Wiring in turn signal blinker relay
Okay, I have been slowly working my way through the spiders nest of bad wiring. Got brakelight, tail-light and plate light to all work fine. Now I have the original turn signal blinker and a wiring diagram but am stumped in that I cannot figure out how to wire it up. The back of the blinker has three posts, each labeled. One is L, then C, finally B. I am trying to figure out which terminal matches the diagram. Any suggestions? Thanks.1984 GS1150ES (finally arrived, more to come...)

How can I be in two places at once when i'm not anywhere at all?
Can I double park in a parallel universe?Tags: None

L is for "Load".
B is for "Battery".
C is for "Controller".
The B will connect to the supply wire from the fusebox, probably an orange wire with a green stripe.
The L will go to the turn signal switch, it is probably a light blue wire.
The C will go to the Turn Signal Control Unit, it might be a black wire with a blue stripe.
You can NOT go to Auto Zone or any other auto parts place and get a flasher that will plug directly in and maintain your self-cancelling turn signals. The "C" terminal is not found on ANY other flasher unit than one for a Suzuki. Not sure if it's unique to the GS line, I have not worked on anything newer than a GS. There are ways to bypass the self-cancelling unit which will require you to turn off your signals manually, but save that for a last resort. Use the auto feature, if it still works.

Thank you. The blinker I got is OEM and tested so I don't figure on any problem. Your insight is greatly appreciated, and I am trying to bting her back to as close to stock as possible.1984 GS1150ES (finally arrived, more to come...)
