Hello everyone,

I have a Honda cb125 with an electrical issue that apparently i cant solve.

All 4 blinkers are working at the same time, when i turn the switch to the left all four lights blink but the front left one is more intense. The same happens when i turn the switch to the right but the more intense light is the right front one.

The conections are all correct and obviously i have power.

Can anyone help me with this.
 
No, its regulars bulbs not led.

I rewired the all bike accordingly to the old wire diagram but i have this problem.

The switch is new so i belive its not compromised.

The diagram is quite simple on the turn signals. Its 3 wires 1 for the left side, one for the right and one for the switch and relay.
The wire for the left conects the two left turn signals and the switch wire from the left and the same happens for the right side, the the thirth wire goes from the switch to the relay that receives power from the black wire.
 
Try disconnecting the dashboard indicator light for the turn signals and let us know if that changes anything.
 
Sounds like something is not hooked up correctly.

On the left hand control assembly, what do you have plugged into the orange, light blue, and gray wires?
 
When they are all 4 working, power is on blue and orange. Id say problem is the indicator or handlebar switch. As they are blinking, the relais is ok and we can conclude the circuit before the relais is also ok. As the barswitch is the only thing were a possible connection between orange and blue can be (next to disconnected signal bulb) its prolly there...

Hello Sonreir,

I checked the connections 3 times already:
Gray for Relay; LB for rigth and O for Left.
 
Time to break out the multimeter.

Disconnect the three wires you listed and measure the resistance between the gray and orange when signalling left and for signalling right. Repeat for gray and light blue. Please post the results here.

Hello Bert Jan,

Yes, for the 4 to work there as to be power on orange and blue.
I also belive the problem must be in the switch(that is new by the way), but what i find strange is that althought the 4 lights blink, one of them blinks stronger then the others and its always the one on the front side that i turn the switch to.

I am sorry Sonreir, but i'm new to this.
I have a multimeter but i only know how to mesure volts and amps, how do i mesure the resistence?
when you say disconnect the wires, you mean disconnect them from the all turn lights or from the switch?
 
Just disconnect the switch. That's the portion we'll be testing.

To measure resistance, switch over to the Omega - Ω - symbol. Most multimeters' lowest level is 200 and that's fine for our tests.

Put one probe on one wire and the other probe on the other wire. If you have a good connection, you'll see numbers appear on the meter. If no connection, usually the meter will read a "1" in the far left column.

I belive i understod the idea. You want me to test is if the switch is connecting the wires correctly inside the switch, right?

Unfortunatly at the moment i'm working away from home and i can only do this test next weekend.

Anyway thanks for the help Sonreir, next weekend i'll give you news from the test results.

Correct.

If the switch is working, then we can test the wiring. If the switch isn't working (or at least working as expected) we can work on that.
 
Sonrier,

I made the resistence test you sugested to the switch, and its working just fine.

So after the test i could only see one problem, the negative wire. By some reason that i dont know(maybe you can explain it to me) i cannot connect the negative wires from the 4 blinkers the same negative wire of the wiring harness.

Solution:
create a new small negative wire, and connect it directly to the frame.
Then connect the negative wires of the 2 rear blinkers to it.
And the negative wires from the 2 front blinkers go into the negative wire of the wiring harness.

Result: "Ka Ciao" blinkers working just fine.
