R100GS turn signal stays on (without blinking)

[DonW]

Hi All,
I tried my unit on a friend's bike and confirmed the part was bad.

So, with nothing to lose, I took it apart. Turns out there is just some rubber like sealant on the bottom, which can be removed. When I looked at the "guts" it was obvious that one of the relays had a broken spade. I was able to solder the part together, and now all works. Not sure how long it will last, but...

Here's a pic

From the ADV forum, "Olds kool Airhead parts"...As a reminder, the pricey OEM turn signal flasher on the old airheads like my /7 can be swapped out for a "Tridon Stant" 12 volt 3 terminal #550 thermal flasher available for under $5 from any auto parts store.

The new flasher will have a "P" an "L" and an "X"...you want to plug the wires from the new socket into the existing flasher socket...match the "P" to the black/white wire (your dash light indicator)...match the "L" to the green/yellow wire (the "load"...i.e. the turn signals)...and, the "X" to the green/black wire (+12V supply). The fourth prong (that the new flasher won't have) is brown...for ground...the new flasher doesn't need a ground.

I think I paid under $10 for one that I put on my R90/6 a few years ago. Worked just fine.

Crunch, that's what I've got in my 90/6. Works well. Here's a diagram I made for a post on ADV (ignore the C? on the RHS):



And to DonW, congrats on fixing rather than buying.

Thanks Airbear.

The turnsignal controller on the post- 90 or 91 bikes is WAYYYYY different than the /7, or any airhead before. It's a 15 pin unit that is the same as the K-bikes.
