One day my blinkers on my 1994 Shadow VLX 600 were not blinking but lit up . what I found out was that the battery was just down enough that that they would not work. So I ordered a new battery from a discount place which has worked until I let the bike sit for 2 months. I charged it periodically. Took it on a long ride today but found out that the blinkers are not working again. So thank you for giving me some ideas though as I am looking to figure out what is wrong with it. You did mention the battery was so so, ,that was a clue.
You sir, represent the difference between a mechanic and a technician. A mechanic would have just shot gunned a bulb or relay at it. You went through and tested everything to make sure everything is working.
Both of my front turn signals work. However, my right front turn signal (I guess running light?) does not light up. Do you have any idea what I should check? Thanks.
I should clarify that. I mean when the signal is not on, the left light is lit but the right is not. When I turn on the right turn signal, it does light up and flash. I hope that is clear.
I have a vlx 600 shadow and I have no running lights working including the brake light. All blinkers work when engaged, same as brake light but no running lights except headlight . Any help would be great
That's an odd one. Sounds like a fuse or bad connection on a wire somewhere. Trace the wires backwards from the lights and see if they are exposed or cut possibly.
I have a 06 shadow 1100 and today my turn signals, horn and brake lights stopped working. It seems they share the same fuse but the fuse seems good. Any idea what it might be?
@@rabidsquirrelgarage745 I found the culprit of the issue. You wouldn’t believe what was wrong with it. I tightened the battery cables down and it fixed the issue. Can a loose battery connection cause no power to those wires?
Why my rear Left signal stays on all the time ..I have checked my connection to orange wire but my left rear signal is always engaged. Any help out here?
No worries, I saw in one of your videos you had a Sanford shirt on so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask if you were in my area to get my bike looked at. Thanks for responding!
Nest of wires!!! LOL

Humm, at this point, I would start tracing the wires and testing them.
Have you had any success figuring this one out? I have the same issue with mine except it’s the left running light.
I have a 07 Honda shadow and I’m having issue changing the brackets that the mirrors attached to. Any chance you can do a video on how to replace them
The bike is already back with its owner, sorry.

@@rabidsquirrelgarage745 so it was a fuse. All lights work except running light on right side rear. Bulb is good and it blinks just no running light

frayed, cut or loose wire is most likely the issue.

Will my signals work but how do u get them to stay on with the running light
Connect them to the headlight.
Ok I’ll try that I did see a wire hanging wonder were it go to I had gone led them I went back to regular bolt hopefully I’ll fix that
How do you remove the front turn signal housing? I see the nut holding it together but it's square and looks to be welded to the mount.
Why my rear Left signal stays on all the time ..I have checked my connection to orange wire but my left rear signal is always engaged. Any help out here?
My turn signals all work, my rear amber lights stay off, bulbs and fuses are good. Might it be the relay?
More than likely a loose wire.
@@rabidsquirrelgarage745 thank you so much
Video helps out! Turn signal issues i know what to look for now. Thank you
Are you located in Sanford Florida? I’d like to take my bike to get looked at with you?
Unforunately not, I'm in Cincinnati, Ohio. I did live in Sanford for a while though!!

None of my turn signals work so I haven’t been riding like I want to I’m loosing my mind on it
