    1982 GS1100GL Turn signal relay issue

    So, my turn signal relay on my 82 GS1100GL finally crapped the bed. I saw on Basscliff's site that you can wire in a EP34 flasher as I do have newer LED turn signals now. I followed his instructions exactly and I now have zero turn signals what so ever. Anyone ever run across this? I might just end up trying to find the OEM turn signal relay, even though I just cut the harness, I'll be able to fix that.

    When did you install the LED's, If I understand it right, they aren't supposed to work with OEM or regular flashers, they don't draw enough current.

      I installed the LED flashers a week ago and the OEM worked as long as I manually would flick the switch on/off. And the EP34 flasher say it is for LED lights 2-6 lamps. So I'm kind of baffled as to why it is not working. As far as I can tell I have wired it correctly I believe. The orange/green wire has 12v and is connected to the E terminal on the new relay and the light blue wire is connected to the L wire and then I have the B terminal just grounded to the battery. I'll have to do some further testing after work to see if maybe I coincidentally have a bigger issue now.

        **UPDATE** Well, I figured it out, for some reason my 82 GS1100 wiring or maybe the relay changed. The orange/green(12v switched) actually had to go to the B terminal on the EP34 relay and then the light blue stayed on the L terminal of the relay The ground had to be on the E terminal as well. After I swapped that around the flashers are now working as intended. I still just bypassed the self cancelling feature as I can live without it..

          Thanks. Had the same problem with my '80 GS850G and it works perfectly now with the wiring change. Nice to have an easy fix once in a while. LOL Kaz
