Turn signals not working 2005 Yamaha V Star Classic 650

SOURCE: how to lower the idle on a 2002 yamaha 650 v-star classic?

under the left side of the gas tank you will see i black knob/screw at the end of what looks like a hose. the knob faces the rear of bike. that adjusts the idle. its real easy to find and the only adjustment you can make to the carbs.

SOURCE: my 2007 yamaha v star 650 keeps blowing the fuse

There seem to a 'live' wire (in the turn signal, brake light or horn circuit) touching the frame of the bike and thus the fuse blowing.
You will have to trace out the short-circuit.
You can start wth removing the connections to the turn signals thn fit the fuse and see if it still blows ....like wise remove the wire to the brake light and thn check if the fuse blows, same to the horn.
In short ..you can remove all the wires connections to these and thn fit the fuse and refit the wiring connections one by one ,where the fuse will blow after connecting the wire to say brake light thn the problem is at the brake light wiring ....likewise to the others ...onces you identify the circuit tht has the problem thn it will be easy to trace it and rectify it.
Hope this helps!

You either have a bad horn or a bad horn button. Unplug the wires to the horn and apply 12 volt current directly to the horn. If it works the button is bad. If it does not work try dropping it on the floor and test again. Next fiddle with the adjusting screw on the back with power applied. When you get frustrated enough with it you will break down and buy a new one (most cycle horns are junk and die from internal corrosion).
If you suspect the button turn the bike on and using a volt meter , test the two wires that plug into the horn to see if pushing the horn button makes the needle on the tester jump.
Sell the bike "as is" , tell the seller about the horn, and if they make a fuss knock $20 off the price of the bike. A new OEM horn would probably cost $50. A cheap aftermarket about$10.
