Happy to report that I am back on the road with turn signals, flashers, rear lights and brake lights. Thanks again for all your support and help. When I lost my turn signals, I immediately checked the rest of my lights and found that my brake light and rear lights were gone also. I then made the...

In this town you cant even get a donut for a dollar anymore, so its not a fair bet… Actually I had that same thought when I initially found the stripped screw. Then I thought that i’ve had the bike for more than six years and it’s been fine, so the issue (turns out issues) probably stands on its...

I used a screw extractor to finally remove the last stripped allen screw that was holding the tailight assembly in place. I was never happier in my life to find a well blackened tailight bulb! Will try replacing the flasher module before finding a place to go for the turn signal exploration...

Monday morning, you guys all rock. Thank you very much for taking the time to think through this issue with and for me. Here’s where I am now. The last thing to check on the back of the bike is the light. I did disconnect the lead to the brake light to see if it affected the turn signals or...

Thanks for the question, horn works fine as does the headlight

Thanks for taking the time to talk to me about the measuring process and the meter settings. All new to me. So my rear harness seems to be functional. Not knowing what to do next, I did a little experimenting and want to know if you think this is relevant at all. I took all the fuses out and...

ok, here’s wht i’ve got so far. I have disconnected the brake harness. There are three patio housings, a blue one on the left, an orange one on the right, no white one below them in the center. The white is the brake light, the other 2 are the turn signals. When I look inside a housing, there...

Thanks for staying with this, really appreciate it. Special thanks for the specificity of how to go about using the volt / ohm meter. I will get a meter and get into the bike this weekend as much as I can and let you know the results. I should know by then whether to say yes to your generous...

Might this be a brown plastic box with a cluster of green wires that go into it, visible directly above (like 1/2”) the negative battery terminal? Thanks, Phil

OK, I checked the rear connectors, and they are all clean and tight. Also gently pushing, pulling, wiggling the connectors and wires has no effect. Thanks.

HI mzflorida, Thanks for your response. To clarify: I was imprecise. When I push in the HAZARD lights, the right one comes on and stays on. When I select either turn signal, nothing comes on, and the rear tailight and brake light also do not come on, though the headlight comes on. The turn...

Thanks for responding DTMWAP. I’ll try this tomorrow.

Thanks big bird. Gave the turn signal switch a good workout after spraying with contact cleaner. No cigar, and thanks for the suggestion.

Hi, 2013 NC700x, 13,000 miles, owned for 6 yrs., always covered, garaged in winter. While riding yesterday, I realized that my turn signals had stopped working, not lighting, not blinking. When I got home, I found that additionally my rear light and brake light are also not working. When I...
