Not to toot my own horn, but...

Hi Mr. firecat,

Don't forget, there are wiring diagrams and manuals on my little BikeCliff website. I think there's something there that will help you sort this out.

Just recently, I used the my 850 manual to troubleshoot a bad turn signal relay. Then I used the wiring diagram to help wire in a much cheaper, generic, flasher unit. My flasher unit is under the right side cover. Check the cable routing pictures in your manual to find yours.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

it was the flasher, now a question. it has 3 prongs, the one i put on is a 2 prong and they work fine, why the third prong?
