Wiring and indicators

[donegalad]

Good evening everyone.

I'm (thankfully) getting to the end of a bare frame rebuild of a 350 LC. I'm reusing the previous aftermarket wiring loom and have everything wired back up. The engine isn't back in the frame yet but everything else is working apart from the front LH indicator is on constantly along with the light in the speedo clock. When move the indicator switch to the left the rear indicator flashes fine, the front one stays on but seems to flicker a small bit in time with the rear unit. 

I've made sure there is a good earth but am not really that much of an expert with electrics. I've read a few similar threads on the forum with similar problems but I'm stuck.

Any ideas would be really helpful. The looms was working fine before the bike was stripped down and is a German import 1981.

Thanks!!

Check all the connections, youve got an earth and it could be as simple as you plugged a light green into a dark green when rebuilding.

Make sure as Jon says you haven't mixed up a light green/dark green, brown/dark brown from the indicator/brake light circuit

I had had this recently it was the greens mixed up in the headlight

Yep, done that. Similar colour bullets in the headlight to cause mischief!

Thanks guys. It was as simple as connecting to the wrong brown wire. All's good now.

Appreciated!!
