    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.

Any idea how this could have happened? I guess I pulled too hard on one of the wires I pulled out of the way to get the cam cover off.
 
I don't know what bike you have, however, I encountered a similar instrumentation issue and here's what I discovered.

I found that a connector plug underneath the tank that looked very much connected was slightly loose. I unplugged it, cleaned the pins & receptacles, snapped it firmly back together & lighting returned to normal operation.

Of course it could be as simple as a burned out light bulb inside the cluster.
Depending on model.

Check the connector coupling unit first,
Then the light bulb, if that fails
break out the circuit tester and start testing.

Like Notz, and anybody else who happens to read this, we have NO idea what bike you are talking about (please put that in your signature), but fortunately, most of them are similar.

Remove the tank, look above the carbs for a single blue wire. It will likely run alongside a bundle of five or six wires (depending on what bike you have) that goes down toward your left footpeg. The bundle of five or six wires is for your gear position indicator, the single blue wire is for your neutral light. Check the connector near the top, where it exits the main harness.

Steve probably right,
You just might've disconnected or otherwise opened the connection somehow in the area you were working.
 
While riding it came back on OK, but I did press together all the wires to make sure.

Thanks, sorry for not listing the bike, 80GS1100E

Now add that to your signature.

If you are not sure how to do that, send me a PM, I'll 'talk' you through it.
