Post by Marv »

When I use the turn signals all four signals come on just like I used the hazard in the on position. I have replaced the turn signal switch on the handle bar,turn signal cancel unit turn signal relay,all the lite bulbs removed all the body work,chased wires from the Battery,fuse box,relay,to the gauges,to ignition switch and to each corner of the bike any ideas would be welcome Oh yeah the bike is a 1997 Voyager Thanks Marv

I'd suggest replacing your flasher for one made for LEDs. There are other threads with details. It'll maybe fix it, and now ur ready to swap to LEDs.

Possible bad ground connection in the circuit. Bad/floating grounds will cause strange behaviors. Just spit-balling, though. I agree, check your relays, but also look for cross-connects between the hazard circuit, and the turn signal circuits. Use the nice color schematic available on this site, to trace them out, looking for shorts where there should be none. Cheers!

Thanks for your comments I took the bike out of storage everything was working about two weeks later the signals are not working I installed a led flasher no change replaced all the bulbs (not leds) I have taken all the body work off and traced the wiring from the battery to fuses right to each individual turn signal followed each wire one by one opened up the main wire looms found no breaks or cracked wiring Also took apart every connection cleaned them and used dielectric grease when reconnected them I have checked the instrument panel distance sensor replaced the turn signal switch,turn signal cancel switch and as you can imagine this has been quite time consuming I appreciate any idea or suggestion Thank you for your input so far and sorry for not getting back to the website earlier. Thank You Marv

Well, that's a lot of work.
How about tracing the power -- do you have 12V where you're supposed to? (I don't have the wiring diagram here, but it's in the repair manual available on this site.)
