What is this

Hey I am working on a 550 and there is no turn singel could this be it? Please help I just want to ride

 

Here is the pic

 

Looks like a flasher relay.

And yes, it can cause your non signaling signals.

thanks and does that control the head light

 

I dont think it would...

I cant say 100% its the flasher relay. It just looks like it.

Its under the gas tank near the front of the bike right under the ignition coils. Need to look under top part of frame. It is hard to find when your not sure where to look.

yes it is and i think it does control the head light on my bike

 

I suppose it might?

It appears its a different relay?

there are two the one with the stripe wires are in the back but the one with the solid wires are in the frount under the tank

The relay locations differ between bikes.

Is it a 550 Seca, or 550 Max?

The headlight relay DOES NOT have anything to do with the turn signals, and the turn signal relay IS DIFFERENT than the headlight relay.

The 550 does have a headlight relay (some XJ bikes don't) that only allows the headlight to come on once the bike has been started.

 

it is a maxim the only thing the head light come on if i switch the yellow and the blue

 

This is your headlight relay :

the wires to it should be white, black, red w/yellow stripe, blue w/black stripe.

And if your flashers arent working, the its safe to assume that its the relay that is under the coils.

I wish I could be more help, I suppose you could check to see if your getting power to the relays with a multimeter.

If you are getting power to the relays, and if your comfotable soldering, then you can open relays up and repair them. They are not really that advanced of devices. Chances are the connections inside have either rusted out or corroded to a lovely greenish white color. Clean them up, and many times you can save a costly replacment.

*Edit* If anyone can solve this issue its Fitz. Hell take care of ya.

Quit crossing wires before you cook something.

PM me with your email address and I'll send you the necessary reference materials.

The headlight SHOULD NOT come on until the motor is running.

 

Yup, my headlight doesn't come on until my bike is running as well... I say follow the fitz!

 

I got it all working now! One more thing what is the best way to put the carbs back in on a 85 xj700x maxim x
