    Dash lights on

    Ok I have 1982gs1100e and it sat for a short time and I went I trouble shoot a noise down under .When it started all the dash lights stayed on and would not go out oil pressure,kickstand light headlight out warning light and taillight out stayed on ,it runs, went over the harness as it was messed with by PO.
    The only thing is the wires out of the r/r were real hot to the touch would this if bad short out the dashlights?Thanks M

    No, I wouldn't think so.... The RR wires probably will get warm they are handling a lot of power. You likely have a break in a cable somewhere shorting them out. Perfectly possible as they can be quite brittle now..

    I would check around the neck of the frame as that's where there see most stress & get rubbed etc.
