Default I need help!!

Okay, so this might be a very easy question, but I don't know what the heck is going on. I recently replaced the front turn signals with flush mounts... I did all the wiring correctly, and it worked for about an hour. Then all of a sudden, my speedometer, tachometer, and odometer all quit working at the same time while I was riding. What happened and what can I do to fix this? I read the manual for help on lighting and whatnot but I'm getting frustrated I can't seem to find the problem.

HELP!

More than likely a blown fuse. Should be an easy fix.

the problem could be unrelated(to turn signal swap)-which fuse??
-get another or more fuses-unplug the turn signals,then retry

Sounds like there is a short somewhere. That is probably the reason for the fuses blowing. Make sure there are no wires touching where they are not suppose to be.

Your turn signal indicators are also connected to the same fuse. I would try it with the signals completely disconnected and see if the fuse still blows. If it doesn't, then you have norrowed it down to the problem. Make sure nothing got pinched, or some how is gorunded out on somethig. If they are after market signals take them apart and make sure they are wired like you think. Some of these after market signals are made rather cheaply and consistency isn't what you should expect.

Solder and heat shrink tubing is the best way to do it. I hate the electrical tape. It gets wet and sun hits it and gets crappy and falls off. Solder and heat shrink... only way to go.
