Indicators on 05 1200gs

[davidabowyer]

Rode through torrential rain for a day on Tuesday. Since then the indicators have been activating themselves which is both dangerous and very annoying. It's generally the right one that comes on and I have to press the activation switch and then the cancel switch to get it to go off. Some times it won't go off at all and I have to press the hazard switch? The dash is not displaying any warning of an electrical fault. Has anybody suffered and remedied this fault or got any advice on what I need to do to get things back to normal?

Why this is in travel I do not know but if you are travelling the simple answer is to take the switchgear off and squash as much vaseline in and around as you can this will stop the water getting in and shorting the contacts

Look for indicator switch in the Font there's lots of info in there

P.S. If you do decide to use a switch Do not use the ABS one DAMHIK

They are fixable for little cost. I've put some details in the below thread. Good luck.

I'm about to order a couple of the 2.5N switches, the postage costs are ridiculous but if anyone wants to share those costs, let me know and I'll order a few more
