    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...

    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.

Indicating on both sides

Hi all!

So I have rewired by 1981 gs450 but I am having one problem, when I connect the two positive wires from each respective indicator to the speedometer indicator indicator (yes, I wrote that twice. It is the bulb the flashes on the speedometer when you indicate), the indicators flash on both sides when I turn left or right and the indicator indicator bulb flashes. However, when I disconnect the two positives from the indicator indicator on the speedometer, the indicators flash correctly (they don't both flash at the same time). I have tried messing around with diodes on the two respective wires and nothing is working for me here.

So that's:

- Indicators both flash when I indicator left or right when speedometer indicator indicator is connected
- Indicators flash correctly to the left or the right when the indicator indicator is disconnected.

Thanks in advance for the help!

-Ben
 
You need to connect the left and right side using diodes. This allows either blinker set (left or right) to light the indicator light but blocks the voltage from going to the other side (giving you the 4 way light show).

Steve will probably be along; he has drawn up the schematics and selected appropriate diode parts.

Or you could do a search.

Ok, I stopped by and saw this, but am mobile. When I get home, will try to get the picture posted (it's in Photobuchet).

Benjo, I have to ask, ... did you install LED turn signals? If so, that is likely the cause of your situation. (It's only a 'problem' if it is unresolved.)

I am home now, let's see if Photobucket still works.

This was originally drawn up for use with an LED in the panel indicator, but the concept remains the same.

You will need the two diodes (simple 1N4001 will do very nicely) connected back-to-back. At their junctiton, connect one lead of your panel light, connect the other lead to a ground (earth).
