Turn Signal Questions

[kizer sosa]

I am replacing the turn signals on my 1989 Max. The wires on my new signals don't match the ones on the bike. While trying to figure out which wires went where I must have blown something. I have two questions. 1. which wires on the Max are positive, negitave and running light, ( they are blue, green and brown in color). 2. I checked the fuse's and they appeared to be fine. A friend said it might be a"relay". Any ideas on this. Thanks. As you probably guessed I am a novice at this.

You probably blew the main fuse.

blue=running
black=ground
brown=signal

correct me if i'm wrong tho? u can wire the turn signals any way you want? as long as one wire goes to neg and one goes to positive ur good to go?

(excluding running lights)

yep i believe you can play pretty much during the installation without blowing the fuses.
I guess you will kill the lights before the fuse

Yep...even running lights.

He probably grounded the signal to the headlight bucket and blew the main fuse. I've done that before.

Led signals require you to use a flasher relay,you dont need the blue wire if your new signals are a 2 wire hook up.

Led's don't require a relay, they require you to wire in a diode into the turn indicator light to prevent feedback.
