Brake light, turn signals, and neutral light not working
Hey, for anyone who has any idea I would greatly appreciate it. Just yesterday, on a ride, my brake lights, Voltaren signals, and neutral lights stopped working. I get nothing when the pressing the brakes or turning the signal switch. The headlight works fine on high and low beam, the bike runs fine without any issues at all. I’ve been looking for a relay or fuse, can’t seem to find that under the seat. Any ideas of what I should do, where I should look before having to take it to the local monkey?
Again, thanks.

I admit I am no expert on the 800, that is the domain of our illustrious board members Navigator and Lechy.
But,. you need help RIGHT NOW.
If I may suggest try looking for the Fuse Box behind the Side Covers. On the 1400, it is the left Side Cover. Perhaps that same with the 800?

Hey, thanks for the reply. Do you mean the site covers directly below the seats? On the side of the bike? I had those off today to get the seat off, but it didn’t dawn on me to search through those. I will tomorrow. Thanks.

Yessir! Those are the Side Covers I am referring to. Do you have a Service Manual? It should be in there.

Yes the covers below the seat. There will be a plastic box with a single screw near the center. Pull the screw and the fuse box cover will come off. I think you only have about 6-7 fuses so I would just pull and check each one.
If you have any type of electrical issue, have your battery load tested before you do anything else. Any auto parts store will test it for free.

And there it was! Absolutely as tall to me, left side of the bike, under the cover, a dark plastic fuse box. After opening this, there are basically five fuses, and the very first one was blown. Replaced, problem solved! Thanks a bunch guys. I’m going to try to put up a couple of photos to show what the box looked like going in. Again, thanks a bunch, was about to put the bike on my trailer and take it in, lol!

Glad it worked out for you.
Not to worry you but, if it happens again you have a bigger issue.
