I've been working on this bike off and on for a year and a half now. I have a wire coming off the ignition coil to the red wire on the new flasher pictured, then the black wire going to the turn signal switch (I tried it the other way too) and all they do is light up. At least they are wired left/right correctly. This part should be pretty simple. Right? Do I need to use resistors?
The only deviation from your instructions is that I'm pulling power from the ignition instead of directly from the battery. I was told not to ground straight to the battery, but you say it's ok. I don't want to have to remove the turn signals, they're wired through the handlebars which was difficult the first time. So I'll order a new flasher and see what happens.
Grounding directly to the battery is technically OK. It's usually not advised because removing the battery is simpler when you don't have three dozen wires to disconnect.
Pulling power directly from the battery is the real sin, but because this is just a test and not meant to stay this way, it's not as bad.
Our flasher is marked with a positive and a negative stamp on each of the terminals. Positive is power and negative heads off toward your turn signal switch.
If this is going on your Honda 360, these wires are black and then gray, respectively.
turns out i mixed up the white wire from the turn switch with the very light gray wire from the kill switch. now i have three working flashers. thanks for your help.
