So in customizing my 1982 CB450T all at once, I seem to have caused a problem as I am now not quite sure as to where to start diagnosing my problem so that I can fix it.
Basically, I have replaced the speedo and tach and the turn indicators. Also replaced the rear brake light / running light with a correct 3 wire light. Turn indicators are all 2 wire type, so I will either have running lights or signals, but not both. If I just leave the wires that provide the current for the front running lights disconnected, I expect that the lights should still function as turn indicators, correct? All new lights are LED's, in case that matters at all. See my build thread for specifics.
So here is the real problem. My backlight on the speedo and tach work, along with my headlight but none of the other signal lights work. Where should I start in diagnosing this? Would faulty wiring of my tach or speedo (which does have indicator lights for neutral, brights, turn signal, ad oil pressure) have caused the rest of the lights to not work? What catastrophic failure might have resulted in this situation?
thanks in advance for help!
