I hope we have some real electrical gurus in here. I am having a problem with my 99 GL1500SE. Periodically, the #8 fuse will blow. I replace the fuse and everything may be fine for a month or two, then it will do it again. While doing some other work on the bike, I decided to convert all of the lights on the bike to LEDs. All the lights work fine except, when I put in the LED relay for the turn signals (so they flash at normal speed as opposed to fast) an odd situation occurs. One of the two blinkers will stay on. The one that the switch was set to last. For example, if I hit the left blinker, the left blinker will stay on. If I hit the right blinker, the right blinker will stay on. It will not cancel either one. When I put the original relay back in, the turn signals work fine, except they blink fast. What I'm thinking is that there is a short to ground somewhere that is causing the #8 fuse to periodically blow and that makes the LED relay stay on instead of canceling. I can't find the short anywhere. The #8 fuse is for
8 Tail 15Amp Accessory lights, Instrument panel gauges, Instrument panel indicators, Meter Cornering lights, Headlight relays, License plate light, Position lights, Position Side marker lights, Taillights. I also checked all the fuses and swapped the relays, so I'm pretty sure it's not any of them. I sure hope someone here can give me an idea as to what's going on or at least somewhere to start. Thanks in advance.
