Blinker issue

[Bschwarzli]

Right before I pulled the 90 off the road (6 weeks ago) for the NV 5600 swap I started to develop a blinker issue. Sometimes it would blink and you would hear the click, other times you would just see the dash indicator go solid.

I replaced the blinker doohickey on the fuse panel and tried it yesterday to ensure a good install before back on the road. It failed.

Light stays solid and no clicking.

Thoughts? Possible its grounding somwhere?

I'd check for a corroded bulb socket

[Bschwarzli]

Hmmmm. Had not considered this. Thank you.

A broken wire inside a bulb can do weird things, too.

Broken ground wire on socket assembly ?

Have you changed the blinker fluid lately?

[ellis93]

Dang it I FORGOT about that stuff

Have you changed the blinker fluid lately?

I drilled a hole in my lense because it was filling up with water and frying the socket. I didn't realize that was blinker fluid

[Bschwarzli]

Have you changed the blinker fluid lately?

You smart butt!

Thanks guys. I will check all of the above and see what I find! I will even check the blinker fluid.....

Well, it looks like the old relay was done, and the new one I put in also did not work. I assumed new would be good. Wrong!!!!

All seems to work now..... chinese crap.....
