What would cause this problem???

    I recentley just changed my rear guard and in the process rewired my rear turn signals.  Before wiring them up i put a test light on them just to make sure i knew which was right and left - at this point they all worked fine.  When i finished fiting the guard i tried my turn signals and ive got nothing!! - Not even the front ones are working.  I've used a test light all the way back to the badlands eqilizer and there is no power.

    Now at this point i assumed i had blown a fuse or something - but my bike doesn't have any fuses.... Its a 95 Fatboy.  What should i be checking???  What do i have instead of fuses?

    Any help would be great.

     

    Thanks.

    Thanks wozza. I'll check the relay tomorrow. Do you think the earth would be affected seeming that they earth when fitted (through the bolts). The guard has just been painted. Would that affect the earth?

    Well 4 hours later and i've found the problem.  The postive wires had rubbed through on the mounting bolts causing the turn signals to earth out.

    I gotta tell you I HATE electrical problems ARGGGGGG!!!!  

     

    All good now though.  Thanks for your help boys..
