Help! No neutral light/Tachometer/turn signals/brake

Hi Guys,

I was riding home from work.. stopped to get a few things at the auto parts store and went to leave for home and noticed when I started the bike back up the tach wasn't working, I had no brake light (it's on, but not affected by either brake) no turn signals, and no neutral indicator.  I'm assuming this is a simple fuse.  The speedo worked fine and the gauges were still illuminated.  I'm sure someone here has the answer as to what fuse I need to replace and where it is?  (Or do I need a new set of gauges?)

Thanks!

Josh

The speedo will not be affected by electrical issues, mechanical only. The rest sounds like a broken wire, circuit, fuse, etc...
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Fuses are easy to check.  Pop the seat off and they're in a little holder near the battery.  Pull em and see what you find.

unless you have an 1100 then the fuses are hiding in the left fairing panel , under a cover
unless you ride bikes, I mean really ride bikes, then you just won't get it

Sounds like the classic sticky start switch.... was the headlight working?

It's an 1100 :) 

I reached under the left fairing and just touched the fusebox... bam.. worked great the rest of the night no problems.  Must have just been a loose connection.. maybe I'll look into it later, but it seems fine now :)

Thanks for the advice, though!

Not that i know alot about Fjs but if you have a loose wire and you just moved it and everything went back to work i would fix it now not later as it could leave you sitting on the sit of the rode !

if you can be bothered, the fuse holder on fj1100,s can be shifted from the fairing , no wires to cut, and mounted behind the left side cover, easier access  (popcorn)
