86 Spree Turn signals HELP!

[spree808]

Im trying to get my turn signals to work. i have the lights and everything but when i plug in the wires and start the bike they dont light up. i currently dont have a battery but i was told they would just turn on and not blink. If some one could give me instructions how to hook them up properly i would appreciate it. any info would be helpful. THANKS!

They might turn on if you rev the engine up, idle will not produce enough juice to even light the lights. Get a battery is your beat bet or at least jumper one into the system.

Down load the manual from the tech section and the wiring diagram is in there. The signal wires are color coded and the lights also require a ground, the green wire.

Get a Battery you will need it anyway. There might be nothing wrong

You don't need any battery for the signals to work. I can take my batt out and the signals still work.

Yeah, they will BARELY work when you rev the engine.

Some will work without a battery but most will not.

Any 2 terminal turn signal relay will work, so try your local auto parts store or even Walmart.

Any green wire is the same ground. The "B" connector one is made to have two items plugged into it.

The Spree battery is a YT4L-BS or a YTX4-BS. Interstate batteries and Batteries Plus have them. Batteries plus has a sealed battery that I prefer XTAX4L-BS.
