Indicators not working
Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2019 9:00 am
Hello,
As title says, the indicators sometimes do not work (with sometimes I mean in the past 6 months twice... does not seem a lot but can be quite frustrating - from now on this will be one of my pre-ride checks everyday). On this forum I have read many times to clean the switch etc.
Those two times it happened all the other lights were functioning correctly except indicators and hazard lights switch (which of course also control the indicators).
Each time this happened I turned the ignition key to stop the engine and cut electricity to all circuits, turn engine back on - still not working.
What did make them function again was to turn the ignition key off, take the key out completely. Next put the key back in, power up the system (no engine start)... Somehow taking the key out makes a difference.
Has anyone had this particular issue before?
Thanks in advance, not really a serious issue as I know how it can be 'fixed' (resolved at the time) but as stated, it just frustrating when you are riding and after a couple of turns you notice the lights at the dashboard are not blinking (I do not look down everytime I use the indicators to see if the are properly functioning...).
