Horn not constant and front brake flashes
Hi,
Got a modified Nemesis kit bike with 1340 Evo, Santee softail frame, wide tyre modification, raked front and springer. So not standard so a bit of a pain when looking in manuals etc.
I have noticed for ages that when I use the front brake, the brake light flashes, around 1 second on, 1 second off. Back brake is constant. Front and back together light is constant.
This week I bought a new horn but then noticed that the horn was not constant, like front brake,1 second on, 1 second off.
Is there an indicator flasher unit some idiot could have wired both these up to? It seems about the same timing as an indicator.
I only had rear indicators, and these worked fine but I have removed them now and fitted battery powered cycle bar end indicators (but they keep falling off so I need to lock them with loctite or sealant).
Any ideas what else could cause brake light and horn to cycle on and off.
Thanks in advance
Mark

Wiring somewhere is joined, so indicators (none fitted), horn, and front brake were going through flasher relay for some reason. As no indicators, I have linked orange wire to red wire and horn and front brake are now constant :-)
Will have to investigate when I do a full rewire in the future.
