So my bike is blowing the 10amp fuse that runs the blinkers and gauge cluster. I think my issue may be a bulb shorting out in the gauge cluster for the high beam, just wondering if anyone has seen this issue before? Bike was fine when the high beam indicator wasn't working, then it started working yesterday and today that fuse shorts out when turning on key. I hate electrical gremlins!

 

Haven't seen it on a bike yet, but I've done that in my truck all the time when installing new lights - usually its a bad ground that draws way too much to fast. Maybe the ground on the indicator? Just a WAG that might help.

 

Thanks for the reply. Im hoping thats the case, going to tear it apart this wkend. FYI - a new guage cluster retails for ~$700...ridiculous.

 

Follow up...it wasnt the gauge cluster. One of the front blinker connections insternal retaining clips was broken causing the connection to come just loosed enough to cause the fuse to blow!

 

I am having the same guage problem Its a 2006 cbr 600 and everythings works perfect all blinker and all. Only thing is on the guage cluster the right turn signal will not blink to show me the blinkers are on even though the blinkers work.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM PLEASE HELP

 

Sounds like you need to replace the bulb for the blinker inside the gauge cluster.

 

had an issue similar on my F4i last year. my friend helped, well.... did all the work really, since i am a electrical idiot.
but tested everything and went through a bunch of fuses to figure out the the front left turn signal bulb was faulty, and drawing way to much to fast.
not sure what the problem was, but it was strange.
i had some custom flushmounts on it that i got from ebay, and couldnt find a matching bulb, so ended up just getting rid of the front turn signals and it worked fine ever since.

 

thanks for the suggestions. I dont think it would be a bulb. The 2006 has an lcd screen. Are there bulbs to it. Also i herd it is hard to take the main guage off to get it tested somewhere. Is this true its hard to take the guage off. Could be my wiring but i wouldnt no where to start. I am an electrical idiot also.
