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.

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

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