Re: indicators are fubar'd
A bit hard to tell Goldie, as the switch is an outside component it shouldn't really matter if it becomes wet as it should work in all weathers. The best bet is to start with the easy bit and check the bulbs/fuses first, then if possible follow the cable routes back, checking the connections as you go, cleaning and reconnecting. Failing this you might have to get it tested to find the fault, hope this helps.

Cheers. Will have a go tomorrow :)
Re: indicators are fubar'd
check the lenses are not full of water.
check the fuses.
assuming you have a naked hornet, check the headlight bowl isn't full of water.
check the negative terminal on the battery.
Re: indicators are fubar'd
If none of the indicators are working chick its less likely to be the bulbs and more often the fuse or flasher unit the fuse should be marked up and easy to find,hold it up to the light as it should be the mini blade type on your bike, you can see through them or into the top at the very least if its blown you will know,somewhere nearby the fusebox is a larger than most relay normally black or orange on a bike but thats not gospel its a sealed unit and as such water shouldnt get into it but the plug onto it may be full of water, take it out once youve scoured the internet for pics to find it, they normally push onto a metal prong and just need working off, leave it plug side downmost in the airing cupboard to dry overnight and refit it, you cant really test it anymore as they are usually electronic innards now, if you have a fellow honda rider try it in their bike if you indicators are still not working, failing that ride over here, (carefully) and Ill have a look for you x :P
