Default random hazards and blinking still :(

Tried search and that thing is jacked or something keeps giving me no results found.

Anyway got my bike running great now and fixed my random blown headlight issue. All i need to do is fix my turn signals and im a happy camper.

Didnt think it was a huge issue when just the flashers were coming on randomly but now my turn signals are doing it and that alittle dangerous if people think im turning and pull out in front of me.

So anyway one know where i should start its a 91 is there like some relays or something i could change cause there prob original equipment.

You might want to get a service manual. Enough preaching from me. My bike is a 2002 so I doubt it is in the same place. Good luck and let su know when you find the problem.

Mine did that one time. Ended up being a loose ground. Not even the one to the signals.

I believe it is bad grounds in both front turn signals. I am ordering a new set of turn signals so i can rule that out alltogether, i do believe that is the culprit though.

Sux cause i was gonna buy a nice sissy bar bag for long rides but imma have to wait so the wife dont beat me lol.

Interesting...I was troubleshooting a signal that was INOP last weekend. I ended up buying a turn signal module, which is a dealer-only part at $140. It was non-returnable and it ended up being a shorted wire in a rear fender strut. Hopefully you find a bad ground. If you happen to need the module, let me know...get you in cheaper...
