Title: Re: PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Post by Rocco on 06/29/09 at 11:18:38 i just talked to the guy @ cycle gear...he can order me a suzuki electronic one for 20 bucks...no splicing no soldering....since the one is the original on my bike (from '95) i'm pretty sure i won't have to replace it for a while..... just a ? is the requirement for some auto stores being able to spell the word "car" lol i'm just aggravated...my apologies to anyone on here who was or is a parts person.....i'm thinking u know how to wrench...or @least what one looks like!!! ;) |

Title: Re: PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Post by thumperclone on 06/29/09 at 12:54:56 what relay are you refering to? the the turn signals?? |

Title: Re: PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Post by Rocco on 06/29/09 at 18:41:05 yes the flasher relay, that is haunting me |

Title: Re: PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Post by BurnPgh on 06/30/09 at 00:33:21 dont even bother talking to the counter people or if you have to just say its for a car. Just look around with the fuses. Probably at the bottom of the rack. The package will say something like "12 V Thermal Turn Signal Relay" or " 12V Thermal Flasher Unit" or something like that. $3-4. Get the one with 2 prongs, not 3. Cut off the stock connector, strip both wires it was on and wrap one around each prong. Doesnt matter which wire wraps around which prong. Apply electrical tape as needed. Please dont spend $20 or more. Im begging you. |

Title: Re: PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Post by youzguyz on 06/30/09 at 02:51:05 You might even be able to find one that will plug right in. Take the old one with you for comparison purposes. |

Title: Re: PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Post by Rocco on 06/30/09 at 09:57:25 sweet! that'll work, they said the only ones they have are 30 bucks now not 20... so it'll hold with tape? or solder? my friend mentioned something about bull connectors? but i've been looking for one to plug in, i didn't even think of taking off those freaking little connectors! so a universal one will work?! awesome! now is vibration a problem if i jsut tape it? |

Title: Re: PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Post by Rocco on 06/30/09 at 13:06:58 ridiculous! that looks alot better then soldering! i assume u just find a set that'll work on the relay.....harbor freight away!!!!!!!!!!!! lol am i the only one who feels the need to buy everything in that store? here's how my logic goes "so what if i only need one, and may never use them again, it's a pack of 415 for 3 dollars!!" lol |
|
Title: Re: PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Post by Yonuh Adisi on 06/30/09 at 13:07:58 You can always use extra connectors, so buy away. LOL and yes, just get the size that well fit the connections on the relay. By the way, the color of the sleeve that goes around the wire indicates the wire gauge size it fits best on. Red is what is usually used on our bikes. |

Title: Re: PLEASE HELP!!!!!! Post by Rocco on 06/30/09 at 18:47:55 red it is!! wow, what don't u know? lol thank u for the advice, the best part of having a bike is having people to help u when stuff goes wrong! i really appreciate everybody! |
