    Ok guys, needs some other things to check before I start replacing items, like signal relay.

    Just got my 06 VFR over a week ago. She's barely broken in. 1350 miles on her and I've put another 100 on her. Love the bike. Now the problems start.

    Turn signals just stopped working.

    Horn and brake light are still working, lights are good, otherwise I would have said fuse.

    I checked the switch on the bars and it's in great shape, still have the friggin grease on it. I didn't meter it yet though.

    thoughts? Signal relay?

    I'm in the process of downloading the service manual from the site for further ideas.

    Further ideas are much appreciated.

    check fuse b in panel and see if it is blown, my book is only good to 2000 bikes but may be close

    Thanks, however, from what I've read and looked at on the wiring diagram, if the fuse was gone my horn and brake like would be gone. I could be wrong.
    - Here's an update though. I just went out and turned the key, moved the blinker switch..working now. Oh great, just what I need an intermittent electrical issue.

    I can't say it was rain or weather, it hasn't been in any wet weather. I'll keep you updated. Thanks for the ideas. If someone could confirm what rjgti said above with the newer service manual, I'd appreciate it. I'm trying to download it again.

    Nozzle,

    Thanks! I put a blue sea fuse box in on Saturday, also added my battery tender to the bike. Wired up some front hyper driving lights and everything was fine on Saturday. Never near the wiring harness. Thought I might have jostled something. Went back today after this occurred at the end of a morning ride and disconnected the fuse box, checked the turn signal switch on the bar. Nothing. After waiting for the service manual download to finish, which it never did, I went through the wiring diagram. Thought I was in for a long time of bs, still may be, however when I was getting ready to put her away and take out my FJR I turned the key and they worked. Went on a 60 mile ride, no issues. I hoping for the best, a fluke. I hadn't washed the bike yet, and no riding in the rain. The bike is mint, friggin 1350 miles on it when I bought her. I really don't want to start chasing an electrical ghost.

    Thanks for the update. I've got to pull the covers on her totally yet, however those that I have show everything intact. I'll see what happens when we get some damp weather again, maybe that will show me something else.
