Title: indicators
Post by: chris on January 18, 2007, 05:44:53 PM

Hi
I am trying to sort ou the indicators on my son's nsr 125.Both work on the right side but not on the left.Apart from blown bulbs would this tell me anything.Where should I start.Am I right in assuming that it is not the relay as one side is ok.Any help appreciated.

Being a 125 they could have saved money by linking front and rear in series. Therefore, just like cheap Xmas tree lights, if one goes out, both go out! Just replacing a bulb might cure it. If not can you hear the relay 'clicking' when using the non-working side? If yes, probably a wiring problem between relay and both lights. If no, then the coil in the relay could have burnt out, or there is a wiring problem between the switch and the relay. I would imagine that it has a fairly simple wiring loom so it should be relatively easy to identify problems*. A multimeter is a cheap, and very useful, piece of kit to have in this sort of situation.

*I should add a rider to this, in that whenever I do job that appear "fairly simple" they often take for ever!!!!!

First thing replace the relay !
Then start checking if it doesnt work.
No front and back are not in series,they are in parallel.
