Turn signals problem

[twobuells]

On the way home from work the turn signals worked fine but now I have no signals. Nothing else has quit working so it would make me think that the flasher failed ? Anyone else had a problem with their signals. It's a 09.

Check the plug going to the switch,and jingle the flasher,maybe something came loose?

Both sides??

Had the same prob. 2 months after getting my 09. It was a bad turn signal switch. Warranty got it.

 

[twobuells]

Yes both sides. Thats why I think it could be the flasher. Just going to try another one first and if thats not the problem the dealer can fix it.

A different flasher and still no signals but it rained at work so we ran by the dealer. It was a loose ground wire.

I had the same problem. One dealer contacted HD and blamed the installation of my heated grips. After proving them that their techs were complete morons, I took the bike to where I purchased it and they found a shorted wire in the harness under the steering neck (nowhere near the heated grips). Fixed under warranty and alerted the State Attorney's Office on the other dealer's attemp to void my warranty...

hey guys where was the loose ground wire, its location??? cheers

 

[twobuells]

It was under the flyscreen.

its behind the headlight to be more specific, and the earth wire had clearly broken free from the crimped eyelet??? so the electronic flasher no longer had power???
