No Turn Signals or Brake Light?
Was riding this evening and all of sudden, see a funny little light on the Speedo, and was tryin' to figure it out.
Tried my turn signals and nothin'. Also after I got stopped, noticed I didn't have a brake light... Hmmmm any ideas, other than busted wire, short, or? Looked in the OM and it said "Indicator Lamps".
I do have a head light and the bottom tail light on the fender but no brake light or tail lights or blinkers. Could it be a flasher maybe?
Thanx in advance....

I'd be willing to bet your ACC. fuse blew. Mine did a few times and I always had the same signs/symptoms. Turns out I had a wire from my cruise switch chafe bare against one of the posts on my oil pressure gauge.

So that would be your Accessory switch fuse, then, wfmedic?

Remove your left saddlebag and pull the cover, the fuse block is there. Should be easy to find the blown fuse. If you have a service manual, the electrical diagrams are pretty darn good if you go chasing the wires your self, I just did the same thing trying to find a short for my running lights.

I found it was a fuse and replaced it. It was the ACC fuse. However, when I turn on the ignition, I still get the code, even though I have turn signals and I do have tail light but no brake light, and when I do hit the brake light it seems to blow the "just replaced fuse", as I have replaced it now twice w/out it even moving out of my garage,
so maybe a chaffed wire somewhere....I'm thinkin'?
Maybe time to take it in to the dealer and let them figure it out....
