flasher relay buzzing?

rawbert625 · July 12th, 2012, 01:12 AM

I was riding my bike today when I heard a buzz. I checked the turn signals and sure enough the right side doesn't turn on but the left does. I followed the buzz the the flasher relay. Is my relay bad or is it something else?

Also my turn signals are LED's however the previous owner installed them (so I'm assuming he got them along with an aftermarket relay since the were working just fine before)

The led bulbs don't appear to be burnt out. Would this matter?
I also noticed that the left (working) turn signal doesn't flash when It push the switch. It stays on constantly.

Try checking the connections and connectors

my relay was buzzing too, and my turn signals weren't working. i just updated to integrated tail lights and led flush mounts on the front. i changed the relay, and all was well.

I tried switching to integrated and it still buzzes. I switched the relay as well to the tridon EP34. what relay did you use?

I used relays and flush mounts from http://www.modmy250.com/LP.html. Motodynamic integrated tail lights. I'm not much of an electrical person though, sorry. I think I read +20 threads/sites just to get down how to do the changes.

Ha, yeah same here. I barely figured out how to make sense of the wiring diagrams. Alright thanks anyway!
