Anyone know what would cause this?

[Diggy]

My Blinkers don't flash, they just stay solid color, also my horn doesn't work.
Would Anyone have an idea what would cause this, I am wiring up my bike to make it road legal.

Thank you:)

What vehicle/motorcycle are we talking about? Did you change any light bulbs lately (maybe changed some to LEDs?)?

If it's all original lights/flasher then:

I would start by checking the "Flasher" and any/all wires leading to your switch/buttons, the lights/horn, fuses, and the ground wires.

Usually a "solid/not flashing blinker" is due to a burnt out bulb, not enough electric draw to cause the "Flasher" to work, or an old and tired "Flasher" that doesn't work anymore (most only have a working life of 60 to 140 hours).

If it is your "Flasher" might I suggest looking into the Tridon brand (made in Australia), I always use them when I needed a new Flasher, I'm still using the one I bought 14 or 15 years ago for my Eagle Talon :) and it only cost $10 or $12 last time I bought one.

If you changed to LED Turn Signals, then you will need to either wire in some resistors or find a LED Flasher that is compatible with your vehicle... Both I'm not the best at with helping, I always got my Dad or the Internet to help me with the LED Turn Signals/Resistors wired.

Interesting, I don't think my bike even has a flasher or any resisters? I'm doing this harness from scratch and I wired the blinkers/lights,rearlight horn switches. Would any flasher or resisters be installed in the switch itself?

I dono, but maybe ill buy a flasher and install it on the blinker wires? do I need 4 flashers or just two? One on the Light Blue wire and One on the Orange wire?

Any tips on fixing my situation would be great.
Thanks

Just one. The blue and orange wires should come from either side of the ts switch.

Ok knowing you are building it from scratch helps a lot :tup:

Just one Flasher should work for the entire system, but it depends on what bulbs and watts/amps drawn on them to what Flasher you will need.

With the horn, you will need to wire in a fuse and relay also to get it to work properly, might need to check the ground(s) if it already has a relay/fuse wired in ;)

Sorry to say this....
Really mate.. If yer didn't know you needed a flasher unit
I don't think you should be playing around with the wireing at all...

And if you want to learn.... have someone beside you to learn from...

Yes I agree, but right now Spud is taking me step by step in the process of learning, I do not have anyone to show me, and I wish I did. This is a good learning fase for me and enjoying every minute, I have a lot of patients trust me. With 3 kids in the house I'm good to go :lmao:

This will teach me a lot, I enjoy doing it.

Yeah that harness would of been good, but I'm almost completed this setup. Just need to figure out why the horn is not working and the Blinkers are not blinking. The Trigger finger button too.. hmmm

Ok I found the ebay purchase history. They are LED Lights.
4x Black Front Rear Motorcycle LED Turn Signal Light 39mm Fork Clamp

So what items do I need to fix this issue?
