I think on the left side by the pos.battery cable are some fuses also,or check the wires in the head light one of the plugs may not be tight

checked 2 fuses on right side and fuse box on left side. all seems in tact, still no lights.  no running lights or signal come on.

i was trying to install the turn light bar that extreme revolution has.  problem i encountered was it only has one wire coming from each light, so i ordered the magic cables they say will allow the lights to be running and signal still. even with out that, i can't see how a one wire light is hooked up.  anyways.  so after what i thought was installing them to check to see if they came on I noticed no lights in turn signals.  then i reverted back to old signals to at least test there was power supplied to the signals.  no power.  all other come on, brake, headlight, etc, just no turn signals or running on front.  I'v run out of solutions and am getting freaking frustrated.

on a 2006 1800 is there anywhere else fuses may be at?  so far i checked on left side directly behind the cover and on left, two fuses in a clear light blue housing.

Is is possible that a bad relay will stop the signal lights from working completly? I removed what i think is the relay for such, and turn the bike on and everything else worked fine minus the turn signals and running lights.  So......I'm assuming that that is the bad part, still don't know.

FWIW, the left front signal shows 3 wires: Orange, Green and Orange/White; on the right side it shows these 3: Light Blue, Green and Light Blue/White; these are supposed to hook into connectors with the same colored wires and are located inside the headlight shell housing. The stock relay sits under the left side cover to the left of the battery and is, I believe, the third black box (from the rear of the bike moving forward). FTR, the switch continuity is as follows:

        L  W  R  PO PL RR
    R      0--0   0--0
    N               0--0--0
    L   0-0        0-----0
Color 0  G  Lb Bl/Br ^ Lb/W
                        O/W

Don't know if any of this helps, but it's the best I've got. :notworthy:

i appreciate it, here is the thing though that is throwing me off.  coming out of the signal housing is only two wires. left is orange/white & green; right is blue/white & green. not three wires.  i guess my first issue right now though is getting the stock signals to work again.  So not sure if maybe the relay is making them not work at all.
