Turn signal issue, on going.

[oldschoolgs1100e]

81 gs1100e. On going prob. w/ right blinkers. Bulbs o.k., tried 2 diff. relays, new signal switch, new ign. switch. disconnected cancel, didn't know i even had it, still same prob. Left worked without it even pluged in and same deal w/ the RT not working/ buzz. Checked the ground I could find at the front, seems good. running lights work & so do the left blinkers. Checked connections I think are involved, clean & die elec. grease. I can find no bare wires. The relay includeing 2 others all do the same. Left works but the right when switched buzzes at the relay. Took the cover off the relay... again LT. works but RT. sticks open it looks like & buzzes. I'am running out of ideas! They both worked until the switch took a crap & was replaced. Maybe a prob. were it connects to the cluster/indicator? The indicator light comes on for the LT. blinker but nada other than the buzz for the RT. Any ideas? Thanks.

A buzz when turning on the right indicator would seen to indicate a short to ground. Are you sure you didn't pinch a wire somewhere?

Rusty. Boy have I looked for that very thing but have not found anything, I wish I would find something! I may have to dig deeper. Might have to start pulling the harness apart. Any other ideas? Thanks

Swap the right and left turn signals and see if the problem follows, it's not much of a start but it's something you could eliminate completely.

Did you change any of the turn signal bulbs?

[oldschoolgs1100e]

I did try new bulbs but no go. I may try swapping blinkers, like I said, I'am running out of ideas. Thanks guy's. Anything ealse? Any idea is a good one at this point!

Maybe a glimmer of light! took some advice from a member. Disconnected the front blinker/switch around and nothing. Today dissconected the rear & at least the panel light comes on!! A step in the right direction I do believe.

Does the front signal light up with the rear disconnected?

[oldschoolgs1100e]

Rusty. Thanks for the interest! No the FT. did not light up & I was getting frustrated. Just now removed the rear & wouldn't you know... The ground was pinched, from a prev. tinkering. ha ha. Gotta laugh at yourself sometimes! Wow how could I miss that, 48 yrs. & you would think a person would learn! Funny. I will redo it here in a bit but I'll bet that was the problem. Thanks again for the help!!!

That hurts don't it?
Whenever I have a problem, and I did some work in that area, it's usually because of something I overlooked putting it back together. So now when I have a problem I'm thinking "OK, time to recheck my work"
For instance, my bike wouldn't turn over, and I'm thinking, whats up with this? I pushed started it and on the ride back was thinking what I had done to the bike recently, and I thought, I had just repainted the headlight shell. Sure enough I opened the headlight and the wiring was so tightly packed that it disconnected the splice to the clutch safety switch.
Now that was an easy fix.
