Just stating the obvious isn't the turn signal supposed to be intermittent. You know on off :pop
Normally, that connector isn't the problem. Is it just one side?
Pounding (closed fist) on the rear fender (above the tail light assembly) restores the right rear turn signal flash function.That tells me the problem is an intermittent/corroded connector that must be at the rear of the bike.I know the right rear signal lamp itself is OK.The intermittent/corroded connector must therefore be the "inside" 5-way connector as pictured.Original question still remains:How do I best gain access to this item?Thanks
Demount the turn signal glass, use a small screwdriver to bend the contact terminal a bit outward, refit.
This fixed my Eldo yesterday...the ears of the Bulb weren't up FIRM against the socket...Alan
Nunzio, that was enough to keep the light out? That the bulb contacts weren't pressing hard enough? What was your fix?I ask because I've got a similar issue with a '65 Gilera, that has moped style electrics. The ignition coil grounds via the brake light. Right now the brake lights up, but it seems that the bulb isn't letting enough current through to properly ground the coil. I.e. engine dies when the brake light goes on.
It finally turned out to be the fix with my long lasting problem on the Breva front turn signal. So why not?
So when your brake light bulb burns out or you pull the bulb... the bike won't start?
Bike starts, runs fine. Dies when the brake light is on.All older Italian mopeds were wired this way. When the brake light is burnt out, and the brake is depressed, the ignition coil isn't grounded. Engine dies. Issue is that w mine, the light is fine. Lights up bright. But engine still dies. but only at idle. At high revs, engine keeps going. So I'm wondering if the bulb connections is poor. Particularly since the engine doesn't die, if I put a jumper across the brake light terminals. I.e. just a wire with no bulb.
Do you have a schematic you could link?Sounds like bulb not making contact..Have you tried a different bulb?Interesting problem....Alan
