hey guys i have a 2013 sportster iron need help badly, changed handlebars to clipons pinched the left hand indicator cables purple and orange ones (ones goining to the left turn signal button) blew the fuse that was appropriate for that and the indicator still does not work even with the the wirs connected back together ect! Right works and hazards just the front left and back left will not flash at all on (left signal) on (hazard) and when alarm activates

can some one help me out please

Starting with the obvious - have you checked the globe? Swapping the front globes will test it out for sure. I realise the rears are the combined LED units, so no globe swapping there...TC

Yeah I checked all that they have been replaced with new tail light ect it's all worked until I pinched the wired then shorted it when I pressed the button

Try disconnecting the battery for a while and see if that works.

Tried that no go! It's got me stumped

Are you saying it doesn't flash at all - even on alarm/hazards etc? Or it just doesn't flash when the turn signal is on, but does everything else fine?

If it doesn't flash at all chances are the wires have broken elsewhere. I'd stick a multimeter on and do a beep test from the bulb contact to a point way back from where the wire crimped - preferably at the next connector beyond the part where it broke/crimped.

Where are you located dude?

Doesn't turn on at all with any of the settings but the button still works as in if you hold both down to turn hazards it you can tell the hazards are on even though the right is only flashing because you have to turn it off by holding both down so where would the break be it's confusing!

I'm located in Melbourne!

Like I said, get a multimeter and turn it onto the setting that beeps when you touch the probes (the metal part of the "sticks" together. Put one probe at one end of the wire near the blinker, then trace the wire back and stick the second probe on the next connector along. If it beeps it's probably okay, if it don't, it probably has a break somewhere - just make sure you test one wire at a time and there's no circuit boards or whatnot in between.

 

And while you're at it check the wires are still connected properly to either end.  If its crimped enough to cause a break it can also break at whatever its connected to.

Thanks it's just I know basic wiring and what's involved just not the best at especially these fuel injected bikes lol too many computers ect! It's just weird that the it was working until I cut those two wires fixed it changed the fuse and it doesn't work! It would be strange it something else broke at the exact same time !
