Please Help - Gauge Indicators always on
So, I did the F3 to F4i gauge swap, and everything is working well except for one thing.
The turn signal and high beam indicators on the gauge will never shut off unless the bike is off. They just stay solid no matter which turn signal is on, or which position the headlight is in. It is otherwise fully functional and rideable, and this is just getting annoying.
The headlight and turn signals themselves work perfectly.
I have tried several different wiring possibilities, and nothing changes things. I did find that the black/brown wire makes the tach, speedo, and indicator lights all power up. If I disconnect the black/brown wire, then the turn signals and high beam indicators work normally, but the tach and speedometer, FI, Neutral indicator, etc. obviously won't work.
I'm starting to suspect a problem within the gauges.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please help!
Thanks, guys!

if you are careful you can drill it
with a reverse bit drill
and sink a screw into it and screw it out
or just make an inline with the rad hose like many people do
that broken piece wont hurt anything

I bought easy out yesterday, I built up the sensor a little with JB weld, once it dries up I'll drill in the easy out and see what happens.
What do you mean inline with rad hose
