1985 superglide electrical problem
Anyone: I have a 1985 fxef (one of the 2400 built with chain drive, not a belt). A couple of days ago, I lost all of my turn signals and the brake light will not illuminate when I step on the rear brake lever,but the brake light does come on when I squeeze the front brake lever. Last summer, I replaced the rear brake , hydraulic pressure switch, so I don't thin that's the problem, plus when that went out last year, I still had turn signals. After checking all of the bulbs and replacing them , I then replaced the self resetting circuit breakers for lighting and accessories, but this did not rectify the situation.
Does anyone have any advice as how to pinpoint/correct this problem ?

If you have power on one side of the rear brake switch with the key on..................jump the two post with a jumper wire........and if your brake light works,,,,,,,,,It's the switch. I have a 85 Fxst and have been through 3 rear brake switches so far. For the signals I would try a new Flasher first

I was able to identify and rectify the problems: the flasher unit was not working anf the rear brake lihht switch was also inoperative. I replaced both and the bike is now functioning properly
