Hey guys,I know someone will know the answer to this. My turn signals have decided to intermittently stop working. Its an all stock setup from an 04 Speedmaster. The signals will work fine for a while then all of a sudden (at the worst possible time) will cease to function at all (no left or right but headlight ,brake light ,horn all still work). Cleaned the switch and sill the same. I seems to happen most when the bike has been running for a while and warmed up. I am thinking flasher relay? I got a part number for a Volvo (I think)at should be a direct replacement(but a 1/4 of the price) Hella 4DB003750-70. can anyone confirm this?

Any relay with the prongs in the correct places and numbers relatively close has fixed my relay dilemmas in the past. I found a electronics store with suitable ones for $1.68. Hella is a good brand, though. My 04 Volvo has Hella relays throughout and nary a 'lectric problem since new.

You should be able to take the flasher to any big box auto parts outfit, NAPA or O'Reilly's for instance, and they can cross reference a generic replacement at a reasonable price.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

I guess i should have been more clear with my question. Getting the relay from autozone (or whatever store) is not the issue.I was just seeing if anyone could confirm the part number.
My question was, if anyone else has had this problem with their turn signals; was it the relay ,loose bulbs, dirty connection,bad ground etc? It seems the problem is worse when the engine is warm,is that a sign of a bad relay? Its a $15 relay so I guess is not a big deal if that's not the problem,but I don't want to waste my time.
