I added FJRandy's horn relay and wiring harness. Shortly after, in fact, on the first ride, the horn on the right was "stuttering". When I parked the bike I disconnected the wires to make it stop (before shutting off the key). On the ride back home, the ABS light was flashing. Now, I'm not sure if that was related to the leaky front fork (left side) or not. Right now the forks are off and being worked on (fluid change, replace serviceable parts)
I used the right side original horn wires to connect to FJRandy's wiring harness for the switch. Power is from the battery. It's own fuse is good.
What I don't have;
working horns
working "N" light
working windshield adjustment
No brake lights (I'm not sold on this test yet; the front forks are off, so I don't know how that will affect the brake switch)
Prior to this work, the 12v glove box accessory plug wasn't working nor was the locking feature of that box. These weren't critical to me before. I've checked the wires leading up to these devices for cuts or crimps and they look good.
The wires that go to the windshield drive unit both have 00.00 readings on my voltmeter whether or not a friend is activating the switch. From that connection back to (100) only some of those wires are showing 12.30v - not the ones that go to the windshield drive unit.
I've checked all of the fuses and they are good. The main relay, starter(?) relay are good.
Swithes on, dash comes "alive" bike will start and shift just fine. Everything, except the "N" light, works on the dash.
Seven days before SFO...grrr
I don't need the aftermarket horns right now. The FJRandy wiring harness has not been "tested" since these flaky symptoms started. When I installed it and tested it (without starting the bike) it functioned perfectly. I did not cut into any wires during the install. None were pinched when I replaced the plastic.
I do have the service manual so reference page numbers or diagrams. There is a common wire to these items, but I'm not entirely sure how to test a relay, or what relay to test.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions
