Did you install the new bulbs?
Ahem... Sorry.... Could be a relay or fuse. You did install the new bulbs, right? |

So I replaced both bulbs with fingers crossed.... my luck nothing
I metered the turn signals and of course nothing I checked the fuses and they seem to be all fine. Any other ideas before it hits the shop? |

Back track what was done. If not, it sounds to me that you have a Bad Turn Indicator Module. I know on the MP3/250 and MP3/400 models it is on the Rider's Left Rear, above the Air Filter near the white Alarm Plug / Seat Actuator. Keith, Marietta, GA |

No new anything. I just like to check them every few weeks just to make sure. Headlight, taillights, brakelights, front turn signals everything else works fine. Under the seat at the back I can see a module of some sort and lots of wires. I will probably take it in and get it done I don't even know what a turn indicator module is tbh. I have a brakelight module under the seat so the brake lights and rear turn signals flash when braking but that's been on for years.
I will look again tomorrow. |

If the front turn signals work then the flasher module is working just fine.
You say you have a brakelight module - does that still flash the rear turn signals? That's not a standard fitment, so perhaps the wiring associated with that has gone wonky. |

Well I didn't install the brakelight module. When working the rear turn signals flash when braking. I will talk to the shop about that as well.

The fronts work fine. The rear are the only ones not working. I found out yesterday that the brakelight module was installed in 2009. Who knows but hopefully it won't cost me an arm and a leg lol.

Possibly I hope that is all that is the problem. That would make me happy lol. Don't want it to be a big issue that costs big $.

I have it in my watch list to buy, but I think you should get it. I was going to buy it for a spare part. http://www.ebay.com/itm/331961705165 Says Free Shipping... You can see the wattage limitations printed on the module. Keith, Marietta, GA |

Ok finally fixed.
