100RT '88 Indicators

[ELIMINATOR]

Took bike for MOT earlier. 1/2 mile from bike shop, right hand indicators pack up

Get there, left indicator, all normal. Right hand indicator, no indicators, electrical noise under tank like the relay is doing something.............. other than working the indicators.

Bike passes MOT

Get home multimeter out, indicator switchgear, less then 3 years old, spray it, no improvement.

hazard lights all work.

Playing with faulty indicators, noise from under tank changes to a high pitch whine

Now the left hand indicators work, but, the repeater on the dash doesn't!

Turn ignition off, back on, indicators now work as normal.

This was the first ride after I used the Waxoyl under the tank and on the frame tubes, can there be a link between the two?

Did some research on other motoring forums, would seem to be a short somewhere on the right hand side. I'll see how it goes.

Check the two connector blocks on the right hand side near the headstock, think it is normally a red one with a black one underneath. Clean them with some contact spray and make sure they are connected fully again pushing the wires at the back towards the connectors.

I have a similar problem and every so often the wiring just rattle loose and need to push them back. Sometimes when I put the indicator on it feels like a dead short as it cuts out for a second, never been able to find the bloody short in the wiring and it comes and goes
