Just installed a new sequential taillight with turn signals built in.

I think i sorted a fuse cause my turn signals no longer work. Also the brake light works when i use the brake but is not illuminated if i am not braking. I am new to bikes and don't have an owners manual. I just don't know what fuse to replace. Any ideas?

If you look at the fuses you will see there is a small bridge of metal at the top, if the fuse is blown you will most likely see a break in it. I think this is what happened when I fitted aftermarket indicators and tried to use copper washers because they were smaller than OE indicators. What an idiot! :D

Sounds like you've blown a fuse. Fuses don't wear out so there was or is a short. Recheck your wiring. :D

You def blew the tail fuse which is on the same circuit as the turn signals. If this happened after installing aftermarket blinkers, I would say there is almost definitely a short.

Recheck all of you wiring. Oh, and the tail fuse is the white fuse outside of the main fuse box that is clearly labeled with "tail"
