Turn signal switch possibly needed

[MAGIC]

I'm afraid I'm gonna need an entire left hand switch housing. My turn signals stopped working although hibeam and horn are working??? My question is are all the switch housings interchangeable between firebolt/lightning/blast?

First things first, check the wiring for the signals themselves.

Do you have aftermarket signals or a non-stock relay?

Do they not work at all, or do any of them just go on solid when you hit the switch?

 

[MAGIC]

They just blip when I turn them on. Checked the wiring and it seems like everything is fine - nothing loose, no corrosion. Front are aftermarket (regular bulb, no LED), rear are stock, stock flasher - maybe this sucker is bad?

 

[theoctopus]

What do you mean they blip? Do all lights blip when you turn them on? Do any of the signals appear dead?

Those switches are easy to rebuild. Take it part and clean the terminals and bend them out a little so they contact better.

The blip definition by MAGIC :

So If I turn the left or right signal switch to ON position, it will blink for a split second, turn off and that's it. Hit the cancel button, turn it ON again and the same thing - blink for a split second and goes off. Low/hi beam, hi beam flash and horn are working just fine.

Sorry, English isn't my first language but I try the best I can

Oh, and nobody answered my actual question yet... Are the switches interchangeable between lightning, firebolt and blast???

 

[dave_xb12r]

yes

Sounds like the flasher module is gone out, def cheaper than a whole switch pod, just to still have a problem

Same problem here, but no blip, and I'm thinking about a new switch. I'm guessing from some of the comments, that it si probably wiring over the switch? Not to mention, I just replaced the relay

On my 08 uly, there are 5-6 ground wires that connect to the neck stem with a screw, I lost signals, then my grip heaters, and finally headlights, screw was tight, no corrosion, checked it multi times, cleaned/WD40 the switches, then I did continuity check, found no grounds, went back to stem screw, yep, wires were broken inside the insulation, not visibly broke, but broke none the less, Rule#1 on these bikes is check for grounding issues

Thanks everyone for the input. I'm not automotive electrician at all unfortunately... I took everything apart and cleaned it throughout. Tighten all the screws. Nothing. Next step I'll replace the flasher. Maybe there is a fuse that sh!t it self?

 

[MAGIC]

Ladies and gentelman! Problem solved! BURNED FUSE! I should've checked that first... Off to the autoparts store for replacement.

Mine didn't even 'blip' - just stopped working altogether after cancelling them once late today.

Turned out to be the 'system' fuse too. And this was after I replaced the flasher as part of the troubleshooting. Had no idea the 'system' fuse controlled the turn signals. I'll know for next time

 

[GermanDude]

Im having the same issue, where is this fuse? I've checked every single fuse in the electrical box but they are all good

 

[german]

What fuse I need help where is the system fuse1
