Thanks! 06/27/08 at 20:53:24 Does anyone know what the right part number is to get one from Advance Auto? I know I can get one from RonAyers.com but they want more than 30 bucks for it where you can get them from AA for about 3 bucks. Anybody know the part number for it?

I don't remember seeing one like that but I will definitely go back and look. What connectors are you supposed to use? Never mind I'll figure that out when I get the relay. Thanks a bunch.

I checked it out before I saw your reply about the prongs being L shaped so I can't remember if they were or not. Is that the one you are referring to or was it one of the square black ones?

Yep, checked it and it was clean. The solder points all seemed very solid. I'm starting to wonder if it just the wiring in general, like maybe I need a new harness or . . . . . something.
Although it seems like it is only the turn signal thing that isn't working. I had to replace my rear turn signals because they were gone (Bike was pretty beat up when I bought it, still gathering parts to put it back together).
Unfortunately, I got front signals for the back (missed that little detail in the Ebay description). They have three wires instead of two (I'm assuming because the front signals are running lights?). Would that make a difference? I just didn't connect the gray wire to anything.

Posts: 34 South Jersey Gender:	Re: Turn signal relay question Reply #10 - 07/02/08 at 19:22:40 I got it to work! for about 5 seconds. . . The right front and right rear signal worked and the front left worked but the left rear never came on. Then they stopped working. So bad wiring somewhere? Sheesh. . .

I haven't had to monkey with my wiring yet, except to install a cigarette lighter socket. However, it shouldn't be too complicated. In your position, I would put a current tester on where the flasher goes. Then I would do the same at the switch. Then I would puzzle out what's going on depending on where there is power and where there isn't.

All your other lights work? It's not just a blown fuse, right?

The good news is: There is a very distinct point A and point B. Just gotta find where the juice stops flowing between the two. My '97 Chevy is a wiring nightmare. I haven't had consistent lights on it for... ever.

Just keep digging. With all the crap around you, there has to be a pony nearby somewhere. Wink

If you've check the light blubs to be good, then next step should be make sure you have good grounds. Then make sure fuse is good.

Reply #13 - 07/06/08 at 14:16:08 Thanks to everybody that responded but especially to Demin for the cheap relay part. You probably saved me 40 bucks. Thanks you guys. All lights are working perfectly now. Had to redo all the turn signal connectors but it works fine now. WooHoo!
