Help dx Lft turn signal problem

[Iowa Guy]

Left turn signal doesn't seem to work when I apply the switch. When I apply the 4 way flasher all lights work. I assume that it means that I have a switch problem at the left handlebar control.

Connection on the Handlebar-Switch or the Wireing Harness Connector might be bad, check and clean both and this will be gone.

Squeeze is right but to answer your question yes, if the 4 ways work then the problem is most likely in the switch. The connector would be the best place to start...

Hey, sorry for disregarding your Question in my first Post.

 

I'll try to do better next Time !

Squeeze & Bongobobny,

Thanks for the reply. Indeed, left suddenly started working again. Guess that I need to check and clean those two connectors.

 

Thanks.

Douse the switch with Contact Cleaner!!

Where do I locate the wiring harness connector?

Its fixed. I went out to the local dealer, described the problem to the mechanic there and watch as he respectfully but oh so obviously glanced at me with his - OMG, doesn't he know anything - look.

 

The answer: WD-40

 

Now I am carrying some in the side bag right along side the duc tape.
