Hello I have a 2007 vespa px 125. All of a sudden I have a fault with the indicators. They work but the indicator light on the steering next to the speedo does not. However when I was low on fuel the other day the indicated light started to flash when the orange fuel light came on. Does anybody have any pointers. Attachments:

Odds are it'll be a fault on the crappy pcb on the speedo. Good news is, you can repair it if you can solder. Bad news is that you can't buy a new one.

Changed the speedo for new.
Still the same fault.
This is what I have.
- all indicators work regardless
- green indicator lights on speedo don't work
- when fuel gets low and orange warning light is on the green flashing indicator light work
- whenever indicators are on the fuel gauge drops slightly.

I'd expect the fuel level to drop, it's all on the same AC circuit and the power has to come from somewhere. As for the rest, it must be a damaged wire on the way from the switching circuit to the speedo, I can't think of anywhere else it can be. Thinking about it, it could be responsible for the fuel gauge thing too if it's earthing out somewhere. I'd need to have a good look at a wiring diagram when sober though...  If you have a voltmeter, you could check for voltage reaching the speedo, rule that out to start with. |

Do you think it could be dodgy relay. As all wiring looks fine.

One vespa speedo and one relay later I have found the fault.
It was neither of them.
After putting the relay in it still didn't work. So pulled the horn cover off (again)
Low and behold I saw a little wire loose in the main block terminal. Pushed it back in and hey presto everything works.
