Having lots of headaches trying to troubleshoot here. Bike is '74 850. Was running well until last week. Had some sudden engine shut-offs that I seem to have resolved by cleaning/tightening connections, but now I'm getting no turn signals on left side only. While testing a few things I discovered flasher unit (modern two prong unit) actually clicking, not flashing turn lamps but is flashing the taillight!? I've fed 12v direct to the left lamp wires at the multi-connector block and they light up fine.
Noticed the white connection to ign switch getting hot. I fitted a lower 15A fuse and she blew when triggering left turn switch (had a 30A in there originally). I have multimeter and LED test lamp but getting blurry eyed trying to figure out what I need to be probing. I have the turn switch apart to see if there is any errant metal or screw loose, but all looks ok.
A step by step would be very helpful at this point.
Cheers.
