Left side indicators not working

Post by Zezxion »

Hey guys, so I've been scouring the net for an answer on how to fix this for a while.
I'm running a VFR400R NC30 jp spec.
When I activate the turn indicators on the right side, they'll work fine, and the dash indicator will flash with them.
When I activate the left side, no clicking will happen for a few seconds, then the relay will click sporadically and the dash indicator won't light at all.
I've tried a new relay, checked the grounds, swapping the bulbs, cleaning the switch electrical contacts, checked the wires.
I'm completely at a loss.


There's no shop near me that'll take a look at it, and I'm losing my mind trying to figure out what's causing it myself.
Anyone dealt with this before and may be able to help or point me in the right direction?

Have you checked inside the lenses?as the grounds in there can rust.

"checked the grounds", which grounds, how? "checked the wiring", which wiring, how? You need to test the switch electrical continuity. Are the bulbs the correct wattage?
