1993 VFR 750 Electrical Fault

Hi all, This is my first post on VFR world so go easy !!!

Wondered if anyone could help me with an electrical fault I seen to have on my VFR.
The bike - 1993 VFR 750 RC36 FP
Problem - Warning lights don't light up when ignition is turned on?? Oil light, Side stand light, Neutral Light. The fuel and temp gauge's are also not working ???
I used the bike a couple of weeks ago and all was working fine then.
I have checked the fuses and had a quick look at the wiring but nothing seems to be out of place.

Any sugestins would be very welcome. Thanx guy's

have you checked the connectors on the back of the dash? It's a PITA to remove the top fairing, but once you do the connections are in plain view and in your face. Suggest double checking fuse, and then looking at the connector on the back of the dash.Open up, look for any irregularities, brighten up with a pencil eraser, lightly cover with dielectric grease, reassemble - test before replacing upper fairings

 

Thanx for the quick reply betarace, I will try what you have suggested and let you know the out come !!!

 

Check your battery voltage......

 

And replace the fuse. It could of go bad with out blowing. I've seen it couple time in cars. If that doesn't work use a test light at the fuse the make sure there is power at the fuse.

 

+1, the older it gets the more common it is to have problems at the plugs and conections under the dash and panels. Normally not serious just need a little luvin.
