    My right hand side indicators after a drop stopped working, then changed the battery over and tested and they started working fine. Although mid ride I noticed that they had stopped working

    No lights flashing on the dash board to say that its doing anything and no flashing at front or rear indicator.

    I also find that if I put left signal on then over to right signal without pushing in to cancel it AUTO cancels itself so the diode is working...

    Any ideas to check? I've checked the wiring and all seems to be fine and plugged in correctly and tightly.

    Stumped and frustrated, any ideas?

    Bike is a Yamaha Thundercat, thanks in advice

    Dodgy indicator switch is where I'd start.

    The switch works fine as it cancels the left turn when I flick it over to the right. So the connection is being made at the switch.. I think thats right anyway.

    The relay, would that not be a case of working or not working applying to both left and right indicators? If not any idea what im looking for ? Not sure what the indicator relay will look like or where!

    Still say you need to test the switch.

    You need to disconnect it and do a continuity test.

    Daft question, but does the bulb work - swap it over to another position - and is it seated correctly?
