    Hi there. I have a 2007 Speedmaster, the front right turn signal is not working and hyper flashing on right rear. The left side is working correct. I have checked the fuses and the RF globe all in order. I have swapped out the complete front unit with the left hand side and still not working front right. The front right unit I swapped to the left side is working when fitted on left side. Any suggestion as to where the fault lies is appreciated.

    Fuses and bulbs can look fit for purpose but arnt, or a broken wire / bad connector.

    Hi, Thanks, I'm kinda thinking so as well. Any idea where I can download a wiring diagram? Cheers R

    Because you swapped the units over from left to right and still had the same problem this to me points to a wiring/connection problem :( in the wiring up to the indicator unit :confused:
    Try to find the ends of the indicator wiring and test the wiring for continuity using the multi meter :)

    Morning, I checked the continuity between flasher relay and bulb housing and all good, also earth wire to chassis and good. I note voltage fluctuating between 2 and 6v at bulb housing. Suspecting possible the flasher unit needs replacing?

    Almost certainly a bad earth - had this with the after market indicators on the Bonneville.

    Agree with dilli, the flasher unit is obviously ok as it is working with the other side, wiring problem to the front right unit, or bad connection at the unit itself.

    Success yeah.... I opened the starter switch housing and there is a connector from the indicator unit inside. Found no continuity on one of the wires, opened heat shrink and found a pinched and broken wire. Problem solved. Thank you all very much for your input, I would otherwise be overwhelmed by electrical issues and resorted to a probable expensive auto electrician bill. Stoked, now I don't have any roadworthy issues when registering bike. Regards...
