Pictures, and whats the problem with headlight and turn signals..?
RIDESAN08 - Electrical Gremlins or Damage for the lights?
No damage. All other electrical functions work perfectly, but sometimes both turn signals flash when only one should, and the headlight is out (brake light, too. But the brakes always work, as does everything mechanical).. A little later, while riding along, all lights are working fine. Shop is mystified. Battery and both fob batteries have just been replaced. I've had this bike since 2013, when I first joined COG. Now, I'm asking below "market value" because of the intermittent problem.
Sounds as if you have a ground block (joint connector) that is corroded. There have been a few rare cases of this & mine being one of them. Easy fix once found found & no parts required. There is a thread on here somewhere with pictures & detailed descriptions.
Good luck!
That could very well be it! I would love to know more about how you solved your own problem, and where to find the thread with pictures. Thank you very much.
Just Cliff-
I have removed the left side covers. I am hopeful that cleaning up those connectors will clear things up.
I tried to locate your original post (with the 3 photos), but I can't find it now. Please tell me where I should be looking.
Put in headlight out in search bar, one thread titled No headlight turn signal on & another titled 09 C14 electrical issue should show up. They have all the details.
Here are some pictures. You can feel square lumps in harness wrapping near air filter access, cut wrapping open & pull out blocks. I cut the block out & soldered then a wire nut.

Thank you for those photos. I have opened up the 4 blocks that are furthest forward, but I don't see any corrosion. I will look in the last 3. I just can't seem to find the threads you have posted.. I don't know how to search this site. Peter
