SOURCE: blinkers dont work

The problem is in the TSSM (Turn Signal Security Module).It has a Bank Angle Sensor in it that shuts the bike down in case of an accident it will shut down when the bike is knocked over.It should have reset.You might be able to disconnect the battery and reset it but you will probably have to take it ti the dealer to have it fixed electronically.

SOURCE: Tanked up at gas station.

For speedometer not working replace the speed sensor

the speedo sensor mounted on the transmission. They have a habit of going bad. Sometimes it is possible to just clean metal particles off the magnectic tip and it will start working. speed sensor (vss).The vss gets metal shavings on it from the trans.You can clean it off but take a few more minutes and replace it.Replacing the speed sensor should help.------
The speedo wires are white,,red and black.If the speedo is not working the sensor may be bad.Its located in the top of the transmission

This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.

SOURCE: Keep blowing fuse for running lights on trunk, fender marker lights, tail light and front turn signal running lights. can't find bare wire anywhere.

Not necessarily a bare wire. Could just be a slight broken spot in the insulation. Check the wiring inside the rear fender. Sometimes the tire gets into the wiring harness and chews things up a bit. This usually happens on lowered bikes.

No tail lights on my 2008 ford escape. driver rear blinker wasn't working. replaced bulb, but when i turn on the blinker both blinkers are blinking...front and back...

Not sure I follow your story.
The front and rear turn signal should blink on one side. If the tail lamps are not working, it could be a fuse or a problem with the wiring. And the tail lamps are on the same circuit as the front parking lamps.

Tail lights are not working correctly

I have to believe that with all of the "non related" issues happening that there is a wiring harness problem. If you track the harness back from the tail lights you will probably find a nick or a break in the line. If nothing shows then check the connection point which should be somewhere around your fuel tank. It will be a male/female fitting that will pull apart and you can check at that point with a meter if it is working to that point. If not it then you will have to work your way all the way up to find the fault point.

Fuse keeps blowing

sounds like you have a short in the wiring

are all the signal light bulbs good? if one is out this will cause the blinker to run fast also maybe a bad blinker can

the head light and tail light are on the same fuse check under your rear fender and seat for a naked wire somtimes the tire wares on the wires if they run under the fender also check all running light wires (ie front fender light I had this problem with a FXR and it was the wire under the front fender to my fender light

Turn signals blin continually

There is only a few things that can cause blinkers to blink continually, meaning if your saying they wont shut off, Normally it is the blinker flasher or a fuse. Sometimes it can be in the blinker switch itself. I first would check the flasher, and turn signl fuse. If the blinker stays on and does not flash, still can be bad flasher or fuse or a ground problem, You would then have to check the wires around area where there contact to the tail light blinkers and front blinkers. But first start as said earlier with checking flasher fuse, switch and fuse. Mike

My rear brake light is not working, nor is my blinker at the back right. When I put the right turn signal on it blinks really fast, faster than normal, and the front blinker works. I have replaced both...

Normally with the blinker blinking really fast, it's telling you that one of the bulb is blown, front or rear signals. Check your fuse, and fuse relay to see if it would fix the promblem

TURN SIGNAL, BRAKE & HAZARD LIGHTS

No Turn Signal Operation (blinker)The turn signal lights in your car are a basic electrical system that controls the front and rear blinker lights to alert the intended direction of the vehicle. We have listed some of the most common problems and repair troubleshooting tips below:
Troubleshooting Procedure
To start troubleshooting this problem:
  • Turn the key to the on position (do not start engine)
  • Inspect the system fuse located in the fuse panel and replace if needed. If you cannot find the location of the blinker fuse consult your owner's manual or an online repair manual
  • When a blinker flasher fails it can cause blinker lights to say on, not blink, or not go on at all. To test the blinker system flasher, remove the flasher unit and insert a jumper wire between the two terminals. If blinker stays on in both directions without blinking, replace the flasher. If you cannot find the location of the blinker flasher consult your owners manual or an online repair manual.
