turn signal issue (I searched)
Hey guys... I am having a turn signal issue on my '94 900RR...
when I turn the turn signal on, the "turn" light on the gauge cluster does NOT light up and the turn signals do not work. I did some testing and messing around of my own but couldn't get anything to work and with the "turn" light not illuminating on the cluster, I think that might be the first place to start.

Just checked the wires on the right side of the bike because the other side is against the wall right now. checked the voltage on the blue wire and on the blue/white wire. First with just the key on, then the left turn signal and then the right turn signal.
---------------Blue -------- Blue/White
key on--------10.8v-----------11.3v
Left turn-------6.6v-----------11.3v
right turn------10.8v------------0v

right turn------10.8v------------0v

This might help..i hope. I tore mine down this winter and when I put it back together I had all kinds of problems withe the guage cluster and lights. When I put it back together I had crimped the harness to the cluster and dislodged the plug to my headlight. Check the fuses of course. Also check the switch on the grip to make sure it is not shorting out.

Make sure the connector is plugged in to the harness underneath the right-hand panel cover by the fuse box. My left-hand blinker stopped working once, and I literally tore apart the handlebar cluster and cleaned the crap out of it after going through each connector, front and rear ... only to find out that the connector to the harness was slightly out of contact.

OK, right now this is how I have it all setup.
As it is wired... the front running lights work but when I hit the turn signal, that side goes out and that is it... I checked the voltage of the two wires coming from the front LEDs. When it is running, they are at 10.2V and are dim as they should be for running lights. Then, when I hit the turn signal, it drops down to about 7.2V and they don't light up at all. It doesn't matter if I try the left or right signal, they drop to 7.2V either way.
Also, I unhooked the turn signal flasher and jumped the two wires on the plug. When I use the turn signal, they all four light up bright and stay on constantly until I turn the switch off. According to everything I have read online, that means it is a bad flasher. HOWEVER I have replaced the flasher with TWO brand new units and it still does the exact same thing!?!?!?
