Why is it never that easy when its your own bike.
 

Last night, rather late at night I popped over to my brothers to help him with a electrical problem on his girl friends ER-5. The problem was after a drop of the bike the rear indicators had stopped working, now the bulbs where fine and electric testing was showing the wiring had a connection, though it was about 2-4 volts. I said it sounded like a bad contact but the wiring diagram was confusing him...

I got there, spent about 15 minutes fiddling and found the cause was water in a connector block he hadn't found along with rusty/fuzzy connections. So with some WD-40 and a thin screw driver it started working and we where getting 9volts plus. Though it was noticed that if you move the block some times it stopped, but it was to dark to start stripping and soldering new connections.

Now my bike I spent 2 hours looking at it and still don't work, I need to schedule some time myself to sort it!

Don't I know it, I bet I'll think about looking at my bike this weekend and end up making something worse.
