78 R100RS Turn signal indicator light problem

[stevenrankin]

On my 78 R100RS we are having a problem with the indicator light for the turn signals not lighting. The turn signals and the four way flashers work fine, just the indicator light does not work. Swaping the console with another unit and swaping the flasher relay did not change anything. Checking the voltage to the bulb socket, there is very low voltage present, 1.2 volts. All connections appear to be clean and good, as far as we can tell, the system is wired properly.
Any thoughts as to what could be going on? St.

Then check your actual bulbs in the turn signals

Problem solved

Thanks to help on another post here in BMWMOA forum, I was able to get a wiring diagram for the four way flasher system on my bike. Turns out one of the leads in the turn signal and four way system was out of place. Put the wire in the correct spot and everything works as it should. St.
