No Turn signal lights work

Post by BikeDude402 »

I recently bought a strong running 1994 Voyager. The only issue is the turn signals don’t work. Im kind of lost as to where to begin. I’ve checked all the bulbs and they are all good. I’m unsure what would cause all light to quit working. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The normal plan would be to spend some quality time with the schematic and then start working backwards from the lights that don't work until you can find power like you're supposed to. Or start at the battery and work forward to find where the power dies.

But most folks probably start with simple checks like fuses, wonky connectors, flasher units, and switches, or broken wires. From the little you said, this could be anything.

I recommend against thinking this will be easy. If it actually is easy to figure out, then celebrate! Otherwise, electrical gremlins are notoriously difficult, and MaKa's schematic can be complex.

Hello,BikeDude402.We are glad to see you on the AVA forum :thmup:
Along with what Nails said,you might want to check the turn signal switch. :hmm:
The schematic,if you have downloaded it,would show you where it is.

Thanks for the advice. I stared at the battery and worked forward. I found the flasher relay to be bad so I replaced it with an EP34 relay from AutoZone. That allowed the hazards to come on but not the individual blinkers. I took the switch apart in the handle bar and found a broken connector. Fixed that and everything worked as it should. Thank you again for the advice and starting point!
