Default Indicators and neutral lights slow

Hi my indicators are delayed about 2 seconds mainly in the cold and now the nuetral light sometimes fails to come on. Mechanic seems to think it will be the switches but i know how they like to just replace everything with new. He mentioned spraying some contact solution on them to try to clean them up but was reluctant to do this as he said they were sealed units and probably not much money in it for him. Any advice please thanks.

Not too sure what's up with your neutral light issues. But I am quite certain you just have a lot of gunk in your indicator switch. I had the same problem. I sprayed some WD-40 into it and that helped for a little while. During this winter's clean up I took apart the switch (very simple to do) and found quite a bit of grease and dirt in it. Cleaned that up and it's as good as new! give that a try.

I had a delay with my indicator switch not too long ago, I guess it must be the winter weather. I fixed it by spraying loads of electrical switch cleaner into the switch and flicking it left and right. It soon fixed the problem

Hi again, i still have a number of issues with my fireblade so i'm going to take it one at a time. Anyone else had problems with neutral not coming on all the time. It works sometimes but then stops. Please help.
