If you have no load (all LED) then the relay might not like that. It might be as simple as getting a blinker relay that can work with an all LED system

About the condensation, unless the condensation is salt water or sulfuric acid, the leds shouldn't really be effected. hook one of your led blinkers up to a 12volt source and see if they light up. If the do, then attatch your stock blinker and see if you can hear the relay clicking.

Did you read the 1125(c)r thread about the rear blinkers?
 
thanks Kajer, i dont hear anything sounds coming from the stock relay, so i assume that might be the culprit. The LED lights came with relays to prevent them from blinking so quickly but i dont think they are the cause since i connected the wires side by side. Yeah, i did read some of the 1125 threads, so far i think someone said failure of the lights could possibly be from redlining the bike.
