spree blinker wont flash

Post by maxreverb »

The right rear turn signal won't flash on my 86 Spree. It just stays lit when i turn it on. Tryed replacing the bulb but nothing changed.
i noticed if i leave the right turn blinker on and ride full throttle it will give a flash now and then but not steady, weird huh? Any ideas how to remedy this?

Two questions:
Does your right front signal lamp light?
Do your left signals work front/rear?

Flasher is load sensitive.

It's down to a bad connection between socket to ground or socket/lamp to turn sig switch wire. Just pull that front right bulb, and go to work with your meter.

Problem solved, turned out there was an unattached green wire in the front reattached it and now all binkers blinking! Thanks guys on to my AERO electrical problem hopefully it will end up being something easy like that.
