Blinkers = no lights

[machinist75]

When I first got my deuce all the lights worked including blinkers. Alternator went out, got a new one from our friends at wolverine tech. Alternator works but knowwhen I engage blinkers they don't work and head and tail lights go out. When I turn the blinkers off the lights come back on. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Check every ground to see if they are good. It has to be a short.

I forgot to mention that when you engage blinkers they do not come on and the tight go off. The signal arm doesn't even flash.

I misstyped, the lights go off.

Sounds like shorts or bad grounds. Check the circuits with a multi-meter.

I agree with a short or ground.

But I did have all 5 bulbs burn out at the same time on mine. Still don't know why and becouse it did not make sence that all 5 would be burnt out i started testing power in and out of the switch before I realized the problem.

Mic 4:2 Many nations shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

I just don't understand what would cause headlights to go off when signals are turned on.

Looking at the diagram the power for the turn signal switch comes from the headlight switch. So a short in the turn signals or switch could cause the headlights to go out also a faulty connection or light switch could cause this.

Looking at the light switch in the diagram. you will see wire 15. is the power coming in to light switch. wire 460 / 461 that is power coming out to the turn signal switch.

Try unplugging the light switch and using a jumper wire jump wire 15 to 460 and try the turn signals. if they work most likely the light switch or plug is bad. look at the connections on the plug and switch for burnt connectors.

Good luck
