Okay, I've searched the forums here but couldn't find much related to a problem I'm having with Maverick. On a recent ride I suddenly lost my turn signals (loud buzzing sound and no blinking) and then the electrical start wouldn't work. I push the button but nothing happens, no clicking or other indication it's getting power to the starter. I've replaced the starter solenoid and turn signal relay and checked the wiring, though I don't have a voltage meter (and that will be my next step). The bike kickstarts and runs fine, with the exception of the signals staying continuously on when activated. Headlights and brake lights all work perfectly. Battery is fully charged and it tested fine (though we didn;t do a load test). Do you think it's a grounding issue, and how could it affect both the signals and elec start?
Puzzling...

Start by checking the fuse at the battery and if that is good have the battery load tested

Re: Elec Start and turn signal problems on Buddy
For what it's worth, I know that the signals and starter both run entirely from the battery.Jaylinb wrote:Do you think it's a grounding issue, and how could it affect both the signals and elec start?
