Lets try this again

[irishluck]

I hooked up a new handlebar switch up to my bike with new front turn signals, the front turn signals are dual filament OE replacements.

Before i hooked this up i had my original handlebar switch hooked up with the the stock turn signals, which are also dual filament!

When i had the new switch hookup up with the new signals, the front lights would come on, but they would not blink when i turned on the blinker.

So i decided to put the old switch back on with the old signals again and still no blinking when turned on, lights come on how there suppose to but when i turned the switch on but would not blink.

They worked fine before i switched them out with the new switch and signals.

SO my theory is the flasher relay, cause if the old or new switch wont get the blinkers to blink with the old turn signals when they use to work just fine, then im going with that relay. whatcha all think

I think you wired the signals wrong.

I think you wired the signals(or the switch) wrong.

KOokaloo!

I think you wired the signals wrong.

but the thing is, i hooked the stock signals right back up to how they were before, when it worked fine before, and it still doesnt work...

Add my +1 too.

The turn signal lights are all single filament lamps.
Look at the socket - there is only ONE contact in the center.

No offense but i 100% disagree with that. mine has 2 contact points, and i have 3 wires coming from the wiring harness to my stock front turn signals. ill get a pic tonight of them.

I know 3 wires means dual filament, 2 wires is single.

And the bulbs them selves i can tell are dual filament. The wiring harness has 3 wires not 2

Also i couldnt have wired the new handlebar switch up wrong if the old one is back on exactly the same way it came off, no mods done to it, and its still not working

Just because your late model wiring harness has 3 wires for dual filament bulbs, DOES NOT mean that dual filament bulbs are supported by your early flasher relay.

Remember you have a 2 wire flasher relay.....Wire it correctly for a 2 wire flasher circuit and put in single filament bulbs and see what happens.

I'm outta here...

Not talking euro FJs or any of the 1100s all the U.S. FJ1200s be it 86/93 had two fillment bulbs up front.  Running lights and turm signals combined. As for the wireing, black ground/ Blue/Red trace running lights/ Brown left turn signal and Dark Green for the right.

If you don't want to use the running lights snip and cap the Blue/ Red trace wires.

All the years ran a single filliment bulb in the rear.

Thank you!

And on top of that the dual filament bulbs up front worked perfectly fine before, it alway worked every time i tried it until i swapped the handle bar switch,
I do want to use the dual filament thats why there still there.


Like i said before, i have a feeling its the flasher relay and im pretty positive it is.
THe wiring on the bike shows 3 wires for the front turn signals.

Pat: the early model flasher relay wouldnt work in a later model wiring harness, there all very different from each other, so the flasher i have with this harness is the correct one and the harness is made for dual filament bulbs, like i said before, im going with the flasher relay being bad

So, then... why in the 2-3 days you've been arguing about this did you not get one, install it, and prove them all wrong??

if you can find one for me then let me know, cause ive been looking, cant even find one on ebay

and also the original post was asking if anyone knew a way to test the flasher relay

why wouldn't it be the 1100's?

Since he didn't offer what year we are talking about in the original post.....I naturally thought he was talking about the best years.

i know i mentioned it somewhere in the previous thread before everyone bashed it so i made a new one.

Its an 87 fj1200 on a 91 fj1200 frame but in the haynes manual i have, the 87 fj1200 wiring diagram has 2 wires for the front turn signals, but on the 89-90 fj1200 on the wiring diagram it shows 3 like mine, idk what thats all about.

Because it sounds like he is going to need more than one.

The 2 wire front blinkers are the euro 1200s. Clymers& Haynes manules are as fucked up as hoagens goat when it comes to the wireing diagrams  

And by the way what harness are you running, the  87 or the 91? They are different.
