Turn signal problem / right side

[ATX 850]

I found a problem with my right turn signal after putting my bike back together after rebuilding a "barn" bike that was laid down. I pulled the front right turn signal a long time ago and only recently replaced it. Disclaimer: no shop manual and I didn't mark the wires. Doh!

Now, I can't get the front right to light / blink. The right rear lights up but does not blink.

I traced the left front and found the solid black and black w/ white stripe.

But where do the right side wires go? I don't see an extra similar black / stripe pair for the right. Any ideas?

Thanks

Turn signal problem / right side

Sorry about that. 1983 GS 850G. Finally running.

I am looking at the wiring diagram in the owner's manual on line (thanks Cliff), but can't make out the letters when blown up.

one wire goes into the stud and powers the light. The other wire is a ground that has a loop connector that goes around the stud and is grounded there. I had the same problem and my loop was not grounding well. In my case, the front would come on and not blink. The rear would not come on at all. Once it was grounded they both came on and would blink. It was occcuring on the right directionals. hope this helps.

I can't read it either. I'll look at my diag when I get home around 3:00pm.

Thanks. I think it might be Light green.

Regardless, I need to go back and check the ground on the rear as well. Might have missed something when I relocated the "less broken" light to the front.

I just checked, light Green it is...

Thanks again. Might also try some new bulbs just in case I am over thinking this.....

put a test light or a vom on the lt green and connect the other lead to a good ground. it should show voltage. then check the resistance across the two leads of the turn signal.
those two measurements should tell you all you need to know.
