I rode my bike to work today and the blinkers and horn worked fine the whole way in, went do a vehicle inspection on it about an hour ago and hit left blinker (worked) right blinker (worked) 4 ways (worked) when i went to shut the 4 ways off they wouldnt turn off i had to pull the fuse and now the blinkers, 4 ways, and horn do not work. I checked all of the fuses and they are good. any ideas on what else it could be? maybe a relay? short? or the switches?

appreciate anyhelp

 

Had you recently done any work on the bike? Need a clue where to start.
If no work has been done, even loosening the controls to roll the bars a tad, then my first thought something has damaged the switches.

 

i would guess short... check the harness's under the seat maybe? under the rear fender?

 

Odd that both switches went 'bad' at the same time????????

 

Now that I looked closer at your bike, it looks lowered, so certainly look at the wiring under the rear fender.

 

somebody correct me if i'm wrong, but these bikes don't really have conventional turn signal relays do they? Isn't it all handled be the circuitry of the TSSM?

I would start by disconnecting the battery for a bit and re-seating the TSSM.
Just a simple suggestion before you go digging into harnesses and opening switch housings.

 

You said you checked the fuses. Did you just eyeball them or did you use a meter or continuity tester? I've seen fuses that looked intact but were blown.
If you have a load equalizer for led sigs it could have a glitch and need to be reset.
You have a TSSM for your sigs and security. Is the red key light on? You might have to reset the TSSM:
step # 1. move handle bar kill switch to off position
step # 2. turn your ignition key: on-off, on-off then on
step # 3. hit the left turn signal twice.
your turn signals and indicator light will flash 1 - 3 flashes
step # 4. hit the right turn signal once.
turn signals and indicator light will flash once.
step # 5. hit the right turn signal once.
turn and indicator signals will flash twice.
step # 6. hit right turn signal once.
turn and indicator signals will flash three times.
step # 7. hit left turn signal once.
turn and indicator signals flash to indicate error code
(see error code thread)
step # 8. to now clear codes, hit left turn signal and hold down for 6 seconds until confirmation.
turn and indicator signals flash twice.
step # 9. turn the ign switch to off

Thats it, TSSM is now reset and ready to roll

 

I did recently have a tire put on Yesterday was the first day i rode it since. I Got an error code but nothing for the turn signals. it was no combustion rear cylinder but was a historical code. I pulled the fuses and tested them tried replacing the relays. everything I Have read so far leads to a short. im guessing that my wiring harness got knocked loose during the tire swap. I am going to tear the rear apart tonight and I will let you all know what the verdict is.

Thanks For the help

 

+1 on checking wiring under the rear fender. Last time I had blinker issues, it was a bulb that was almost failing. Don't forget to check those too.

 

The problem was in the neck of the frame, the connector that runs to the handlebars came loose only one of them was loose but for some reason it affected both sides.
