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.

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.

Horn and console lights mystery

Help! My son has a 1982 GS 450 TZ that was fine when the riding season began this year. For some reason, while just sitting in the garage both the horn, high/low beam light, and gear indicator light all stopped working. Tonight I pulled the horn switch apart to check the contacts after testing the horn to make sure it worked by applying 12 V, which it did. After cleaning the horn button contacts I used an ohmeter to check continuity of the wires which was also good so when I pushed the button I got a good reading on ohm gauge. Put it back together thinking it was fixed and still nothing! I haven't even begun to figure out what's happened to the console lights as I've gotten pretty fed up with the horn issue. Like I said, one day everything was fine, next time it was started, all sorts of problems. Only thing working in the console is the turn indicators. Any ideas before I torch this P.O.S. for the insurance?
