Can anyone confirm an error in Clymer's diagram for a 2008 re: left turn signals?
Cheers! 8-)

Might be handy to enlighten us to what you believe to error is and what page it is on so we don't have to try and decipher what you mean.

On my hotrod '08, changed to leds at the rear. fabricated a 'dashboard' attached to the front risers containing a tach and turn indicators and neutral light. Changed to a 'led' turn relay.
Everything works except the left signals and horn.
Someone posted a revised wiring diagram a couple years ago, and wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar problem before I tear into rewiring.
This time I'll start inside the headlight bucket.

Here is a corrected version:

Perhaps this is what you are referring to as posted a couple of years ago.

I'd start with the ground wire of the left signal and horn. While I've not looked specifically at those wires on the Savage, the horn and left blinker have common grounds based on the corrected wiring diagram.

I'm probably to blame for trying to put the indicators into a more easily readable position, but it worked for a year. Just installed an electronic flasher, right turn is now stable, left nada.
Diagram on p.356 only shows one indicator when there is both L and R.
Also, I'm changing to led turn signals front.
There is no model number on the bulb, anyone know?

ps: diagram shows a 'gray' wire to speedo light, no 'gray' wire on bike!
pps: what are the black rectangles all over the diagram?

stock bulb is either 1156 or 1157
black rectangles are connectors.

Thanks ! 1157 is the 2 filament w/running light!
Just had a thought: 5 months to sort it all out!

With turn indicators disconnected, everything is back to normal! (except the bloody horn!).
Back to the drawing board!
Electronic flasher works on both LED and standard bulbs!
