Right turn signal relay

[Slyder_Steve]

Greetings to the board!

 

I'm a bit away from home on the RT and have hit some rain--okay...LOTS of rain. Problem is my right turn signal is continuously on and I can't reset it. I'm guessing water in the switch, but for ease I just want to pull the signal relay until I get home. Anyone know which one it is?

 

Thanks for any help,

It's probably annoying to the other riders in your group. You should fix it and spare your friends.

[Slyder_Steve]

Yeah...thanks for the insight Edgar.

 

If anyone else goes through this, the expedient fix is to pull the flasher unit. I'll work on the switch when I get home. For the moment, at least I don't have the right turn signal constantly on

A tad late in posting this, but it ended up being the multi-function switch. ~$230 bucks for the part, but an easy swap.

FWIW, I've been having the opposite problem. The right signal will not go on.

 

My solution has been to spray the hell out of it with Electrical Contact Cleaner. Works for a few months, then doesn't: spray, repeat....

 

It's a simple grounding switch. The turn signal relay interprets a ground pulse and starts the blinking, or in your case, sees a constant ground.

 

Too cheap to buy a new combi-switch. Yet.

I just want to pull the signal relay until I get home.

There is no "relay" specific to one side or the other. There is a common flasher unit for both sides. This is the largest relay looking item in your fuse box, furthest to the right (as you sit on the bike).

 

But as mentioned, this type of issue is most off in the switch itself. Although a failure of the flasher module is not unheard of.

Ken,

It was the switch, but I pulled the relay to get me home.

 

All good to go now.
