    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What could be wrong if the horn and front brake switch stopped working. and the fuses are not blown? 1979 Suzuki GS850G
 
Probably two things...
1. The horn
2. The front brake light switch

:-s:-s

I got my horns going with a can of spray contact cleaner. The brake light switch may need the same thing along with every electrical connector and ground point on the bike. Get to cleaning !!
 
Could also be a bad wire in the circuit. They are both powered by the same fuse (along with the turn signals ... do they work?), but if there is a broken wire, they will not work. Check for good connections in and around the fuse box.


ps. delete your other identical post before someone posts to it. It can be confusing having two identical threads running. :-s
