    My Right front and rear indicators seem to be working fine but when I go to use the left indicators the from left stays on constantly and the left rear not at all.

    Any ideas of how to fix?

    Thanks, Thom.

    Heres the order i'd check.

    1-Rear bulb, obvs -.-
    2-Open the control unit (on the bars) spray abit of GT45,DUCK OIL, WD40 etc,etc in there, and work it back and forth, it may just not be making a good connection.
    3-Take off the panels and look at the connections, give them a file down on the terminals.
    4-Check fuses and relay.
    5-Trace all wires back to find a broken one, with the rear check the terminals with a multimeter to make sure electricity it getting to it (if the bulb is fine)


    IT MAY JUST NEED A BULB, I REMEMBER ON MY OLD DT I THINK IT WAS, THEY DIDNT FLASH IF ONE BULB WAS OUT AS IT WAS USED AS PART OF THE RELAY.

    Hope this helps, let me know?

    Ta for the info.

    Think the bulb is ok, looks like its vibrating out of the holder so not loosing connection.

    CHECK it.
    What you mean vibrating out of the holder? that is a bad connection if its falling out, check the terminals and fuses then get back to us :)

    The bulb is fine as I thought, Its just a bad connection yeah. I just have to take the indicator cover off and apply the slightest bit of pressure anti clockwise and it works perfectly. Done a few miles since the fix and it hasn't happened and if it does its a 30 second fix, i keep a cross head on me and i will know if it happens because the left front will stay on.
