Indicators Always on.
« on: September 20, 2025, 11:40:07 PM »
So the 850T has no indicator warning light and I am always leaving them on.
I was thinking of adding a bright LED around the dash but now thinking of a beeper/ buzzer.
 Have seen someone wire in a buzzer to left and right indicators with some diode in line that only allows flow one way but as electrical work is a dark art to me has anyone got a suggestion?

 I do not know if it is available for a guzzi, but there may be "noisy" relays that are made to be audible.
its not the end of the world...but you can see it from here!

On a few customer Guzzis, I have wired the high beam light to function as a signal indicator. Greg Bender fixed me up with a harness to do it.

Kiwi Roy posted a circuit diagram and a link to an appropriate (and still available) buzzer back in 2017:

You'll also need two 12 volt diodes rated greater than 10ma, available from Digikey, as referenced by Roy.

Search is your friend. :)

I have changed my mind and recommend that you get the harness mentioned by Charlie, from Greg Bender. If you don't know, he is at thisoldtractor.com. I guess that this modification merely lets the existing dash lamp function as a turn indicator when the high beam is off. When the high beam is on, the dash lamp probably does not work as a turn signal indicator. This seems fine to me, but you should clarify how it will work when you contact Greg Bender.

The reasons I am changing my recommendation are that I could not find a prepackaged solution in an internet search, and that I believe from having done the search that many people don't do a good job on their own. If you are comfortable soldering a diode in a wire that will be subject to vibration, then go ahead.

Greg Bender's solution also avoids the problem of where to put the new indicator light or the buzzer.
