Problem with lights

[Debs]

I have a problem with baby...

When the engine is running the dipped lights are off, the indicators are stuck on and the main beam dash light is lit..

When I got back home I cut the engine off but left the ignition on as though it was still running... I could hear a buzz from a relay under the near side panel... I have taken this off as was wondering if this is the problem and intend to get a new one... Before I waste my money, does any one else have any idea what the problem could be?

I thought it could be a bad earth from when I fitted the extra lights but they are not effected...

Im dreading a visit to BK as they charge £58 per hour labour..

Hi

It does sound like it could be an earth fault

Debs, check the relay

Its going to be dry on Saturday, so I will have to get it sorted then...

Debs, check the relay

OC, How do I check the relay is working?

This is the one.......

TBH, the quickest way is to replace it and see if it sorts the problem Debs

Debs, maybe its time to let 'Baby' go to the big workshop in the sky.

When you say indicators stuck on you mean just alight, no flashing?
All of them?
Is that the realy that was buzzing?

Have you been riding in the rain or had something happen to get the switches wet? Water seeping in past the flash-to-pass button has been known to cause some of these symptoms.

Yes they stay on, but not the extra LED ones I fitted dont, BUT they do flash when I select left or right on the switch..

Yes I did remove the one that was buzzing.. Are supposed to buzz?

Her's a pic of the relay.. It is 1 of 2.. The other is for the main beam.

Sometimes you just have to let them go!

If the 2 relays are the same, same part number, then you can swap them over and see what happens: -
a/ if the fault is still there and the relay in the same position still buzzes then the relay is not the problem, its a consequence of the problem.
b/ if the relay that buzzed still buzzes in its new position then its faulty
