Signal lights working all the time
« on: August 12, 2023, 06:59:04 PM »
So my signal lights work even when the key is off on my 1987 California II.
Is this a Guzzi thing or do I have wiring issues?

Do the brake lights also work with the key off?

I don't know about the Cal II, but my Convert came from the factory that way. It was so that the police officer could leave them on while the engine was off, and he was writing the ticket.  :wink:

My ‘77 Convert does the same - likely an added side effect/benefit of having the four-way flashers not switched.
