Frame Grounding / Signal Light Issue

[Benny]

Can anybody please tell me where the earth wires ground to the frame on a 2013 pcx? Haven't found any info online.

Also, my front right signal light isn't working, however when I press the side of the bulb on the frame, it starts to work. I assume this is simply a faulty earth on the socket. I would have thought if it's the circuit the left side signal would stop working too. Any ideas?

I have a 2013 PCX and know the wiring quite well. Much of the wiring bundle begins and ends down the right side of the bike, with the front being connected through the ground in the rear. If the bulb itself works in the other positions then the socket may have a bad connection. You will need to get access to the back of that socket so that you can trace the wires. It may have been pinched or broken where it bends around in the front in order to follow the frame. Once you can access the connector put the bulb in, turn on the signal, and them move each of the two wires separately. IF...big IF...the ground wire is your only problem, you can ground it anywhere on the frame. It is a common ground, and as long as the ground is not painted it should be fine. The current will seek the closest ground. However, you will need to find out where the broken connection is because whatever caused that wire to break could cause the other wire to eventually short out, and THAT will drain your battery quickly.
