08 Moto Fashion.. no blinkers, horn, headlights  By  justguy1 (Read 10,283 times)

Did you check for voltage to ground at the fuses? Can you dl a schematic? Sounds like a dc supply problem somehow. Is your battery staying up?

I had to join Scooter Doc to find this schematic so I don't know if the link will work unless you are a member. The key switch only shows the red being connected to the black when the key is on. This should make the black hot. Looking at the schematic, a shorted regulator would be a condition that would cause your symptoms.

I realized that there could be other causes and that's why I said the shorted reg. could be a condition. It very well could be a bad switch or lamp/socket somewhere as well as other faults too.

Nope this is an ongoing battle.. its like personal now.. But I heard JR Is the man to talk to about electrical.

This is a CRAZY situation. . I have a video that I will post when I get home from work tonight. Just so you can see what the heck is going on.. In short.. When the key is on I have NO blinkers, horn, low beam headlight (the big bulb), no dash lights except the odemeter... Without starting it.. when I push the start button.. everything lights up on the dash.. each time I push the start button... Now here is the crazy thing...

When I shut off the key literally take it out.. There still is power.. the headlight NOW comes on.. the little bulb goes off, if I press the horn, the speedodemeter goes crazy up and down.. The blinkers will dim and light the odemeter.. I actually have to disconnect the battery to shut everything down..

So that is my story and im sticking too it.. CRAZY right?? Been going on for 2 months and can't ride the thing with no blinkers or a head light

OK. i have to find the rectifier first.. not to good with this electrical stuff.. i have a manual so should be ok.. Some people think its the ignition switch...

Good morning justguy1. I've read all the material and threads about your problem and it seems you have a weird problem for sure.

I even put up a thread on my forum hoping you would notice so we could help you there but since you've joined here we'll jump in here and see if we can get you going.

Now I'm going to ask you some questions so I can try to get a better picture of your scooter instead of trying to piece together all the stuff on other threads on other forums and trying to remember it all.

First of all is when you got this scooter did it run ok without these issues or did you get it with these troubles?
If it was fine when you got it did this happen all of a sudden like going down the road or you just got on one day and found all these problems?

I also noticed from previous threads and such that it appears you have installed a battery main disconnect switch to stop the battery draw from the alarm system to keep the battery from discharging when sitting for longer periods of time?









Were you having these problems before or after the switch install and from what terminals did you run this switch too? I would hope that you removed the positive battery cable from the battery, hooked it to the disconnect switch, then ran another wire from the switch to the positive post on the battery?

Now I looked at the picture of the plug on your ignition switch and after you answer these questions we'll go from there and I'll ask you to do some tests to see if we can isolate your trouble and go from there.
