Turn signal intermittent
Turn signal intermittent
The front right turn signal works fine. The flasher on the instrument cluster does not flash. A few times the right rear has started flashing intermittently and when it does, the flasher on a instrument cluster also flashes.
Is it possible the flasher relay could be bad or does that work for left and right side?
All the wiring and connectors seem to be fine. and nothing wrong with the bulb.
Re: [R90SWORLDNET] Turn signal intermittent
I had 2 problems on a K1100RS, horn on switch cluster and turn indicator switch in a different cluster. I removed the switches from the handlebars, turn them over and sprayed them with contact cleaner. The clear spray dribbled out was the colour of ink. No more problems.

flasher if it is related to the relay. However a relay can become sick and
sometimes repaired. The attached picture shows a relay from my wifes R90S,
where the flashing was erratic, sometimes no flashing and other times work
as intended.
The problem was in the soldering on the printcard. In direct translation
from Danish - it was a "cold soldering". A good warm resoldering of the
point fixed the issue

Guess I need to remove the tank and do some more wire checks again.
Re: [R90SWORLDNET] Turn signal intermittent
NOTE that the indicator lamp is not connected to the left or right lamps circuit, but has to a separate circuit inside the flasher unit. Note, additionally, that, assuming the lamps are all making proper contact and wiring intact, that a bad front or rear lamp results in the indicator lamp flashing once, and then it stays un-lit….this is to tell you a lamp or connection to a lamp, has failed.
If the flasher unit is not the stock unit, then you may have a bit more fun and games to figure out.

Re: Turn signal intermittent
If the flasher relay is going bad, it can cause one side or the other to stop flashing or become intermittent."DAVID LEMAIRE" <dslemaire@aol.com> wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:02 pmI have a 1976 R90/6 and the right rear turn signal is intermittent.drift hunters
