Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Blowing fuse - using left turn signal

Hi all,

The other day I got out of work and when I went to make a left hand turn, I noticed the left turn signal wasn't working. By the time I got home, both weren't working. I changed the fuse and left signal is still not working, right is though. If I put the left signal on, the fuse blows. Any suggestions?

Lots of right turns. (sorry I had to)

Start with te easiest and pop both bulbs from the left signals. If you don't have a shorted bulb, check the wiring over carecully, especially where it passes through the signal light and headlight housings. Last thing to check, undo the switch housing and see if the fuse still blows when you hold the housing away from the handlebars. If not, the switch may have a short or the wires may be pinched where they go into the switch housing.
