Hi all,
Recently while riding my my turn signals died out of the blue. I went home and found that the problem actually included the horn and the tail, indicator, and turn signal lights. I blew the fuse on that circuit. When I replaced the fuse I found that the problem occurs when the front or rear brake are applied. By disconnecting the tail light I determined that the problem was not with the brake light circuit, but with the brake sensors themselves. I have looked at the schematic and can't determine what could be causing the fuse to blow every time the brakes are applied. It's a simple open/close switch circuit so there isn't a whole lot of room for error. I suppose it is likely grounding out before the light, causing a short, but I don't know where that could be occurring to affect both sensors. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Allan
