Default CBR600rr blinker help PLEASE-I need to ride

I have a 04 600rr that I am trying to put intergrated tail light and flush mounts in the front. I have the tail light in and got the front blinkers in and the tail light running light works and so does the right blinker, but when I push the blinker button to the left I get nothing. The left blinker light on my gauge cluster does not even come on. I have checked the fuses on the left side by the engine with the tail light, blinkers, headlight, etc. fuses and there all fine. I was just woundering if anyone else has had this problem or if anyone knows how to fix it. This is the last good warm weather were going to have and I would like to ride. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dave

You probably have a negative where a positive should be. Try swapping the front signals wires around. If that doesnt do it, put them back and swap the rear.

Yep wired wrong, the flasher won't flash unless it's hooked to a load (bulb or LED)

Any other ideas guys? I tried switching the wires around and all I got when I pushed the LEFT signal button is the RIGHT intergrated tail light blinker flashed and the front right flush mount didn't do anything. If anyone might know what the hell is going on please let me no. I will keep you posted as soon as I figure something out. Thanks Dave

Dave, you most certainly have a wiring problem. Start from square one.

OEM, the front blinkers should have 3 wires. Neg/Ground & +12v(running light) & +12v(signal flasher). Now most aftermarket signals do not incorporate a running light, therefore, upfront you will only need 2 wires, Neg/Ground & +12v(signal flasher). You can differentiate the two +12v wires by either looking at an electrical diagragm for your bike or finding the wire that is solid 12v which would be the running light wire that you don't need.

Is there a blinker relay and a fuse? I know where the fuse is but I don't know where the relay is. I still only have the right side blinkers and the left side doesn't even flash on the gauge cluster.Thanks for the help guys

I got it all working guys, turns out one of the wires that went to the clip from my tail light was loose so the bike was not getting a full curcuit. Thanks for all the help
