TRX850 indicator

I've got a problem with my left front indicator. When the left is turned on,
the rear flashes faster that it should. I've checked the bulb and it's fine.
The indicator signal isn't making it to the front left bulb The right side
indicators work properly. How is the indicator wired up? The relay I found
only had two wires going into it.

thanks.

Hi Ho,
I would try swapping the rear lamps with other, and see what happens.
If you are just looking at the filament that can be a trap.

A relay would need 4 connections to be a relay, less depending on internal
bridging arrangements. 3 if the coil return and 1 switch contact are both
connected to one battery polarity connected to the frame earth, and the
metal relay case or terminal is bonded to the frame's metal surface.
This diagram is not a working indicator circuit, just a 2 terminal relay.

Eh?
Obviously your FRONT left bulb is blown. (or the wire is dicky).
The rear is working as it should.

 

Yer bulbs blown on the front, change it.

I'm sure someone will point out that you have a blown globe. Maybe Manning?

He's already been tricked into crossposting to aus.cars once... if anything,
he's got a transgression_credit._

And I programmed it with the dance version of Coldplay's "Clocks" 'n' all...
