Hey all, I’ve been attempting to chase down an electrical gremlin and could really use some assistance from someone with more skill in that area than me.
The bike: 2007 BMW G650Xchallenge
The issue: turn indicator light on the instrument cluster (dash) remains constantly illuminated, and I do mean constantly...key in any position, key off, key out of the ignition, that light is always on. Clearly this is an issue as the constant draw drains the battery. This is fine at home as the bike stays on a trickle but I have a week long trip coming up in August that will be all off-road with no ability to charge the battery at night. Waking up to a dead bike in the middle of nowhere is just not appealing.
Are there any electrical experts in the Houston area that would be willing to take a look? I’m happy to pay for services rendered, beer or cash Or does someone know a shop they recommend that will do this type of work? My guess is wire not grounding somewhere, chaffed, etc. I just can’t trace it.
Thanks!
