stupid question on my drz400sm - zxstunter - 05-14-2012

i was putting the rear turn signals in a different spot, testing them and they were working fine, then changed my ind and put them back were they were now when i try to see if the right side is blinking the turn signals dont even blink, not even the front ones, i dont know what happend, my tailingt will softly pulsate, along with my speedo. the brake light is dim, but when i push the brake it lights up bright, then when i hit the signal it softly pulsates, its hella weird, one second its working the next its not, not even the front ones thats whats hella weird, i checked all the fuses all good, only thing i have disconected is the wire that goes from the starter to the sienoid, i dought thats the problem, but i dont know this is on a 07 drz400sm

check the grounds, if its working but dim thats a sign of a bad ground connection usually.

+1 There's a bad ground somewhere.

check all connections and if you used butt connectors or anything make sure theyre good. I like to solder all my wires for a stronger connection but check your connections and ground and you should find the problem.

so i put a new starter cable on it (because it was resting on the exhaust) but i went through the wiring and no luck im not sure what the problem is??? front /back blinkers not working and taillight is super dim and when i try the blinkers the taillight still lightly blinking like the blinkers would, same with the speedo.. i just dont get it i was just unplugging and plugging back in the blinkers in the rear, changing the locations, not it fucked everything up lol

Tailight is dim because there is a poor connection somewhere most likely the ground. make sure the ground is a good clean connection to the frame. Also try tapping into the tailight ground close to the light and make a new one to see if it brightens up if that works you know thats your problem somewhere. make sure all your connections you plugged back in are correct also.

so i went through the wiring, soderd everything that was wire connected, i have the tank off and the front head light plastic off as well. i cant seem to find the problem any were. i put on the new cable to the silinoid and the starter still nothing everylight on the bike is hella dim, and when i turn on the parking light the tail light goes bright, i cant figure this out to save my life. now im thinking a part migh be bad, but this is carzy all i was doing was messing with the rear turn signals. please help. i need to get this bike running , the battery is fully charged. i remember before this problem , the bike when starting always seemed like it had a dead battery. it would turn over like the battery was goin to die . sometimes it would just click, i dont know , what part if any do you think is bad
