I'm thinking that the only solution to this problem is to keep looking, but I am hoping someone has a useful suggestion.
I am getting Succubus, my second XS1100F, running. The bike starts and runs now, headlight, taillight and horn all work. So do the running lights. The last remaining issue before I try running it around is the turn signals.
This is Texas. I can take the signals off and still pass inspection. I like signals, though.
So anyway, the signals do not light up. They used to. They don't now. For some reason I have no juice on any of them. I have cleaned the left hand switch. There is power going to it and I can see no reason why there wouldn't be power coming out. I have juice over the r/y wire and juice through the fuse. I have traced the wires (stripped off about two miles of electrical tape to do it) and I cannot find any breaks of shorts.
Can any of the components in the signal system (flasher, self canceler) go bad and make the system not light up at all? I can deal with lights that don't flash, but the lack of any juice at all for no reason I can see is vexing. I hate to start buying parts until I have some idea what the issue is.
