Argggh, what else will go wrong

[Postie]

yeah, but the key thing here - is that they worked before you touched it..

correction bug sperm, it worked before WE touched it......

[bugjuice]

we? pfft.. you're the one pullin it all out

Only when you're not doing brake shit BJ. You're just entertaining then, well worth the trip up.

[bugjuice]

lol... no idea what you're on about bro..

OK, here's the wiring diagram for a CBR400 .

If neither side works, problem has to be on the common side of the switch (unless it's wierd like a BMW).

Diagram shows three wires into relay unit. One (black/brown I think) looks like feed from the ignition (THROUGH A FUSE !.).

Use some sort of continuity tester (voltmeter if you can, or a bulb on a couple of wires). Check for current between that wire and earth (make sure it really is earth, not all metal bits on modern bikes are earthy) . If no current there (ignition switch on remember), it's either a fuse (!!) or wiring to the fuse unit (very unlikely)

Did I mention to check the fuse ?

If you've got current there, the other wire is green I think, looks like common earth. Check for current across the (now known good) black/brown, and the green. If that's OK your earth is prolly OK. So must be the gray wire to the switch unit. Or the switch. Or the fuse. Or 4 blown bulbs.

Check and inspect each of them (to test the wire from flasher unit to switch, just connect another known good bit of wire from unit to switch - or, better from unit to one side of switch output). Has to be one of those . If they are all good, it's the flasher unit, but unlikely if you've tried two replacements.

M'self, I'd check the fuse again.

Well there was that time you were struggling with the brake pads on your bike, and I'd well and truly finished the ones on my side.

There is the tale about the brakes on the other ZX6

Then there's your first attempt at doing the pads on your car.

Then there was the struggle you had on Saturday afternoon with the brakes on the car, while I watched amused.

Let me know next time you're doing anything brake related, I'll make the trip up just for a lauf.



Postie: Like Ixion said, check the fuse. Use a test light to do it
