Hi All,
I'm pretty inexperienced with repairing electrical issues. I was wondering if anyone could please give me some tips on this one.
I have a 2001 XL1200S. Recently the right blinker flutters on and off, when the blinker is not activated. So the front right yellow light gets brighter off and on, and at the exact same time, the rear blinker goes on as well. Also, at the same exact time, the right turn signal indicator flickers. Often it won't do this until I rev the engine to about 2000rpm - so in a sense, it's intermittent.
Although I don't know too much about electrical repairs, I'm sure it's safe to say that the bulbs are all fine. I'm guessing that there is some kind of short or cross somewhere. I looked at the manual's electrical diagram and it appears that it's a brown wire that applies to the turn signal lamps. But I don't really know how to start going about the troubleshooting.
Thanks!
