Turn Signal Problem

dllewis5
Bike: 1980 cb750c

Hey guys I'm almost done redoing my cb750, and my turn signals on the bike don't seem to be getting any type of power. According to my wire diagram the orange/white and the blue/white are my right and left turn signal wires. When testing them with a test light I do not get any power, I've traced them all the way to the switch harness location and still get nothing. The weird thing though is that my low and high beam works fine when switching back and forth between the two, whereas i get nothing when trying the left/right switch. Is there a relay that might be missing or maybe theres something wrong with that housing unit??

Any information would be great and highly appreciated

Thanks,

-Dennis

The turn signals do not get power from the same source as the headlight. You need to trace the wires back to the flasher unit, and maybe the ignition switch.
