I did some more checking on the front turn signals. Seems the bulbs work when directly connected to the battery. Is it the kind of situation where the rear won’t flash if the front bulbs are not lighting?
Also, is there supposed to be a separate ground wire for the front turn signals or does it just ground through the clamp to the handlebar, in the same manner the rear grounds to the luggage rack?
The front turn signals are connected correctly, left signal grey to grey in the bucket, Grey to grey for the indicator light, pink to pink for the indicator light and grey to pink for the right turn signal light. There appears to be good connectivity from front to back because the indicator lamp up front lights up with either rear turn signal.
There was a significant amount of rust on the metal of the front bulb sockets. I tried cleaning them and even scraped the inner round portion of the bulb socket with a file. Sill no power to the front turn signals.
Does anyone think the front bulb sockets could just be too rusty to conduct current? I don’t know if that’s possible. If it is, can I change the bulb sockets with std 1156 bulb sockets? Thanks.
