Indicators not working?
Just stripped most of the fairing off my bike, fixed the oil leak the mechanic was supposed to do, took it for a jet wash all very clean, put it back together, the Indicators are not working. I connected all the connectors back, wiggled them etc, checked the fuses. Before I change the connectors, which I think it may be, is there anything obvious I'm missing? The front indicators are led's, the back are normal. None of them are working.

Re: Indicators not working?
Do the connectors connect cetain way round? try swapping them. LED's need to be connected the right way round to work.

I put them all back how I found them. The wires are coloured differently, so even I couldn't mess that up!

Re: Indicators not working?
p.s. Even the back ones stopped working when I had the front ones off. On previous bikes the rest would work, but not flash if one or two were disconnected.

Re: Indicators not working?
Did cross my mind, but I was hoping it was something else. All the other electrics work fine. Off to halfords now for some connectors. I may just connected the wires without the connectors first, to see if that is the problem.
