Suzuki 2 Strokes

Just checking through all the lights, everything works except the right front turn signal. I verified that the bulb is good and I am getting almost 12 volts across the contacts with the bulb out so I can't figure out why its not lighting up. The relay appears to be working fine as the left side works perfectly. When I switch over to the right, the right rear lights up permanently indicating the problem with the right front. I'm no electrical engineer, and I think I have checked all the obvious but this one has me baffled!
As always, I eagerly await your helpful input.

When you checked the bulb, did it light up?

New bulb.

If you connect the left side front indicators wire to the right side socket and it works with the right rear one its obviously the wiring or the bulb in that right front indicator.

You mentioned getting 12v to the problem front indicator. Where is that power coming from ie is it pulsed from the relay or full on 12v from a connection to the wrong circuit?

Power goes to the flasher relay first IIRC and from there to the left bar switch and then on to the pair of indicators on each side plus the "idiot light." How is yours wired?

I had a similar problem.mine was the earth wire in the indicator not connecting.

Alanr...thanks! Indeed it was a bad ground. Problem solved.

90% of all electrical faults are a bad ground or a poor connection! Good to hear it was something simple!
Cliff!

Yep, those bad grounds will get you every time.
