Lets try this again

Dude.
Srsly.
When you see it, you're going to shit.

Theres got to be a ground now cause now i have multiple problems.

The blinkers wont blink, the horn don't work, and now my bike wont crank over!

All this just by getting a new battery, new left handlebar switch, and some new blinkers? that's just crazy!

and the weird thing is I decided to see if i could test the flasher relay and see if it was even getting any power while turned on, all the wires are getting like 10.2v.

Also when i hit the starter button on the bike, it doesnt crank over but what does happen is the red oil light lights up on my gauge cluster,


Is all of this connected?

OK irish, just run this past me again as i can't find it in your posts.
What year FJ have you got? What's the engine number and frame number?
Is it an 1100 or 1200?
What's the code on the igniter unit and the flasher relay?
I'm just trying to build a mental picture of your bike in the hope that we can diagnose your problem and get to the bottom of it.
I don't know whether i can help or not but i'm going to try.

Sounds like a bad/dead battery.  Check fluid levels, then battery voltage w/ign off.  I'd expect at least 12.4 V.  Fully charged s/b 12.6-13.2V.  If it's below 12.4. put it on a charger overnight.

dead battery..... its not unheard of for even a new battery to drop a cell.

if new did you have to put the acid in it and then charge it ?

Kookaloo!

[irishluck]

Battery is brand new yes, and fully charged, does have the acid in it and all and does show fully charged on a voltmeter. Cant give exact number right now cause I'm at work but id be kinda upset if it had a dead cell=(

FJ111200: going to try and answer the questions best I can here.

It is an 87 fj1200 but its on a 91 fj1200 frame, can give you numbers when I get home.
Code on igniter unit I'm not sure of.

The Flasher relay is the 41R-71

I just think this is so odd. Before i changed the handlebar switch and the front turn signals, it would at least crank, but then i got a new battery and now nothing. just the red oil light shows up if I hit the start button and the button is flipped to the RUN position.

Now this is a weird thing and idk if this is just my bike or all fj's but if one turn signal wasn't working on my bike, none of them would. Like they wouldn't blink at all. I wonder maybe since they are not working right now then maybe that's why it wont crank? but it still doesn't explain the horn issue.

[FJ111200]

You've not trapped, shorted or broken, one or both of the earth wires coming from the left hand switch have you?
They are the two black wires and connect to various components including the oil level light, the starter switch, the indicators, the horn, 

[irishluck]

not at all. or at least not that i know of. Cause i can still control the headlight with the new switch just fine.

The black wire coming from the switch looks to be fine

[irishluck]

I really want to get this stuff fixed this weekend. Need to fire it up and see if my worked paid off on that damn carb.

[Travis398]

making progress?

[irishluck]

making progress?

well I mean I wont be able to work on it till after work today. But I got the carb rebuilt to like perfection. but haven't got a chance to turn the bike on yet since I did that.


I mean besides these issues I'm having at this exact moment, all I have to do is get my new headlight frame and the right side footrest (which are both on the way) and new tires, and I'm done with the project!

I see a long, exasperating carb thread in our future...

[irishluck]

my carbs are fine now, I even bought parts from you and those are the only damaged parts i found in the carbs
