Jumped on the bike this morning and let her warm up while changing over my tax disc etc.. once I got on the bike I realised the indicator lights on the dashboard where permanently on, I checked the psychical indicators and they worked without fault..

When I indicated right the dashboard light on the right hand started to blink as normal but when cancelled the dash returned to the permanently lit state..

I Rhode into work and it was no issue as it wasn't affecting the actual function of the indicator itself.. once I had reached my destination the dash lights had returned to their normal state...

I will keep an eye on this? but am a tad worried this might be a PCB fault.. anyone had any experiences similar?

dont know but looks nasty!!!!

kill it... kill it with fire!!!

Just checked the bike again and it the issues seems to be connected with the main beam switch.. when i turn on the lights (manual switch for lights) the indicator dash lights come on and don't turn off..

Really starting to think its a board problem. Arrrghhhhh!!! i loving hate electrics!!!

Could be a bad earth - pull it apart and check all the wire terminations and earth points.

sounds like bad connection somewhere, maybe even moisture getting in????

depends how electrically minded you are but as suggested expose all the wiring and have a right look at condition etc

Sounds like water and/or an earth problem to me.

If you're lucky, a good spray with WD40 may displace any water.

Do you use this technique in your underpants Gazza?

Not all the time. Sometimes I have to use a hoover due to the solids.

check your battery..faulty battery can cause wierd electrical activity. Happened to me once or twice before.

Check your relays as well for the indicators and the headlights.

All it is is that somewhere a switch has been 'made' to power the lights on when they shouldn't be. You just have to find that 'switch', whether its the relays, bad earth (likely) or bad connections/shorts as mentioned before.

Vehicle electrics are a nightmare as the wiring is overly complicated for simple circuits and can make tracing them difficult. They usually switch on the negative side aswell, which is just wrong.
