My turn signals don't seem to be working, I keep having head lights blown out, and have several batteries eaten. I think it could be the stator or the voltage regulator. Ideas?

Sounds as if the bulbs are bad, but could also be a failed multi-purpose switch.

Hi, try to check cables in a front light due to wearing out of a isolation. My case. Take care, Tom

I don't think that there is a fuse for one turn signal light, if the fuse for the turn signal lights was blown no turn signal lights would work, your problem is most likely a blown bulb or a loose wire, check the wiring & the bulb......hope this helps......cheers.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

As a first course of action, please check the bulbs for it can be blown. If the bulbs are good then it can be just a blown fuse for the tail light.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one

or any of several reasons:

• You accidentally left the lights on or some other accessory that pulls power from the battery even when the ignition key is off.
• The battery is not being recharged while the vehicle is being driven (you have a charging problem)
• There is a key off parasitic electrical drain on the battery because a relay is sticking, a module is not shutting down, or there is a shorted diode in the alternator.
• Your battery is old and will not hold a charge anymore. The battery needs to be replaced.

honestly I am also stumped I would say try to rewire the system but with a new harness and try turn on the headlights after you have the old harness off and use a volt meter on the battery then the ignition wire and see what it reads. that's all i can think of besides trying a new deck. But honestly this is the first time I have ever heard of this problem and thats all i can think of.

If the battery is good and able to hold a charge, then your problem is in the charging system. If the stator and wiring check out, then the regulator/rectifier is bad.

sounds like you poped a fuse have you pulled them to check them all out,,, you may have a main fuse blown

I definately would think it is something within the charging system. Here is a few tests you can run. First with the bike off take a multimeter in VDC check the battery voltage at the battery. (should be at 12.5 VDC) If not first charge the battery. Second start the bike, with it running and multimeter again in VDC check voltage at the battery while slowly opening the throttle(should see between 13.2 and 14.5 VDC at the battery) If you have more then 15 VDC then you have a bad voltage regulator. If you have less then battery voltage from the first test. You may have a bad stator and/or a bad voltage regulator. Third test with bike turned off and multimeter in continuity. Place one meter lead into either of the two holes for your stator lead(coming out of the front of the primary drive case) the other meter lead to any good ground. If you get a tone or continuity then you have a grounded stator, and it has to be replaced before proceding any further with charging system tests. If you do NOT have continuity then check the wires from the voltage regulator running back to the battery for any breaks or chaffing, if none are found. I would have the battery load tested as well. It also sounds like you could have a short in the turn signal wiring, maybe check the wiring inside the rear fender for chaffing as well. I personally think you'll find its an issue with the charging system itself though. Good luck and please let me know what you find out.

First thing to do is charge the battery and do a load test on it. Use a charger rated for motorcycle batterys not a battery tender. Once the battery is charged and tested, you need to test the stator. On the right front down tube at the bottom you will find the plug that goes from the stator to the voltage regulator. I forget the values that you are looking for but with a multi meter and the bike running take a reading at the plug the voltage should climb when you rev the engine. If you do not get any reading or if the voltage dosen't climb you have a bad stator. If the battery and stator are good it will be your voltage regulator.
