Turn signal staying on
My left turn signal would stick on when I first got the bike, after messing with the switch and spraying some contact cleaner in the switch I thought I fixed it. Then today it randomly stayed on and I could not get it to shut off. It doesn't blink, just stays on as a solid light. Even when I remove the turn signal relay. What could be the problem?Tags: None

What bike do you have? Some have a Self canceling turn signal setup.
One light staying lit on my bike means that a bulb is blown.

It's an 80' GS1000G. I know that it generally means a bulb is blown, but even when the switch was turned off the signal stayed on. I just tried to take apart the switch and it came apart in a million tiny pieces. And now I don't know what the f*** I'm gonna do.

Do not despair.
Did the switch crumble or what?
Its supper time ina lot of places there will be an expert in electrics or that model along shortly.

I think I may have dropped and lost 1 or 2 very small balls that almost looked like ball bearings. The light is still staying on even after the switch is disassembled. I don't know if anyone could help me put it back together just through the forum, but maybe someone could at least help me with the wire colors so I can put on a universal switch...as much as I don't want to

Wow. Found the problem to be some chewed up wires, all I had to do was wiggle them and the signal shut off. So basically I destroyed the signal switch for no reason and have no idea where to get one.
