Left Front LED stopped working

[Mzee]

I don't know why. I have checked and don't understand why. What possible reasons can one ascribe to this failure? Note all the other sides are working. They are four years old. Help.

Is this your LED blinkers ? The LED is probably OK, it probably has something to do with the wires... wear, dirt, water, mud, broken, Etc.... If it were my bike I would pull the LED out along with the wires. Test the LED at the back or as close to the LED as possible, if it works, just find the 'issue' in the wires.....

If you find the LED is burned out for some reason, and you test the wires and they are all OK, you can probably find just the LED (new) off line and replace the LED... fast, easy fix.....

were these plug and play?
or hack and splice?

Is it your actual relay that's maybe gone?
did you say the rear is working, and the fronts are dead?

Moar info please!

Thank you Tabassco. Only the left front one is not working. All the others are working. It the Yamaha after after Market. Originally installed by a Yamaha electrician. I will look deeply today and let you know.

I have the same blinkers. It's probably a wire issue. When you install these they come with some dumb connectors. Make sure just one side didn't come loose. This is probably your problem. When I installed mine I saw that might become an issue so I soldered all of the connections.

I agree with Tabasco, the majority of electrical issues that I fix are either failed connections or blown fuses.

then I'll jump on the splice band wagon
check those out, probably an easy fix. wiggle them at the connection while they are on, to see if they turn on temporarily

Tabasco nailed the problem on the head. I examined the flicker itself. I immediately found a loose wire. Pushed the wire back inside, turned the key on and viola it was working. The problem was how to disassemble the flicker. As you all know it seems to me it was not made to be repaired. Well with a knife and screw driver I was able to pull it apart. Soldered the offending wire and using super glue and water proof silicone, I put every thing back. No problems whatsoever.

I like these flickers. They are some of the brightest I have seen but a pair is about 100$

Thank you every one for your kindness.
